Mrinal convinced Vineet and I to become Twitter-ers at the recent Barcamp we'd attended.

Mrinal also told me that twhirl was the best Twitter client around.  I did try using Witty and it seems to be a little buggy at the moment.  I have since decided that the world needs a better WPF Twitter client and intend to write one when I find time.  In the meanwhile, it is actually quite painful to use twitter.com itself to keep track of all the people I am trying to follow on Twitter.

So I gave in and decided to also give twhirl a try (and in the process also see what things a twitter client should have). Now, twhirl needs Adobe AIR runtime to be installed and the integrated installer started off from the twhirl homepage.

It downloads it and then gives me an error that says:

I know Adobe AIR isn't very good with external devices, but then I do have a hard disk available! :)  Time to go the manual install route I guess.
