If you haven’t heard of Tweetie, it is a Twitter app for the iPhone/iPod touch. Today, April 20th, Atebits released the Mac version.
Just like all good Mac apps, Tweetie is easy to use. There is a sidebar on the left. On the top of the sidebar there is your account picture. When you have that account selected, it will show four buttons under it. One for the timeline, one for mentions (replies), one for direct messages, and one for search. On the top there is a navigation bar that tells you where you are in the application (for instance, if your looking at a reply from someone, it would say “Mentions > Conversation”. A cool feature about Tweetie is the direct messages. When you go to the DM’s section, it will show all the people you have sent/received messages from. When you click on that person, it will come up in an iChat-like chat. There is also a “Reply…” button up at the top if you want to send a message to that person. Another cool feature is the user info. When you click on a person’s profile picture, it will show their name, username, & their tweets. There are also four buttons under their name: tweets, people replying to that person, starred, and their profile info. You can also add the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar which will pull up a tweet message with that page’s URL.
Tweetie for Mac costs $19.95 or $14.95 if you buy it before May 4th. There is a free version with ads, also.
