twhirl 0.9 is here with new features

twhirl is my favorite Twitter client. For those who are not aware of this, twhirl is a social software desktop client, based on the Adobe AIR platform.

And, now twhirl has been upgraded with some amazing features:

• spellchecker (currently English only, can be deactivated in settings if you use Twhirl in other languages)
• your Twitter @replies will display even if you are mentioned in the middle of a tweet – don't miss anyone quoting your name
• share all your updates to all your favorite social software via Ping.FM support: Twhirl now posts to Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn and more
• follow any topic in near-realtime: searching for a term or a brand and then activating it as a saved search it will bring all future mentions of it into your timeline
• record a video and post it straight to Twitter, then get your Seesmic video replies and follow the video conversation
• get new Seesmic replies and videos in realtime thanks to XMPP support
• support for bitly url shortnener with stats and history
• support for direct messages and favorites on laconica/identica

Check out the video from the developer of twhirl as he talks about the new features.
