I've been offline most of the day, but I did catch one important bit of news:

Adium (the only IM client I use) is looking to integrate Twitter functionality! And being Adium, they seem to have some good ideas!

Much as I love Tweetdeck, the ability to use one less application (and until the website doesn't suck, I'll need at least some external app for Twitter) is very tempting.

What is Adium? (other than an IM client?)

[laurel]

That's all Adium is-- an IM client. It's a very good one for the Mac that works with many different services (AIM, Google Talk, LJ Talk, ICQ, Yahoo, and so on). Though if they add Twitter, it'll be an IM + Twitter client, I guess.

Thank you :) It was the OSX piece that I wasn't familiar with :)

It's an OSX (Mac) IM client that covers a wide range of IM services, including LJ, Facebook, AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, and a few others.

Huh, that would be interesting.

That would rock. I'd have adium open a lot more then. I have a bad habit of never opening it unless I need to see if someone's on to ask a question.

I'll admit, I squeed minorly when I saw the tweet. All I really, REALLY want from them is the ability to group sort of like Tweetdeck does now, and also have separate notification settings for each group, like Tweetdeck so doesn't. I don't think that's too much to effing ask.

off topic, but relevant to your interests

I stopped using Adium. It was causing multiple kernel panics on my macbook. :P Now I'm stuck with iChat *sigh*
