@James, interested to know where Firefox can run that AIR can’t?

Seems like this would have been a good XulRunner project, not AIR or Titanium (who?). At least XulRunner is open source and can run anywhere Firefox can run (in fact firefox -app is basically xulrunner -app with wider distribution).

Does the app really need to have “Unrestricted System Access”?

i’m not a big twitter user but from a technical standpoint this is really cool. i love the usage of javascript rather than flash in an AIR app, mainly because there aren’t many JS based AIR apps.

It seems SOME urls are clickable indeed, but a lot of them aren’t. At least not for me.

@marco – the URLs are clickable, they just look like normal text. Hovering will give you the normal hand cursor and clicking will launch the URL like you’d expect.
