Google Chrome hits beta for Mac and Linux, extensions available for extra-smug Windows and Linux users
At long last Mac and Linux users don't have to feel like second class citizens in Chrome land: they've got official beta versions of Google's browser to call their own. Of course, people have been running the open source Chromium version on both sides of the fence for ages, but beta brings with it a new level of stability and officialness. Google is also finally launching extensions for Chrome, which is available for the Windows and Linux versions of the browser, and with Mac compatibility on the way. There are already 300 extensions available, not a bad start, and hopefully a good indication of the sorts of added functionality we'll be able to stuff into Chrome OS with the help of a seemingly-excited developer community.

Fresh and beautiful but beta and invitation only ist Kiwi. It comes with several Themes, multi account support and an interesting feature: It's possible to define rules and it's quite handy to do this.Sooner or later kiwi will become commercial; there is an App-Purchase and it shows $14.95.
I'm not sure why, but still right now I'm with Tweetie and Kiwi won't change this. If you want to try Kiwi, 5 Invites are available: BFF24378

Kiwi! Ein neuer Twitter Client - Beta Invitation Codes zu vergeben
Ein neuer Twitter Client ist wieder aus dem Boden der zahlreichen Clients gewachsen. Und den kann man mittels einem Beta Invitation Code ausprobieren. Um nicht allen die wirklich interessiert sind die Möglichkeit zu nehmen einen solchen zu ergattern möchte ich die Möglichkeit bieten sich hier einen zu holen. Sonst zahlt der drauf, der zu spät seine Timeline nach neuen Tweets kontrolliert.
Die Codes lauten:
99764B25
39B66345
79467965
29868985
8FB7F3B5
Meine Persönliche Meinung: Schön, und endlich wieder „customizeable“. Aber Tweetie kann Kiwi bei mir glaub ich bis jetzt noch nicht ablösen.
TweetDeckが公式List、公式Retweet、Geo Tagに対応 That's Great!!
TechCrounchのアナウンスどおりTweetDeckの新しいバージョン0.32.0が出た。
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/30/tweetdeck-lists-geo-linkedin/ 他の機能は上の記事を見てもらうとして、元来のTweetDeckユーザーが一番欲しかった機能がTweetDeckのグループコラムをtwitterのリストに出力させる機能だ。
これによりTweetDeckで以前より作成してあったグループメンバーをTwitterのリストと対応させることが可能になった。 Twtiterのリスト機能がでる前よりTweetDeckでグループを作成していたヘビーユーザーにとってはとても嬉しいことじゃないだろうか？ DL はhttp://tweetdeck.com/beta/download/P.S.惜しむらくば検索の日本語対応もしてもらいたかった。

Tweetminer - Tweet Scheduling And More... #tweetminer
What is Tweetminer?
Tweetminer is a slick web based Twitter client for power users featuring a built in tweetable RSS (news feed) reader and a very powerful rolling schedule tool. The basic client is free but for those of you who like to bite off a bit more there are also three different paid options.
Twitter Client
The Twitter client part of the application is on first sight everything you would expect from a single column client, allowing you to see all the regular timelines (friends, DMs, mentions etc.) and allows you to add timelines for individual users, searches and even lists. You can also see and update your own timeline and reply to tweets/DMs as per normal.
What makes it really useful is that each tweet can be either retweeted instantly, added to the rolling schedule or edited. If you edit a tweet you can retweet instantly or add to your schedule for tweeting later. Very handy for retweeting the good stuff from your lists and favourite users without clogging up people's timelines.
You can also add multiple Twitter accounts if you're a real power user.
RSS Reader
The RSS reader, while not a full featured RSS client like Google Reader does allow you to add feeds and perform the following actions: Instant tweet, edit, add to schedule and flag for review. It is lacking a decent preview so you do unfortunately have to click through and open the article to find out what it's all about. With the scheduling you can either add it to your rolling schedule or select a specific time for the tweet to go out.
Schedule
Tweetminer features a very advanced scheduling tool allowing tweets to go out at specific times or to be added to a rolling schedule that you can set up in advance to operate between certain times on certain days of the week. Items in the rolling schedule can ordered to your liking.
Premium vs Free
Tweetminer comes in four different flavours at four different costs:
Basic / Free
Budget Yearly / $60 per year
2 Twitter Accounts
Premium / $10 per month
5 Twitter Accounts
3000 Twitter API Calls/Day
500 Scheduled Msg./Day
Unlimited Feeds
Use your Bit.ly
Max / $20 per month
20 Twitter Accounts
12000
Twitter API Calls/Day2000 Scheduled Msg./Day
Unlimited Feeds
Use your Bit.ly
There is a nag to upgrade after 5 days use if of the free version but this will only appear once per login so it isn't too annoying.
My Verdict
In all this is an excellent product, very slick, well designed and thought out. The only things i think are missing is some way of reading the articles in the RSS feed without having to leave the app and a time/date stamp on the items in the RSS feed. It's nice to know at a glance how old the news is.
One of the things that made a huge difference to me was that when I complained about the nags (initially it nagged a LOT) the developer @justinvincent got in touch straight away and made the nags far less annoying by only making them appear once per login.
Another nice touch is that when you use a feature for the first time it shows hints and tips. You can hide these temporarily or permanently as you wish.
This app is a must for power users and news gatherers alike. I even use it myself!
There is also a perk for users (or even non users) by way of a very advanced affiliate scheme so you can get paid for telling others about it!
Try it out free for yourself:

On trial today: Seesmic for Windows
via mashable.com
Seemingly each day a new Twitter client blots out of the stable door to the world of social media nuts, most of which I ignore/disregard/can't be bothered to download. But having had great experiences with Seesmic's Twhirl Twitter app, I've decided to give the new Seesmic for Windows a while - so far it looks good!
I'll continue playing around with it today and share my thoughts in a follow-up post. No direct download link is provided on the official website yet (as you have to sign up) so visit http://d.seesmic.com/swin/setup.exe to grab a copy for yourself.
Also, take a look at my impressions of the Android version at retroid.com "Seesmic: The best Android Twitter client?"
