It does look almost like the original website, but has some nice features the original should ever have:

  • multiple accounts
  • auto refresh with countdown and caching
  • API limit counter
  • view followers by reciprocals, new followers and quitters
  • integration of twitter counter statistics
  • picture upload, URL shortener
  • spell checker

It is still in beta state, but if you want an invite, just leave a comment on this post.

Here is a picture how it looks like when logged in:

Not every time I have a graphics program open, but I quickly want to pick the color code.

Digital Color meter

With OS X comes a handy tiny helper called DigitalColor Meter. You will find that in /Applications/Utilities/. You simply can set the wanted text output format and use Command+Shift+C to get the value into the Clipboard. The settings are autosaved, so on the next start you can continue as you are used to.
