Interview with NetNewsWire developer, Brent Simmons
NetNewsWire is the most popular newsreader client on the Mac.
Things got even better when NNW incorporated syncing with Google Reader. And then came NNW for the iPhone.
Seth Weintraub asks Brent Simmons about the recent changes in the application, how he plans on integrating social services like Twitter and where development is heading.

On how many copies of NNW v3 are out there:
I kind of have to forget about how popular it is most of the time or I'd be paralyzed knowing that I can't possibly please that many people. So I tend to think of it as relatively intimate: me and 100 friends.

This is exactly why TweetDeck just doesn't cut it for me
Am I the only nerd who doesn't own superfast computers?

Fastest Twitter (Desktop) App for Old Computers
My needs are simple. If an application/program doesn't cause my 4.5-year-old iBook G4 to lag, I'm thankful.
Tweetdeck is often cited as the best desktop Twitter app. Unfortunately it takes up way too much memory for my old machine.
DestroyTwitter, on the other hand:
I've been using DT since April 2009 for my business' Twitter account, and it is nothing short of wonderful.
My all-time favourite is the "Exclude" feature. DT had this long before Twitter lists rolled out. It helps me block out some of the noise (or rather, noisier tweeters) yet still appear to be "following" back my followers. It only blocks out their tweet stream; you will still be able to receive @ replies and DMs from the people you've excluded.
Another favourite is being able to select my preferred URL shortening & picture upload services; the list is not exhaustive but it needn't be.
If you haven't already, give DestroyTwitter a whirl and let me know what you think.

DestroyTwitter, on the other hand:
..uses a minimal amount of memory compared to its AIR-based alternatives without sacrificing functionality and performance. As a result, it can easily run in the background as an automated process.The only drawback is that it doesn't (yet) support multiple accounts.
