The Mac client is what made Twitter useful for me. It has a dedicated place on the desktop and I can peek in any time quickly to see what's new. Like a personalized news ticker. In contrast, I can't stand using the website. So this might reduce my usage drastically and turn me into a mobile only user.
- eropple 14y agoFWIW, the new Tweetbot for Mac client is pretty great. They took down the alpha link from their site, but if you can find a copy of the DMG, you can still register into the alpha.

- nvk 14y agoTweetbot for the Mac is a lot better, not sure if it is still available for download.
- porsupah 14y agoI can't really recommend the UI design, but it does work well. In particular, its implementation of filtering (and here we hit the reason Twitter would hardly mourn the end of third party clients) is simple and complete, permitting me to be rid of autotweets from the likes of FourSquare and RunKeeper. As a consequence, I haven't used Twitter's website in months. Ah well. If Twitter should wither, it's been an interesting ride; however, I suspect it's reached Fcbk inherent security of position. That said, if anyone knows of a genuine (ie not a poll on a random website) survey on people's usage of Twitter, I'd be most interested to see how the public at large uses Twitter, and who's heard of Twitter's edging away from third party clients.
