mctwit is great but wish their was a way for it to sit in the system tray so
you wouldn't always have to open it up and i couldn't get the other program
to work for me so went with mctwit.

I'll have to give qwitter a go, this is the first I have heard of it. I
wanted to try mctwit, but had a hard time getting it to load and work on
my
system. It would say loading, but then nothing would happen, no window
would open and none of the hotkeys would work.
