WOW totally cool!

I'd love to see more Windows applications like that

The text is blurry which I find weird for a text-centric application.

I made it crash in under 10 seconds, but it does have exception handling

This is a Silverlight problem (I think this is a SLOOB) that Microsoft need to fix

Thank you for putting together an application that defaults to requiring me to opt in to notification sounds. This is the first time I've seen a sensible default to such a feature. Additionally, the fact that I don't have to wait several annoyingly long seconds for the tooltips to appear on the buttons in this application is a welcome aspect as well. A lot of app developers can learn from this application's non-annoying design.

It could be slightly smoother moving the columns around -- but otherwise, this app appears great.

Thanks. It obviously reminds me of Tweetdeck, but it's not as "in your face" as that application. The notification windows also tend to not appear as much of a disturbance as other applications. I can't wait to see how this application progresses in the future.

The blurry text is indeed strange, considering it is a WPF 4 application. Also, I wonder if this could have been done in Silverlight 4 (and if so, what the motivation was to use WPF instead of Silverlight).

Blurry text was fixed in WPF 4 which this app supposedly uses.

I think they did it because of the task bar integration.

Hi Long, any insight into why the text is blurry?

I'd like to see Live Messenger get the Metro Treatment. Flat fonts, no shadows, looks really nice.

This program / .Net 4 is lame because it require a reboot. A reboot just to install a twitter client ... wow.

Didn't reboot on any of my machines. Maybe you just didn't have .NET 4.0 installed?

Even if that is the case, that is still pretty lame.
