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 [...]
Tweeting dupes
Twitter had the problem, that when you tweeted a post accidentally twice, it showed also up in the timeline twice. That was a little bit nerving, but you always have the possibility to delete your published tweets. This will disappear in the timeline. Another side effect of deletion is, that this single tweet is no more [...]
New Eventbox coming up soon

Nearby twitterers
