Twitter Native App for Mac
I was intrigued by this app since Twitter announced it on their official blog.
The app overall looks is strikingly similar to Tweetie (I don’t imagine this will do well for their app sales), you got the bar on the left hand side
The differences are:
App is free (hooray to that).
You can add multiple accounts.
You can set photo hosting like TwitPic, Posterous, etc.
Photo services immediately load on the app, instead of opening in web browser, unless it is an unrecognized service.
You can see you Twitter list, a feature that Tweetie doesn’t have.
However you can’t see if a new followers is following you or not, I’m hoping they will change this. (It’s a plus for Tweetie as I like this feature a lot.)
You can search for topics or users, but upon opening search window you get to see the top trending topics on Twitter.
I do like the new twitter message composer floats on top of your window, which is handy when you want to pull things from web or other contents. (Short url are automatically posted.)
Performance wise it’s pretty quick to load.
Ideas for next update:
URL shortener flexibility as people like to use Bit.ly or other services.
Check Twitter follow and follow-back, maybe integrate Klout feature.
Preview of URL content even if it is a website, like the iPad app where you don’t need to go to your web browser to see the content.
Tweet posting scheduling like HootSuite perhaps.
Adding people to list via the app directly.
This app is only available for download via the Mac App Store.
