Thanks so much to Graphics Point Engineering LLC for writing an amazing Windows app for watching TWiT Live. You can choose from the Bit Gravity, Ustream, and Stickam feeds, chat in the IRC or Ustream chat rooms, visit other TWiT sites, and even listen to Geoff Smith’s anthemic “I’m A TWiT” song.

Download a copy for any version of Windows here.
For Peter Elst’s Adobe AIR app that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, read on!

The great Peter Elst has done it again.
The TWiT Live Desktop 2.0 is out. It’s written in Adobe AIR so it will work on Windows or OS X…
If you don’t have AIR already installed the installer will download and install it first, then install the app.
A couple of things you need to know about using it. Double-click on the video to go full-screen. Right-click (or control-click) on the window to get the pop-up menu. From there you can open the Interactive window which has links to chat, the Army, the calendar, and more.

A really nice, minimum screen real estate, maximum functionality app from Peter. Thanks!!!!
