TwitHive.com - A New Twitter Web Client

TwitHive is a new Twitter client. It has two features that give it some oomph. To begin with it is completely browser-hosted, effectively letting you tweet from anywhere an Internet connection is available. In second place, you can sign in using OAuth so that you do not have to disclose your particulars to any third party. I know quite a handful of people that are always a bit gunshy to disclose information of that kind, so that is always a spot-on feature.

When it comes to the actual operative of the client, it gives you the option to create multiple channels so as to monitor Twitter throughout different accounts, whereas you can also filter tweets in several manners. Retweets, keywords and groups are the ones that easily spring to mind. In addition to that, TwitHive will empower you to track keyword mentions and integrate Google News with blog search in order to always catch the latest buzz.

This is quite a compelling set of features. If you need to tweet when you are away from your desktop and wish to keep your privacy to yourself, this might as well do the trick.

“Monitor and Interact with the Twitter Hive Mind.”

As a Twitter client, it has two clear advantages: it is wholly web-based and it requires no information to be disclosed. That alone gives it an appeal of its own.

Is this client only available in a browser-based incarnation?
