In fact, if Buzzbird is missing a feature that you want, and you know Javascript and/or CSS and/or XML, then you can even feel free to add it yourself! If you want to run Buzzbird, you install Buzzbird. That’s it. No bulky third-party runtimes to update and maintain. Buzzbird is built on Mozilla’s XUL platform, the same technology that is used in the Firefox Web Browser, Thunderbird E-mail client, and Songbird Media Player, which means Buzzbird can be multi-platform and still run natively. Buzzbird is built for Mac OSX and Linux. And because it’s not built with a third-party runtime, it won’t look like a foreign invader-from-another-OS on your desktop.
