Chirp is a full twitter client Mac Dashboard Widget. this is the second version and while the first was more of a simple way to read your tweets, chirp 2.0 is also a simple way to post and reply. a good solution for those looking for a good Twitter Widget for the Mac.
The changes are many and quite radical from version 1.0:
Version 2.0 is a major update, bringing many welcome improvements to the original Chirp:

- 2.-Added alerts to warn of problems with Twitter.
- 3.-Faster downloading of tweets.
- 4.-Smaller file size.
- 5.-New source parameter (displays "from Chirp").
- 6.-No longer allows posting or viewing of updates if the username and password are not entered.
- 7.-Automatically prompts for username and password if not entered.
- 8.-Updates exceeding 140 characters are automatically truncated before posting.
- 9.-Fixed a bug with messages containing "&" being truncated by Twitter.
- 10.-Displays the poster’s full name instead of @ Screen Name for each tweet (the @ Screen Name can still be seen by hovering the cursor over the poster’s picon).
- 11.-Hovering the mouse over a user’s full name displays their followers count.
- Color schemes re-branded with Chirp logo.
