If you are a
Mac user, you can run Splitweet as an
application using Fluid.app. It won't take you more than
2 minutes to configure it, and you'll always have your tweets at
hand. With Fluid you can have any website configured as an
independent application.
To make it work you only need to download Fluid.app, run it and fill the form as shown in the picture:
If you use a different language other than english, put the subdomain in the address for a quicker access. For instance, http://es.splitweet.com if you want Splitweet in Spanish. You can use our ninja as the icon to make it look better (Save this image in your desktop):
And that's all!
If you are a Windows user or Linux user:
There are 2 options: You can do the same using Chrome (win only), but I haven't tested it yet. As a second option, a Splitweet user, Soroush, has reported that Mozilla Prism is doing the same, you can read that in his blog. Download and share your experience to others!

Hey, I can see the Splitweet icon I created for Fluid in the screenshot! :-)
I said it on Twitter, I'll just add it here as well: I use Mozilla Prism on Ubuntu Linux to use Splitweet as a standalone app. Works very well! You can even add the icon to it!
I think Prism should work on Windows too. For Mac, I use Fluid!
Installers can be found at < https://wiki.mozilla.org/Prism#Installs >. I think it's available in the Ubuntu repository as well.
Thanks for your work guys!
Hi guys - I can get the splitweet to launch within the fluid environment, but when I click on a link it pops open a Firefox browser and loads the resulting page in there - which kinda defeats the purpose. Is this how it is supposed to behave?
Hi Chad, look a this: http://getsatisfaction.com/fluid/topics/fluid_apps_open_new_windows_in_default_browser_rather_than_the_ssb
It's happening to me as well. When a link points out splitweet, my Safari is opened. I am downloadin and try with Prism. It's available for Mac too
I'm testing Splitweet on mac osx, and prism and it works without problems. Thanks guys!
Where is the Linux version?
Hey Jo,
Good to see the business has been such a CRUNCHING success. Congratulations!
I can sincerely vouch that, in the 14 days I have been promoting splitweet, my FOLLOWERS have increased EXPONENTIALLY from practically Zer0 to 10,137. In fact, I have made so many new accounts to keep up with affiliate requirements - you see, I offer them 1,000 free followers for each affiliate account - and that has enticed more than O_0 !
Again, would love to say thanks to you and the guys over there, keep it rolling on and spin out those tweep.

How about Windows ME?
Thank you!
Splitweet is focused on Twitter only.
