Use Twitter so much that refreshing the page or waiting for your app to update is just too slow? Try Streamie, a new Twitter web client that taps into Twitter’s real time API to show you new updates instantly. While we wait for new Twitter (which doesn’t feature realtime updating), Streamie might just be our new favourite Twitter web client.

As well as showing realtime Twitter updates, you can get at your @replies, direct messages, retweets and favourites. Streamie also lets you use the official retweet function and fling out old school edited retweets. If you want realtime updates in a desktop app rather than the browser try the Tweetdeck User Stream preview – warning: it will give you a headache.
