When you login you’ll see three columns: home, direct messages and mentions. For each tweet you can reply, add to favorites, send a direct message and retweet (with or without a comment). The columns do auto-refresh, but there is also a refresh button at the top of the page if you’d like to manually refresh. How often the columns refresh can be customized in the settings.
Clicking on a users’ avatar image will show a small window with their latest tweets, along with how many people they’re following, how many followers they have and how many tweets they’ve sent out.
Replies and updates can be posted via the tweet box above the columns. There is also an integrated URL shortener. To use, click on the “URL shortener” link and enter the URL that you want to shorten and click the “add” button. The short URL will then automatically be inserted into the tweet box.
The navigation bar is located on the left side of the page. There is a search box at the top for searching through Twitter. Results are shown in a new column, like with all the other options in the menu. Other options in the navigation menu include retweeted by me, retweeted to me, favorites, people you follow, your followers, trends and a shameless plug button for Multwiple.
Lastly, there there is a “plus” button that you can click that lets you add other Twitter accounts. When you add a new account, a whole new tab will be created for it. You can then go back and forth between accounts by clicking on the corresponding tab. If you need to delete an account, this can be done in the settings.
Multwiple is said to take its inspiration from Seesmic and Echofon, which is definitely evident. Thought it doesn’t offer a ton of features, it’s great for those looking for simplicity and an easy to user interface.
