    Tweeps, meet digiTweet!

    For all you tweeps out there, this is a quick plug for the newest Twitter client on the block, digiTweet. I was first alerted to this new client on Channel 10, and just started using it with my account. I must say I am very pleased. For a beta product, this one gets two thumbs up! It’s built with WPF and is open source (you can find it on CodePlex). I also happen to like the sleek interface. Being a .NET guy, I’m partial to apps that are build with .NET (the Twitter client I’ve been using, TweetDeck, was built with Adobe...
