What every microblogging network needs, including the one you created on Shout’Em, is a desktop application. It makes messaging to your network unbelievably easy. Thankfully, from today you can use the awesome cross platform (Windows, Mac and Linux!) microblogging client – Twhirl. Best of all, it’s completely free.

How to Setup Twhirl for Shout’Em

After you download Twhirl for free, it’s pretty simple to set it up:

• In the main Settings panel, open the Accounts tab;
• Select la.conica under the dropdown list;
• Enter your username in the screen name field in the format ivan@team.shoutem.com, in which ivan is your network username, and team.shoutem.com your network domain. There’s no need to include “http://” with the domain name;
• Click on the plus (+) button to add your network account;
• Select your account and click on Connect;
• You’re done

After setting up Twhirl, it’s going to look something like this:

Bonus: Pimp out Twhirl

If you don’t like the default pastel color scheme of Twhirl, you can change it. Just open the Colors tab in the basic settings and choose a theme. Personally, I think Black Magic is quite elegant.
