Search Charm – this charm helps you search for content on Twitter even though you’re using another app. It works much like the aforementioned Share Charm; it shows up when swiping from the right edge of Windows.
Live Tiles and Notifications – as they show up no matter what app you’re using, these will help you stay on top of what’s happening on Twitter.
The Twitter for Windows 8 app is available in 22 languages: English, Danish, German, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan).
