Twitterrific CommentaryAs horrible with security as twitter itself. - Version: 3.1, 1/23/2009 06:08AM PST

If you're a casual user of online services (which twitter users often are), do not use this. It's a software you have to pay for, which in its default configuration sends your twitter password over the wire in PLAINTEXT which means every schoolboy with a laptop can sniff your twitter password in a public hotspot. Without manual command line configuration (hey! this is mac, not linux) you can't change this insecure behavior, which is not acceptable in 2009. A new software where this should have been fixed has not been published in almost a year. In the light of recent twitter "password problems" I would actually stay away from twitter or at least 3rd party applications anyway.

Twitterrific CommentaryGreedy? - Version: 3.1, 1/15/2009 02:56PM PST

I just came here to download the app and saw the silly comments complaining about ads in a free program. Apparently the developers have the audacity to want to earn some income from their product? What a concept!

So some folks are offended by ads? Or they feel compelled to buy advertised stuff? I don't get it.

I'm definitely going to download the app, and I might even read the ads, just for spite! :-)

Twitterrific CommentaryLooks like the developer got greedy.... - Version: 3.0, 11/1/2007 04:40PM PST

The new 3.0 Twitterific now has ads at the top of the window, and keeps them there until you pay them $14.95 to make them go away.

Too bad, as this was a cool little app that just worked. It is following the path of so many other cool shareware and freeware apps where the developer gets greedy after having X thousand copies downloaded, thinks he's hit critical mass with the app, and then gets delusions of grandeur (and lots of dollar $igns) in their head.

Stay at 2.1, you'll be happier without the lame ads.

Twitterrific ReviewGreat little app! - Version: 2.0, 6/8/2007 07:39AM PST

I haven't updated yet to 2.1 (downloading now), but I've been using 2.0 and it's great--pops up when you've got new tweets and otherwise leaves you alone. Only problem is ocassional connection errors, usually okay by next time it tries to connect. Love it!

Twitterrific Troubleshooting Report"can't find host" error - Version: 2.1, 6/7/2007 12:51PM PST

Error with 2.1:

2007-06-07 09:48:55 -1000: There was an error retrieving the XML data from Twitter. The error message is "can’t find host".

Deleting preferences didn't help. 2.0 works fine.

Would be cool if it would use the defacto OS X standard for notifications.

I don't know if I'll be using Twitter at all... but if I will, sure one of the main reasons will be this beautiful app.
Windows users: IN YOUR FACE!
