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.
