TweetDeck is a Twitter client with some useful features. It is an Adobe AIR application which supports groups and has different panes to better categorize tweets.
With tweetdeck you can visualize tweets, replies, direct messaged in different panels. This is done using a local database to store tweets and then categorized in separate columns. It also supports Groups, the much needed feature for twitter. You can select a bunch of twitter followers and add them to a group to better categorize tweets.
