If you don’t have the necessary HTML chops, you can still customise it by changing the background, which is definitely a nice touch. It supports HTML5 and CSS3 too, so it’s definitely looking toward the future. The thing that really sets Janetter apart from the competition at this stage is how customisable the layout is: it’s built on Chromium (Windows version only, I haven’t tried the Mac version) and comes with 27 designs that you can use or, if you’ve got the necessary HTML and CSS skills, you can create your own.

Apparently the developers are working on getting Facebook integrated into it too, but there’s no mention of LinkedIn, Tumblr or Google + (which will cause tears from literally no one), but right now Janetter is an example of doing one thing and doing it well.

While some Twitter clients try to get everything in there, allowing you to manage all your social networks at once, Janetter only does Twitter. Today, I’m going to write a quick review of it, what I like about it and the things that it can do to stop me moving onto something else in a few months.
Janetter twitter account update#
Tweetdeck screwed the pooch with their latest update (have you tried it lately? Yuck!), Seesmic was my favourite for a while and then it broke, so now I’m on Janetter. It’s been a while since I wrote my Hootsuite vs Tweetdeck post, where I crowned Tweetdeck the king of desktop apps, and a lot’s changed since then. I’m really bad at it – they always start out great and then an update will remove something I like or put it in a stupid place, or they’ll just stop working and I end up looking for something new.

As you’ve probably noticed if you’ve been following the blog or my Twitter account, I struggle with sticking to one social media client for more than about five minutes.
