Positive thinking in action... A few weeks ago I scoured the web in search for a good web client for Twitter. Today enter, or rather navigate to, TwitHive.
The overall TwitHive experience is similar to TweetDeck, only better in a few respects.
It's a web application. Whatever you setup on one machine is readily available when you log in from another.
It supports multiple accounts. This is very important for anyone who's running a business and tweets from both personal and business account. Very neat.
I was very happy to find that the application properly displays the people I follow. That's in contrast to TweetDeck and native Twitter web client, both of which annoyingly show tweets from people that I no longer follow.
Groups can be created as needed. However, due to the clean "followee" list, I found that I didn't need to resort to groups and can enjoy the full stream.
Search functionality is on par with TweetDeck for my usage.
I liked the idea of channels as a way of organizing your Twitter usage. A channel can represent a tweet stream, a group, direct messages for a particular account, or live search results.
TwitHive currently doesn't seem to have notifications. I'm still contemplating whether it's good or bad.
The only feature that I miss is the ability to somehow hide read tweets. Hopefully it will be added in due time.
Somehow the post grew into a little review of a very nice service. I wish someone would do that for my application ;-)
Have a look at it and see for yourself.
