As some of you might now I have started using Twitter for some time now and writing tweets since a view weeks now (http://twitter.com/goertsch). As most of the people I know I am not using the twitter website directly, further more I am using TweetDeck at the moment because it is the best application I found until now. On the other hand I gave the new friendfeed interface a try for the last two days. The new beta of friendfeed is very interesting because all components are updating in real time. This gave you the impression like you have a chat window open where all the different information is pooping in from the different services.

I really like the live messages and are following them them very often, especial at conferences e.g. the EclipseCon I visited a view days ago the medium is very useful. On the other hand I don’t have the time to follow the live messages all the day and special because I am living in Europe I miss moste of the messages in real time. This is really an issue because all clients I know are focosing on the live updates and fancy dynamic content that is updated nearly the same second the person is hitting the enter button on his keyboard and are not taking care about people who want to be able to read the content in a more ‘offline’ way.

I am looking for a interface that is more like gmail. It should of course support keyboard navigation and give me feedback about information I have already read. I have just downloaded Adobe Air (TweetDec is developed on it) and will try to prototype an application.
