Yep, more Metro! :) I think I need to add a Metro category…

MetroTwit

MetroTwit

MetroTwit is an elegant Twitter client that follows the Metro guidlines. It is easily customizable to your color tastes (light/dark + highlight color). Configuration is as simple as it can be seeing how it has to use the Twitter Authentication API. You can add or remove columns to follow specific users or hashtags as well as your main Twitter feed. The buttons all have simple iconography to represent their function, but in case you get confused, hovering over the button displays a textual representation.

If you use Twitter, this is the desktop client I recommend. Download it from the MetroTwit website.

MetroTwit Show

MetroTwit Show

MetroTwit Show is a recent addition to MetroTwit’s offerings. This program also follows the Metro guidlines but rather than showing your Twitter Feed it displays Twitter searches. You can configure many searches and set how long you want each topic to be displayed. It will flip through the most recent tweets about the topic you searched for until the time you set is reached and then it flips over to the next topic. You’ll get the most out of this program in fullscreen mode and the only real applications I can think of would be to display recent tweets about your product at a trade show or tweets about your company in your office. However, if you can think of any other applications for this software, speak up in the comments!

Even if you don’t think you’ll use it, go ahead and download it, the animations are cool if nothing else. ;) Download it from the MetroTwit Show page.
