opensource/freeware.
?? JUST UPDATED to new changes to Twitter. Now more stable/reliable
and Autoclears Twitter-caches on exit to conserve disk space.

OK, so this isn't old - it is a bit of help for PPC users - HERE and
NOW. The New Twitter API (2013) has been rough on older Macs.
So this is an AppleScript launcher for WebDesktop that logs
automatically into twitter.com and sets it as a fully-functional
Twitter-wallpaper on your desktop! A bit of a hack, but a good one ;0)
Your Icons float above it and you can even touch the desktop like
normal, without switching apps. But with a quick Command+TAB, you can
be Tweeting, Re-Tweeting, Scrolling up and down and managing your
Twitter account.
The interface updates every 5 minutes (adjustable). Toggle launching
(click once to activate, and second time to deactivate).
Installation is very simple. Just open in AppleScript editor, save
your login info and you are good to go! Also, includes a delay
adjustment for older Macs/slower connections (Info in the Read Me).
** NOTE: Some have worried somewhat about older WebKit browsers and
security, but WebDesktop does not store cookies, bookmarks or
preferences, so should be relatively secure (especially, if you only
use it in connection with Twitter, as instructed).
Compatibility
Architecture: PPC
OSX 10.4/10.5 - Dual CPU G4s/G5s recommended.
