MicroMonitor is a microblog monitoring tool for Twitter. Others, such as Facebook will be added in the future. It is a lightweight application that resides in your system tray and and displays updates in a balloon tip window as it finds updated statuses for the microblogs you are following. It also allows you to update your microblog by right clicking the tray icon. The C# source code is also a great example of REST based reads/writes and Twitter REST based API interaction. Other aspects it uses are XPath, LINQ and Unit Tests. Please send any bugs you may find to tensailabs at tensailabs.com. Download it here!
