Twitterific 3.1 (Beta) Annoys Less, Fixes Bugs
The fine folks over at Icon Factory have release a beta (1.2MB zip file) update to their popular OS X Twitter client which fixes one really annoying problem in how new messages are displayed – no more autoscroll to the top – and adds a slew of enhancements, including NetNewsWire-like keyboard shortcuts (the spacebar moves to the next tweet that is unread, the ‘k’ key will mark all tweets as read, and the ‘u’ key will mark a tweet as unread) . While it’s not a full “.1″ release and is a very task-specific application, I mention it because I (@hrbrmstr) find Twitter to be a great way to interact with folks in the Mac community and have nothing but kudos for Craig Hockenberry (@chockenberry) for how well he has responded to the constant hounding from all of us ‘twits’, both on new features and on fixing problems.
The responsiveness of the OS X developer community is one of the reasons the Mac is such a great platform to use, and Twitter makes interacting with many of them extremely easy and, dare I say, fun.
So, push the limits of the app, tweet your feedback and enjoy the fact that you can have great influence in the development of applications on best platform there is.
