Oh thanks people, sounds like there are a few options then. The main reason I'm wanting to either upgrade qwitter or get something else is because with this particular beta I'm using I can't send direct messages. Also with Qwitter not having an actual window on the screen bugs me as I want the option to be able to do things by going into menus or tabbing around rather than just keystrokes - I sometimes forget the keystrokes, some of them are difficult for me with my single handed keyboard and even if I reassign them it is difficult to find keystrokes which don't conflict with other things and which I can remember. Will give these other options a look as well.
