I started using Twitter about a month ago. Twitter is very accessible, both with the main Twitter web site and with Syrinx. Yes, when you get new tweets, you will hear a sound effect which is nice because it's not too obnoxious but just loud enough. I really like Syrinx very much and use it all the time. Here are a few of my favorite keyboard shortcuts that might also help you: Command-B bookmarks the newest tweet so that when you go back into Syrinx, you will start with the newest stuff, and you would arrow up, not down to go through your newest things. Command-shift-l opens a link associated with the tweet you are on. Remember that sometimes, a Safari window will open with the web site, but Syrinx will not automatically put the focus there, so you'll have to command-tab over to Safari to see the web site. Command-shift-u shortens a link. Just select the URL you want to shorten and press command-shift-u. Command-n gives you a new search window where you can type in whatever you're interested in and it will bring up a list of relevant tweets on that subject. Command-shift-R replies to a tweet, already filling in the at sign and username of the person to whom you are replying. Command-1 updates. Command-2 go to bookmark. Command-shift-r replies. Command-shift-p goes to the user profile of the person whose tweet you are on. Command-shift-d starts a direct message. Command-shift-t retweets. the tweet you are currently on Command-control-u unfollows a user whose tweet you are on. Command-control-u unfollows a user whose tweet you are on. And there are others, but you can just poke around in the menus and find them.
Hope this helps and happy tweeting.
