Out of all Twitters, 11% are sent using an Adobe AIR application. Out of all Twitters sent from an application (not sent from the Twitter website), 19% are sent using an AIR app. Considering that 44% of all Twits are sent from their site, I think that’s a pretty cool number.

Tweetdeck is currently taking the lead in Twitter AIR apps followed by Twhirl. But there’s a new kid on the block: DestroyTwitter.

DestroyTwitter from DestroyToday (who you may know from DestroyFlickr fame) has got to be the sexiest Twitter client to date and it has rapidly become my favorite Twitter app. The uncluttered minimalist interface and smooth transitions got me hooked from the first moment I laid eyes on this app.

It currently has all the features you expect from a Twitter app but Jonnie Hallman, DestroyToday’s founder, has already announced many more unique features on his blog and I can’t wait for the new version to be released. He already added a couple of feature requests and is keen to listen to your input/requests as well.

 

James Whittaker from RefreshingApps.com has an in depth review of the application but why not give it a spin yourself?

Go ahead and download it from the DestroyToday website.

    I’m really surprise by the number of people that tweet from the twitter website – i don’t think i’ve ever done it from there, I rarely visit it.

    I wasn’t aware of TweetDeck. It seems like it’s going to be the perfect fit for my Twittering from my Mac. I was using a combination of on-site and email, but this seems simpler. To be honest, I’ve been wanting to try one of the new AIR apps. Besides TweetDeck, can anyone recommend any additional “best-of” AIR apps?

    > Out of all Twitters,

    Did you mean out of all tweets on twitter ?

    Yes. That is correct. It’s probably higher now.
