I downloaded (and paid!) for Twitterrific based on its pedigree … let's face it, in the Mac world, the folks at The IconFactory are minor deities. I expected more than a basic Twitter client. And I was disappointed. First off, the client doesn't behave like a standard Mac app — you can't command-tab to it, it has no menu, it behaves much more like a dashboard widget that snuck into Finder. Which is REALLY annoying. Also, the interface is designed in a way that I've sent private tweets to the general public several times. Beyond these two problems, there are some features I'd like to see that aren't present: an easy way to browse those I follow and who follow me. I want a comprehensive history kept — as it is, Twitterrific only shows a fraction of my history. And I want out-going d… and @… tweets to be logged.
So … well … I'm just not sold.

I completely agree. I find the non-standard interface annoying, and why is it so tiny? You can make the program have an icon in the dock, but initially it was confusing when I couldn't find the menus. Also, why doesn't it support multiple accounts? Tweetie is brand new and it supports it.Reply to This
