Twhirl is owned by Seesmic, but the company's two desktop apps bear little resemblance to one another. Where Seesmic Desktop's interface is sizeable, Twhirl's is tiny: this small app looks more like an old-school IM client than a social media management tool. But it packs in plenty of features for managing your Twitter account: It automatically shortens posted URLs, notifies you of incoming messages, lets you search tweets, and allows you to record and share videos using Seesmic Video.
