Quitter, a Twitter client disguised as Windows Command Prompt

Remember SpreadTweet, the Twitter client that looks like you are using an Microsoft Excel sheet? Isn’t that great to use Twitter at work on the sly? Quitter is another such Twitter client made for working people and particularly those who often use the Windows Command Prompt at work (network admins?).

Well, Quitter looks exactly like the Command Prompt. It’s a single executable file (105KB) that requires no installation and stores its settings in a small XML file. For navigating around the application you use the arrow keys, just like the real Command Prompt, and the program makes use of keys like Enter and Escape as well to execute functions.

Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website.
