Affirma Consulting developed this library and example code with Amazon Web Services, in an effort to simplify and empower the use of Amazon S3 in a .NET client environment. We decided together that hosting the code on CodePlex would be the best way to share the library and get community involvement on its future development.
Project Description
An advanced C# library for interfacing with the Amazon S3 system. Among its powerful features are:
- Full support for data streaming. No need to load data into memory before sending to S3.
- Data encryption.
- Thread safety and live statistics. Perform multiple simultaneous uploads and downloads and show progress in real-time.
- A powerful, unified object model that simplifies maintenance and extensions.

This is MahTweets 2. Gone are the days of awesome jabber support from Twitter, so until that returns, this will be the best there is!
Truth is, I was frustrated at AIR clients (slow resource hogs), and the other native/WPF apps all had potential, but each had their own problems (ie, not being resizable, not having a working clear button, being waaaaay too crash-prone, etc). And thus, MahTweets was reborn.
Nearly everything is rewritten (although some of it was so awesome the first time around we just couldn't get rid of it), but many more features have been added, like inline media (youtube or images from twitpic, flickr, direct linking, etc).
