Can you guess what this is? (Click for more.)
That is Task Manager running on a Windows box with 256 cores. Not quite the thing we're likely to see very often. At least not for some time.

TweetDeck has been bad to me the last three days: I've had to force quit it four times for reasons unknown.
I'm looking at Spaz now, an Open Source Adobe Air-based client (Mac, Linux, Windows) which, at first glance, looks and feels right for me. Its Dock icon sucks, but I like its Growl-like notifications.
