bTT: Another FriendFeed Twitter client

Although bTT is not an Adobe AIR program, its interface actually looks very similar to Adobe AIR programs, as if it were made with Flash. However, unlike the commonly used twhirl, bTT places FriendFeed and Twitter messages in the same window, distinguishing them by different background colors instead of splitting them into two separate windows. This has both advantages and disadvantages, which you can weigh for yourself. In terms of functionality, it slightly lags behind the more mature twhirl, with fewer customization settings and options, and only two skin choices: black and white. However, its resource consumption is lower than that of twhirl. For images in FriendFeed, you can directly view them and see larger versions within the client. Finally, it's worth noting that installing bTT requires .NET Framework 3.5 support. If your computer lacks this framework, bTT will first download and install it during setup.
