• inline @replies (threads)
• excellent graphical displays
• TinyURL integration
• ability to select favorite friends and notification of their tweets

The Good:

blu is a desktop application Twitter client dedicated to Windows Vista users. thirteen23 labs in Austin, Texas developed it (so it must be good!). There are plenty of good features. We liked the ability to view unlimited tweets and the threading of @replies. The graphical display is also quite good, with some interesting features when “hovering”. Customization is also available for settings like opacity and refresh intervals.

The Not-so-Good:

We so wanted to believe that blu would be the perfect Twitter client for Windows Vista, but it’s not perfect. Good, but not perfect. There isn’t a scroll bar, so getting up and down through the unlimited tweets can take a while. There is no search feature, which would have been good. Also, there is no way to see a display of friends/followers. Lastly, there is only support for one Twitter account at a time.
