might want a look.

"Best Community Application, HTML
Spaz.AIR

Developed by Ed Finkler

Spaz is a desktop client for Twitter: the "global community of friends
and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing?" 

Ed Finkler developed Spaz.AIR (aka Spaz) using HTML and JavaScript
along with the Spry and jQuery JavaScript frameworks. "I have 12
years' experience designing for the web, so the idea of using HTML and
JavaScript to develop a desktop application was very appealing to me,"
said Ed.

With Spaz, you get all the functionality of Twitter.com in a desktop
client. Feature highlights include multiple themes, user-defined CSS
overrides, and event sounds using the Tokyo Train Station soundset.
You can also view updates from the community, as well as direct
messages, replies, and the public timeline. Plus, Spaz will
auto-refresh the timeline you are viewing and offers directory
listings of users you're following, and vice versa.

Spaz is available as freeware. Anyone with a Twitter account and Adobe
AIR installed can download and start using it right away."
