#Twitterrific long location update#
Twitterrific 6 is a great update to an aging app, bringing it up to date with modern design trends and standards. They’re only 280 characters max, I can read every single one on my timeline. I don’t want a machine to tell me what tweets I should be looking at. What I love about Tweetbot and Twitterrific is they keep the original spirit of Twitter alive. This is probably a topic for another blog. It’s a disease all venture capital funded companies seem to get at some point the urge for growth outweighs the company’s original mission, and then they alienate the users that helped make their company relevant in the first place. It’s exactly like what Dropbox has been doing to their product in the past week. I stopped using Instagram when they fucked around with my timeline, and I don’t like using Twitter like this either. Even with a recent feature to “show your latest tweets”, which just means Twitter won’t fuck around with the ordering, there is no timeline syncing between the app and web, and it sometimes still randomly (actually, I’m pretty sure it’s not random at all) switch back to showing what Twitter thinks are my “top tweets”. The first thing I tried was the official Twitter app, which I still use maybe once a week to check notifications since Twitter removed that feature from their third-party APIs.
However with the coming demise of Tweet Marker, and Tweetbot’s inability to use iCloud for timeline syncing when iCloud Drive is disabled (my corporate Mac doesn’t allow iCloud Drive) has had me looking at Twitter app ecosystem again. In recent years I’ve been a big Tweetbot user, especially since they brought Tweetbot to the Mac, and in general I’ve been pretty happy with it. I talked a bit about Twitterrific in my last post, the Mac version was the first ever desktop app that used Twitter’s (then undocumented) API.
Iconfactory just released their latest update to the oldest Twitter app around: Twitterrific.
