Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Tweetie for Mac coming soon, teaser video out now
Tweetie has taken the iPhone Twitter client market by storm, and anticipation for the desktop version has been building sometime. The developer, Atebits, is fueling the fire a little bit more with a preview video of Tweetie's new Mac version, which is due out on Monday, April 20. The preview shows a UI with a toolbar down the side, and chat bubble styling for the main stream. Knowing the iPhone version of Tweetie, I'm guessing we'll see more than one style option for the desktop version. It looks like there's support for multiple accounts, and for zooming in on a single conversation thread. The search features everyone likes in Tweetie for iPhone seem to be here, too, but the direct message page is new: it can apparently be sorted by individual contacts. There's also a nice link-sharing feature that I'm sure a lot of people will make use of.
We'll report more on Tweetie when we get a chance to test it out, so watch this space.

I dont understand the fuss about Tweetie. TwitterFon is free and does pretty much everything Tweetie does. Plus the killer TwitterFon feature for me is when it highlights your newest "tweets" upon launch.

Seconded, TwitterFon is an awesome app. :)

Tweetie does that too, and more with a much more gorgeous, useful interface.
It's fast, well laid out, and good looking. That's why it's worth the 4 bucks.

Tweetie also supports multiple Twitter accounts, which TwitterFon (to the best of my recollection) does not. That was the primary reason I sprung real $$$ for an iPhone Twitter client...

How do you hide the dock icon ??
BTW, there are great improvements/features needed. Here's my hands-on: http://tinyurl.com/tweetie-mac-ho
