thirteen23's blu twitter clientOne of my favorite things about Mac OSX are the stylish applications it has.  Applications like Twitterific, NewsFire, Blogo and even Colloquy are all shining examples of beautiful programs that I love to use.  However today I'm not talking about a Mac app, I'm talking about a really cool Windows Twitter client called Blu.  The only caveat is that Blu is so pretty that you might mistake it for an OSX app at first glance.

Blu has a nice translucent blue user interface that's pretty intuitive.  Want to shorten a URL?  All you have to do is paste it into the update box and it's automatically done for you.  Not sure how many characters you have left?  Blu counts down the characters as you type behind the update box.  It has separate panes for your direct messages and @ replies.  Even the login screen is impressive, and if you save your login info you get a slick little animation of your details being entered into the fields when Blu starts up.  Add to that the dulcet piano tones you hear whenever a new tweet comes in and you have a neat little package.

I have to say that on Windows this is my absolute favorite Twitter client.  As long as you have the .NET 3.5 framework installed I see no reason to use anything else.  In case you're wondering I generally use Twhirl when I'm working in OSX.  Also, I can't take credit for discovering Blu personally as it wasn't until my buddy @Eddie_Bell started using it that I tried it out for myself.  So, what Twitter client do you use?  If you're interested, you can find Blu at the link below.
