tweetboard

tweetboard is a modern-looking application that allows you to read your Twitter feed in a comfortable manner.

Adopting the appearance of the Metro UI, the application displays a simple, yet elegant interface that integrates perfectly with a Windows 8 or 8.1 computer. Configuring it should be done in a matter of seconds, since all you have to do is allow it to access your Twitter account by entering the security code into a form displayed within the main window.

tweetboard displays the latest tweets posted on your account's page, alongside the time they were published. Unfortunately, there is no option to copy the link to your clipboard or to open it using a web browser. In order to do so, you will have to access your Twitter account using a navigator.

The Twitter feed is automatically updated and you can view the most recent items as they are posted online.

One useful function is the small gadget that is displayed once you choose to resize the window using the dedicated option in its lower right corner. This way, you can view the last post on Twitter without occupying too much desktop space.

tweetboard is a handy tool for those who use Twitter on a daily basis and don't want to use an Internet navigator to browse their account.

However, it does require some improvements that could make it a bit more practical. For instance, adding it copy-paste support and account management options.
