Tweetie on Mac
But, you just got done saying how much you loved Tweetie 2 for iPhone. You want more? Well, yes I do.
I am now using both Tweetie on my Mac and on my iPhone. On the day I bought Tweetie for iPhone I immediately began to wish that the two of them ‘worked together’ a little better. So here is my short list:
- Full “persistence” between the two. Tweetie for iPhone remembers where you are (even if you quit the app). I’d like both Tweetie for iPhone and Tweetie on the Mac to know where each other is. This would save me from ever reading a tweet twice and from a lot of scrolling.
- Tweetie 2 for iPhone syncs with Twitter’s saved searches feature. I think Tweetie for Mac should too.
- Drafts syncing. I didn’t realize the value of having Tweet drafts until I used Tweetie 2. And now I can’t wait to see them in Tweetie on the Mac.
I’m really happy with my current state of Twitter applications. But all geeks wish for that which they do not have. So this is me just being a typical geek.
“Thy wish has been granted, my son.”
Well, sorta.
The new codebase for Tweetie iPhone has been re-written with exactly these (plus more) things in mind, and what’s even more amazing is that both Mac and iPhone versions of the app will share the same codebase.
Although Loren decides what ultimately shows up in the app, there are high chances what you describe _will_ show up in Tweetie Mac.
Do we know when Tweetie 2 for mac will be released?
Not sure. I don’t have any inside info here. I’m beginning to wonder if they abandoned Tweetie for Mac altogether due to the success of Tweetie for iPhone. Time will tell.
It certainly seems that way but I wouldn’t count this guy out. He’s delivered three pretty amazing apps already and there is still plenty of room on the Mac for a great Twitter client.
I wonder what’s up with Twitterrific as well. These days I run Echofon on my mac .. seems to be the only app with support for the ‘new’ RT system.
Ditto (re: Echofon).
