I was wondering if there are people here who know the ins and outs of Twitter reasonably well.

I am asking because I am hoping someone might be able to help me out to find a Twitter plugin/widget I am looking for.

I have Twitter installed on my Blackberry, and get faithfully informad when a Tweet comes in.

I also have a Tweet button on my website, with which I can announce changes/additions/updates to my website.

However, one thing I have not found thus far (maybe I looked in the wrong place), is a Twitter widget or plugin for the PC, which notifies you when you receive a Tweet.

I seem to remember my son had something in the shape of a little bird that flew onto your screen when you had received a Tweet, which is what I am looking for.
It does not have to be the birdie especially, but a little plugin which informs me via the computer when I have a new Tweet.

Has anyone got any idea where I can find one of those and how I install it?

Thank you.

You can use tweetdeck and huitsuite web app for that. It notifies you when you get @message or tweet or tweet from your followers or following list. I think tweetdeck or twhirl is enough for the needs.

Twhirl and twitdeck both notifies and shows icon when update comes. I just don't know if they go to system tray and show update from there. That type of feature will be killer. Anyway, hope either one of these will help you out.
