Peter,
Your posting this was most useful since nobody else has
mentioned it and I haven't managed to get on Twitter
(where I may have found out) for a while.
Thanks! Sounds good!

Subject: [access-uk] New version of McTwit
Personally I have absolutely no interest in the social
networking sightTwitter, but I kknow there are people on
this list
who are, so you might find the following of interest.
McTwit
October 15, 2009
McTwit is a free, open source client for Twitter -- the
second-most popular networking site after Facebook.
McTwit works on almost any version of Windows, including
64-bit versions and the new Windows 7. The text-based
nature of Twitter and its open programming interface has
enabled McTwit to become a full-featured client that is
keyboard and screen reader-friendly. An executable
installer is available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/mtsetup.exe
A zip archive that may be extracted onto portable media
is available at http://EmpowermentZone.com/mtsetup.zip
McTwit now has a greatly expanded Utilities menu. It
offers handy ways of getting useful information, which
is obtained mostly from
third-party web services rather than from twitter.com,
itself. Most are still directly Twitter-related, though
a few are general-purpose conveniences. The new
utilities are as follows:
Common URLs - Show a list of the 100 most commonly
referenced URLs on Twitter at the time. These typically
point to news stories that people have been retweeting.
Driving Directions - Input a starting and ending
location, and get a list of steps to get there by car (a
blind person might share
this with a friend or cab driver). The location may be
specified as
a street address in any country.
Feed Find - Get a list of RSS and ATOM feeds made
available by a web site, e.g., by pointing to a URL in a
tweet. A hotkey then lets you open a feed at the cursor
position.
Hash Tag Lookup - Get definitions of hash tags (a word
preceded by the # symbol). People on Twitter use these
to annotate messages for easier categorizing and
searching.
Language Translation - Translate a tweet in another
language, or any text you specify, between about 100
different languages. You
can quickly understand what a foreign phrase means or
how to write it. Members of Congress - Get a list of
House and Senate
members for a zip code, with various data about them
including committee assignments and contact information,
including Twitter screen name if available. Neighborhood
Search - Search for places near a location,
e.g., restaurants with a particular cuisine near an
address you are visiting (anywhere in the world).
Original URL - Get the original version of a URL that was
shortened for sharing in a tweet.
People Search - Search for people on Twitter, e.g., an
old classmate to reconnect with.
Short URL - Get a shortened version of a URL so you can
share it in a tweet and have more text to type within
the 140 character limit. Trend Topics - Get a list of
topics that are currently
popular on Twitter. User Stats - Get a variety of
statistics about a user, e.g., average tweets per day
and hash tags used, in order to help you decide whether
to follow him or her on Twitter.
Weather Check - Get a summary of current and forecasted
conditions for any location.
