Hi David – thanks! Actually, I have used YoruFukuou almost exclusively for quite a while now. (Notice the date on this blog post – it’s from a while ago, and I don’t think YF was around then.) It *is* a great twitter client. Just wish it supported multiple profiles.

You didn’t review it, but you might want to check out the relatively obscure YoruFukurou. It’s free, Native Mac OS X, now supports multiple accounts, and I *think* hits all your points. Let me know what your take on it is. I’ve been using it a while, but have lately been suspecting it of performance issues. (@my1BlueEye)

Tweetie for iphone does all of that already – the destop version hasn't been updated in a while, but it was just bought by Twitter, so I'm sure it will be brought up to speed soon.

Good writeup. I'd like to see an update that includes newer features; namely, support for Twitter lists and the official retweet method. Also, I personally prefer native apps (Tweetie, Twitteriffic, Kiwi) to AIR because they seem to use less memory, so maybe a mention of memory usage for each app would be good too.

One other client I've found is Kiwi: its interface is similar to Tweetie (read: dang nice), and it uses the official retweet method and has inline image previews, image uploading and URL shortening; but its multiple-account handling, and viewing the timelines of and following/unfollowing other users, aren't handled as well as Tweetie.

Seesmic Desktop *does* support posting to Twitter and/or Facebook in the latest version, with a checkbox in the upper left corner next to the user’s profile pic – you can check each service you want to post to.

No ma’am. You can update Facebook and Twitter status in Seesmic, but you cannot update both at the same time, which was what was being compared. I.E. update your Twitter and FB status with one message.
