Twitulater is a Twitter client that splits tweets into categories in order to reduce information overload on power users.

Features:

• split tweet stream into 10 basic categories
• hashtags are automatically recognized and categories created on the fly
• multi-user interface
• tweets link when replied to
• retweet, @reply and DM commands

The Good:

Twitulater makes use of the Adobe AIR platform, and has the ability to allow for filtering and categorization of tweets from multiple Twitter accounts. This is a huge benefit to power users, and this application could compete hard with the very popular TweetDeck.

The Not-so-Good:

Twitulater is still in uber-beta, having only been “hatched” as an idea in November 2008. It has gone through eight iterations since then, with noticeable improvement with each release. The graphics of the interface are not pretty right now, but the developer will tell anyone who cares to listen that this is a priority. So, development is ongoing, and this very promising application will only get better and better.
