Tweetie 1.2 for Mac
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 12:00 PM
"We've mentioned our love of Twitter clients on many occasions. Among the many we have covered, Tweetie has become one of our favorites on the iPhone. When the desktop client was announced and subsequently released, our love affair was re-ignited. And now things are even more steamy; atebits announced today (via Twitter, no less) the immediate availability of Tweetie for Mac version 1.2."
The coolest thing about this update is the ability to record and tweet videos from the iSight camera. This is done using ImageShack's yfrog image hosting service. I don't do a lot of video other than on YouTube, so not sure this is something I will use much, but it is still a cool upgrade. They have also fixed a few bugs regarding URL-shortening, 32-bit stability and have improved Growl notification support. There is also support now for drag-and-drop video to go along with the previously mentioned video tweeting.
I haven't totally converted to using Tweetie, as I still mess around a bit with Tweet Deck. I do like what they are doing with it though.
