How do you use Twitter in OS X?

How do you use Twitter in OS X?
Iʻve set my OS X System Preferences / Internet Accounts to have my current account.
When I use Twitter in Safari, I get "VIEW [thousands] of new tweets", and it dynamically updates. Terrible to use.
Itʻs annoying because sometimes I want to have music play from the Mac, and not have VoiceOver talk over it (I know, I need to get a BT headset to hear VO just "in my head").
Or is there a better way? Some other app?

I've been using Easy Chirp ever since I got my Mac, and even before that. It is web-based, and works great both on Windows and Mac OS. The website is http://www.easychirp.com . I haven't tried out any of the Mac-based Twitter clients, but perhaps I will someday. But what I like about Easy Chirp is that it is free, and totally accessible. The lead developer is Dennis Lembree, and he is very responsive. He recently teamed up with another guy.

Night owl works well and it can be found in the app store.
