Lightweight in that it has a clean interface and does what it’s intended to. I’ll concede that Adobe AIR isn’t the lightest weight of platforms…

Put down the crack pipe and back away.

While cool, Twirl is not “lightweight”. Twirl requires Adobe Air, as you mention.

Adobe Air is a bloated piece of software and a hog.

This is an example of a lightweight Twitter client. It runs on REBOL, which is 650Kb, that’s right KILOBYTES, not 10s of MEGABYTES that is Adobe Air.

The client code most likely is under 100Kb.

Personally, I use DestroyTwitter 95% of the time. (with web and HootSuite being the remainder)

I tried TweetDeck briefly, but never got into it. I like the simplicity of Twhirl. It works for my purposes, so I haven't felt the need to switch.
