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.
TweetDeck Updates With Lists, GeoTweets and the new Retweets
The very popular Twitter client running on the Air platform, TweetDeck has been updated to a new version which now adds support for the official Twitter lists feature, replacing the previous Groups that was in the app. Also new is support for the new style Retweets, maps for geo-tagged massages as well as the ability to view LinkedIn streams, which is a very neat addition.
You can download TweetDeck for free on their website.
