Twitterific offers built-in URL shortening btw. It uses tinyurl. But yes the lack of RT bothers me.

This is a great review. I use twitteriffic and it does everything it needs to do. I turn off the error logging and error messages so the yellow error doesnt show much.

The problem I am having with twitteriffic is that when someone sends me a direct message it shows at the bottom and never goes away >< is there a way to get rid of old direct messages that are not suppose to show anymore?

I use twitteriffic on my iphone, and while I do like it, I think it could be better. I wish hahlo had an app instead of having to go to their site all the time, because I find it to be the most useful on the iphone. Very clean interface, easy to see my friends’ followers, etc.

@ShriNagesh Now if I could get Twitterific, TweetDeck and Twirl and mash them all together…
@mike Maybe they’ll put retweet into the next version. Shouldn’t be too hard.
@abhishek Why don’t you give Twitterific a try? Will seem pretty spartan after TweetDeck, but the simplicity grows on you.
@Oli Kenobi Yes, TweetDeck is a real resource hog. And it’s sloooowww on older Macs.
@qeek The ads in Twitterific are not intrusive, and they’re only once per hour, anyway. I can watch a lot of ads for 15 bucks!
@Tumblemoose As a Mac fan since 1984 (I’m really that old!), I can heartily recommend them!
@Chris Coyier Like I say in the review, I keep coming back to Twitterific, even though I have to cut and paste for retweets.
@Jordi The arrow on the right side of the tweet lets you reply, and it puts the person’s address in for you. Haven’t tried TwitterFox, since FireFox crashes every 3 minutes for me!
@Jhay Why don’t you give Twitterific a try? I think you might like it!
@Kim The stock birdies have looonnnggg warbles. I’ve put in a very short chirp that doesn’t get my cat all agitated!
@benhomie The keyboard shortcuts are nice — makes everything lots faster…if I can ever remember them all!
@Hector A. Henry S. Twitterific is an acquired taste, and it might not suit everybody. Like I said above, I’d give TwitterFox a try if FireFox didn’t keep crashing.
@Mike Panic Twitterific is very, very stable. I’ve never had it crash after many months of leaving my computer on 24/7.

I’ve been using Twitterific for about a year now and really like it, it does everything I could want with no issues, ever.

Yeah the only thing I find is no retweet, besides that, I love using the keyboard shortcut to quickly see the tweets window. Real time saver.

Great review Mike! Since I don’t have a MAC and didn’t win one in the Haiku contest, I won’t be trying this anytime soon The memory footprint is nice – last night my machine slowed to a crawl and it was because if tweetdeck – and it had only been running for 48 hours.

And LOL – what does a more polite bird sound like? Or a rude bird, for that matter?
