brizzly is the best twitter web client to date
Most people use either the twitter web page or local software such as TweetDeck when using twitter. But the best twitter web client is called brizzly.
The reason is its speed, features, and yes, keyboard shortcuts. brizzly allows a variety of channels, simultaneous twitter accounts, and an easy way to attach photos or multimedia. It even has a mute button for someone you’re following when they’re updating constantly — such as a sportswriter at a game or someone at a conference. You can hide their tweets for a while until the the game is over. I also love the wide format view, which puts a lot of tweets on the page. URL shortening is done automatically using bit.ly if the URL is longer than 20 characters, but yet readers can still see the source before clicking.
Best of all is brizzly’s keyboard shortcuts, which makes it fly. They’re really simple.
- j – move to next item
- k – move back to previous item
- v – open link
- h – return home (top of the screen)
- c – compose
- r – refresh
- / – search
- ? – list of keyboard shortcuts
Not to many to forget, but enough to get around and get things done. brizzly is the kind of webware we need more of. I was enjoying TwitIQ, which is similar to brizzly, but they recently changed their UI for the worst.
