Lightweight Twitter client for Windows on netbook/ultrabook?

Is there any decent Twitter client for available that does work well on a small display? I have a Macbook Air 11" running Windows 7 and used to use the Seesmic Desktop twitter client (the 1st version, written in Adobe Air). It served me well but is not actively developed anymore, and since the recent API changes from Twitter it doesn't work that well.

I tried stuff like Tweetdeck and MetroTwit, but their windows are too frickin' large for my taste. I prefer something lightweight.

Have you tried Pokki? www.addictivetips.com­/windows­-tips­/pin­-web­-apps­-to... It has worked nicely for me, and includes integration with Facebook/Gmail/etc. I am not sure about the "lightweight" factor, as I think it uses Microsoft's Presentation/Silverlight Platform.

Also, if you often keep your browser open like I do, there are plenty of extensions for each browser for Twitter integration. I for example use Chromed Bird for Chrome. Works great. https:­/­/chrome.google.com­/webstore­/detail­/encaiilj...

Wow thanks! I've never heard of Pokki before, but it is really nice!
I hope there will be more Pokki apps in the future.
