Uh ... "market" implies that people will actually *pay* for something. I haven't found that to be the case for command line tools. ;-) Don't know about OS 9, though - last time I was "asked" to use one of those (summer 2004), I politely declined and did everything on my dual-booted Windows XP / Linux laptop. ;-) But that does raise an interesting question - I'm not overly impressed with any of the open-source GUI Twitter clients, and I won't run an AIR application on my Linux desktop - AIR is a resource hog (and closed). So I stick with web-based clients like the Twitter home page, HootSuite or CoTweet. Is there any energy out there for a *really good* open source Twitter GUI client that would run on Linux, Mac and Windows? And the congratulations belong to *both* Loren and Twitter! ;-) -- M.
