Twimbow: Colour Code Your Tweets
Enter the newest Twitter client, Twimbow. Twimbow places their focus on filtering and colours. For some of us out there, Twitter is the new email, and Twimbow realizes that. It looks very much like Tweetdeck or Seesmic but does not yet support multiple accounts. What Twimbow does have in its favour is its ability to customize with colour.

When I looked at these retweets, I found that the person who had done this had also piggy-backed his own URL onto the tweet.
