[...] regarding the next version of the iPhone client. Some people were anticipating an update to the Mac version which was released back in April, but I can’t say that there’s anything I’m waiting to be improved on that. [...]

Hey Scott, thank you! Glad you are enjoying Tweetie for Mac too. The inline photo viewer is a lovely touch – glad you’ve now been able to see that in action after you posted here

Nice write up… as usual. I digging Tweetie for Mac as well. Like you’ve said, there are a few things that need improved but overall I agree that it matches it’s iPhone counterpart very nicely.

I haven’t got to use the in-line photo view yet but it sounds nice.

Well, here’s to a nice post and cool software!!

Hey Tom. Yeah, the width of Tweetie isn’t a problem on my iMac at all. I have resized it as narrow as it will go on my PowerBook which has a lesser screen resolution, so that I can have that in the top right with Safari open alongside it aswell.

I’m glad I appear to have made your day, lovely Christopher I noticed, in your tweets from last night that you were featured in one of the Tweetie screenshots on TUAW.com. Oooh get you, being all famous on the webs! I look forward to reading about your Fresh Apple Whiff™ inhaling adventures!

Hi Andrew Yeah, the Tweetie UI is just absolutely spot-on. It’s one of the most delicious looking apps I have on Mac OS X (and iPhone) right now. I thought I’d really miss a notification sound but I’m not too bothered, although an option to have one is always nice.

After initially being a bit disappointed with Tweetie I’ve forced myself to use it over the past day and I’m definitely growing to love it.

I still wish I could have some kind of notification of new tweets other than the blue menubar icon – perhaps a sound (like Twitterific has). Also, I agree with you on the refresh button – the shortcut (command+shift+R) is okay, but a bit complicated.
I think it needs a few more user-customizable options such as refresh rate but otherwise it’s a great app.

The design is top-notch in my opinion. The animated effects are gorgeous, the integration of twitpic is a good move and the organisation of DMs is just beautiful.

Great review, Sam.

Well, Samantha, I am now blushing for one of three reasons:

1) I feel so famous as to be featured on your blog.
2) I have a typo in my first tweet from Tweetie for Mac in the first screenshot.
3) And you think I’m lovely. :p

@macwife is on her way to slap you with the fleshy palm. Just kidding

Great write-up, as always. I need to organize my thoughts on the matter, as well as post of some Fresh Apple Whiff™ I was able to inhale over the weekend.

Nice writeup as usual Samster.

For me tweetie for mac is far too wide, I keep twitterfic at the top right hand corner of my screen with Safari butted right up to it. If I do the same with tweetie I have to minimize Safari so much it has horizontal scroll bars I guess with your 1680 x 1050 resolution this isn’t a problem for you. I’d actually rather they just put the iPhone version on the Mac in someways! (same button layout etc)

Also, I wish they’d have integrated the new tweet box to the bottom of the app ala twitterific. The refresh button is another issue that I’ve tweeted about, along with the lack of update controls and a dark theme.

I’m sure some of these features will get added eventually though.

Over and out..
