I am a huge fan of micro-blogging because it fits my method to the madness of blogging. I am also a Mac freak. As of last week I finally made it over to Twitter and setup an account and immediately got hooked on the concept of twittering or tweeting and decided to search for an application for my Mac that would allow me to tweet as I go. It didn’t take me long to find the Twitterrific application by IconFactory.
Twitterrific is an application that lets you both read and publish posts or “tweets” to the Twitter community website. The application’s user interface is clean, concise and designed to provide a very light and small foot-print on your Mac’s desktop. It is extremely configurable and the user interface is above what to be expected from a Mac application, light and straight to the point, with a cool factor.
Free vs. Pay Version
Twitterrific comes in 2 version a free and paid license. As of this post, I downloaded the free version and only assume that a disadvantage of the free version is the occasional advertisements that appear from time to time. The paid version is only $14.95 and I intend to purchase a license for this application as it is a great addition to my micro-blogging tool box.
Other Twitter Application Conflicts may be Flocked!
Unfortunately Twitteriffic does seem to play very well with my Flock Web Browser at the moment. Apparently Twitter only allows 70 request per hour, and with the Flock browser attempting to get it’s updates caused my Twitterrific application to error out stating to avoid running other Twitter applications or refreshing too soon. I certainly was not refreshing, and the only other application running at the time was my Flock Browser logged into Twitter as well.

Summary:
Twitterrific is a more than useful tool for micro-bloggers and Twitter users on the Mac OS X platform, and is highly recommended by George! If you are a user of the Flock browser, simply do not log in to your Twitter enabled Flock account until these 2 have figure out how to play together. I have confidence in both of these developing groups and I’m sure that once they are aware of potential conflicts, they will assume a stance to correct the issues.
All-in-all Twitterrific has added value to my day!
