Tweetie for Mac Launches With Potential And Conversation Tracking

Ladies and gentlemen, I am so excited right now because one of my favorite iPhone apps is coming to a desktop near you!
Atebits, developer of the popular Tweetie iPhone app, has announced the debut date of Tweetie for Mac a.k.a Bigbird! I’m hoping that it will be coming to Windows really soon, but for now let’s drool.
It seems Atebits will be taking the same slick UI of Tweetie on the iPhone and pushing it straight to the desktops of Mac users. According to the demo video of Tweetie for Mac (here), it will be one of the first desktop apps to support conversation tracking, or threaded message support, with a cool way to view conversations for messages too.
This is a really good feature and rapidly becoming a must have for any Twitter application these days. Tweetie is the first I’ve seen to this and I haven’t seen it in their iPhone app either.
“Tweetie for Mac is more than a port – in fact, it’s a complete rewrite. The new core is faster, more stable, and more extensible than its predecessor. Not only will it form the foundation of the Mac version, but also the foundation of the next generation of Tweetie 2.0 for iPhone.”
Tweetie for Mac will be released this Monday, April 20th. I’m looking forward to hearing what Mac users will think of it(and secretly wishing I had a Mac). It has a lot of cool nifty effects that really catch the eye, but also has the potential to be a hit or miss with some folks. I think you’ll either love it or hate it, especially with the way they’ve integrated threaded messaging into every conversation that happens on Twitter!
Other Features
We’re not sure what features might be missing compared to competitors, but having groups may be one of them. So be sure to stay tuned for more info on this or follow @atebits and @tweetie on Twitter.
Here are some screenshots of the great features from the demo video of Tweetie for Mac:
Drag & Drop Image Support
Direct Message Threading!
Twitter Search Integration
Questions:
- What do you think of Tweetie for Mac?
- Wish it were coming to Windows?
- Will you be giving it a test drive?
- Are you hoping it can replace your current client?
LOVED IT? SHARE IT!:
I use tweetdeck on mac, yes I'll give it a try. I'd love conversation threading, also love tweetie on the iphone for its clean UI.
Do you know if the Monday release will support multiple profiles similar to the iphone version, that will be huge on the Mac version.
I'll be trying Tweetie as soon as I can. The key for me, as it probably for you Corvida, is groups. I can't live without groups. Nambu is closest to edging out TweetDeck as my primary app, but it needs stability first.
I totally agree with Tris: I need groups and I really want to like Nambu, but it is not easy. If Tweetie – which I use on my iPhone – provides a stable native OSX app, I will give it a serious try. And of course, I will do next Monday… :)
Been waiting for a next-level native Mac Twitter client for a while now. I really don't like Adobe AIR apps much for a whole host of reasons I won't get into here. I use Twitterific, which I like a lot, but it's fairly limited at this point. The other native clients aren't doing it for me either.
Tweetie looks really good in the demo video; I'm hoping it's just as good when it's available on Monday.
I was never a MAC user..but seeing this i would definitely to try it out on MAC…
