Tweetie acquired by Twitter
Atebits owner, developer Loren Brichter announced yesterday that Tweetie has been acquired by Twitter, renaming the iPhone version to Twitter for iPhone and setting its price to free, in a few weeks time.
What this holds in store for the Tweetie for Mac client, we have no idea as neither Twitter nor Loren has said anything about that. He has however commented and made clear that the beta version of Tweetie 2 for Mac, will be available soon, just as promised for the MacHeist bundle purchasers.
If the agreement included Tweetie for Mac, we don’t know, but since nothing has been said about it, it is highly unlikely. I for one, hope that Tweetie for Mac will continue to live because it is my choice of Twitter client on the Mac.
