The Twitter community seems to be riddled with Mac users (or at least that’s how it seems to me, since I follow a ton of them), and a lot of them stick to one client religiously. The other day, I held a poll asking all my followers what their favourite Mac twitter client was, and the response was essentially pretty unanimous – Tweetie.

Tweetie for Mac was released last month to widespread acclaim, garnering a top Trending Topic place on Twitter, and incessant talk for days. I waited until after all that calmed down to try and get some honest poll results, and it still comes out to Tweetie as number one.

Now, I didn’t get a huge response. All in all, I only got… Five responses. Three out of those five said Tweetie, with one user noting that they wish they could delete tweets and DMS. Other than that, no complaints.

I also got one response saying Twhirl/Tweetdeck and another response saying Twitteriffic. Unfortunately, both Twhirl and Tweetdeck are Adobe AIR applications, which don’t really relate to the question, seeing as I was asking for Mac apps (implying native Mac apps). Regardless, I’ll put them in here for some counter-argument.

I’ve tried all of the listed clients, and none of them have been as satisfactory to me as Tweetie. For one, the interface seems native to the OS, and fits in really nicely. Plus, the functionality seems to be much better than most other apps, with some coming close.

My second favourite is probably TweetDeck, with its multi-view dashboard that makes everything very easy to view at once. If I was stuck on a Windows machine (and I will soon be running Windows 7 on here), I’d probably use TweetDeck.

What are your favourite Twitter clients for Mac?

I was a bit surprised that nobody said Nambu when I asked.
