DESIGN FETISH: Helvetwitter

Josef Richter’s Helvetwitter applies the same stripped-down approach as Jon Hicks’ Helvetireader for Google Reader and Ad Taylor’s Helvetical extension for Google Calendar. As someone who is rather active on the service, I have to admit it takes a little getting used to, but I soon found myself enjoying the fact that Twitter was no longer a barrage of things to click on (a problem that most clients seem to exacerbate) but had become a stream of content from the people I wanted to follow.

(My only wish is for a link to @mentions, but I can understand why it’s not there.)
