http://br.st is a web based twitter client, for using social networking website "Twitter". This web based twitter client has following features that makes it very userfriendly:

* Auto-shorten Links - It reduces the length of the web links and hence saves the number of characters used. Also it keeps track of number of times a weblink is clicked.

* Automatic short link expanding - Expands the shorts links in the tweet

* Open Conversations -Click on @Mentions and select "open conversation". Very useful tool to interact with a specific tweep.

* Inline preview of images - Shows the screeshot of image sent from Br.st, Twitpic, yFrog, Pic.im, Pikchur, Tweetphoto, Pic.gd, Twitgoo, and Picktor.

* Watch video inline - You can watch the video links sent via tweet on the same page.

* Tweet files and images - Attach files and images(upto 10MB in size) with you tweet message.

* Real-time stats - Its a nice feature and give details like eg. how many people clicked on your files and pics you uploaded.

* Text shortening tool (found only at br.st) - This tool automatically reduces the number of characters of many words.

Eg:- New York yankees win the 2009 world series! Way to go guys - You Earned it!!!

NY yankees win the 2009 world cup series! Way 2 go guys - U Earned it!!!

* Auto-Refresh - Its a new feature that was recently added. Your timeline and searches will now show how many new tweets have been since your last refresh that you can click to refresh.  This is just like the way that Twitter.com works.  They will be adding this to Lists in the next several weeks.




* Upgraded User Pop-up - When you click on a user’s name in a tweet a pop-up shows you all kinds of info about them.  With this release the pop-up was made more efficient (meaning it should load quicker).  And you can now click on the avatar pic and any @ user name in a tweet to get this pop-up.  In this pop-up you can now also follow, unfollow or mention that person. And the popup now shows br.st specific info like images and files they have recently uploaded.

* Auto-Focus to Tweet-box - When you click Reply or ReTweet  the cursor  auto focuses to the tweetbox and you can just start typing.

* Faster Updating Top-right Bar Stats - You might also notice that each time you post a tweet – your stats (Following, Followers, etc) on the top right get updated.
