			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One week (er, four days) ago <a href="http://adamsentz.com/tweetie-for-mac/">myself</a> and pretty much everyone else on the internet were all talking about the just released <a href="http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/">Tweetie for Mac</a>. I&#8217;ve been using it for <a href="http://twitter.com/adamsentz">Twitter</a> all week (aside from using <a href="http://twitterfon.net/">TwitterFon</a> on my iPhone), and I have to say . . . it&#8217;s pretty awesome. It&#8217;s not perfect, but I think creator <a href="http://twitter.com/atebits">Loren Brichter</a> is more concerned with &#8220;<a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/140209/2009/04/tweetie_brichter_interview.html">the perfect balance between power and simplicity</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>That being said, there are a few adjustments that I&#8217;d love to see that I feel fall in line with that goal:</p>
<ol>
<li>The mechanism for adding tweets seems like an afterthought &#8211; it&#8217;s a tiny button in the bottom left corner of the window. I agree with <a href="http://b.lesseverything.com/2009/4/22/tweetie-flaws-osx-twitter-app">LessEverything&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/lessallan">Allan Branch</a> that it would be better pegged to the top like it is on Twitter&#8217;s web interface. I&#8217;d be fine with it being minimized by default, but either way would be an upgrade for me.</li>
<li>I also agree with <a href="http://twitter.com/zeldman/status/1606346912">Jeffrey Zeldman</a> that the default setting for Retweeting &#8220;(via @user)&#8221; (or reposting as Tweetie refers to it) is not as ideal as &#8220;RT&#8221; (in fairness Allan also had the same complaint). Using six characters when you could use two seems like a bad idea when every character counts. Allan also complains about the fact that it comes at the end of the post, and I concur. My preferred syntax goes comment, RT, @user, retweeted content. I think it might be nice, though probably not ideal from an interface perspective, if we could specify our <a href="http://twitter.com/adamsentz/status/1586023051">preferred syntax</a>.</li>
<li>I find it annoying that mentions that I have already viewed in my main timeline still show as unviewed in my main timeline. I also wouldn&#8217;t mind if I didn&#8217;t have to view duplicate tweets across multiple accounts to have them marked as viewed, but that is a tiny, niggling concern.</li>
<li>Lastly, more of an observation, the ads by <a href="http://fusionads.net/">Fusion</a> are so attractive and well-targeted that I feel disincentivized to actually register Tweetie for Mac. Loren actually said, &#8220;Many people mentioned that they registered Tweetie but then opted to keep the ads on anyway&#8221;.  I don&#8217;t mind this a bit, and I think it makes me far more likely to pick up Tweetie for my iPhone in the near future.</li>
</ol>
<p>Tweetie for Mac is great, and you&#8217;re a chump if you&#8217;re using anything else. I&#8217;m sure that Loren is <a href="http://twitter.com/atebits/status/1577025173">completely inundated</a> with many similar requests, and I look forward to every future update of this stellar app. For everything that I&#8217;d like to see improved there are several features that I just love, and that is a very promising start.</p>

<p>Quick tip for new users: plug ins are disabled by default so if you want to view that YouTube video you&#8217;ll need to enable them in preferences.</p>
