I use a Mac and I tweet and I am still looking for a good client (I am using Twitterific). In this post I have listed some of the clients that are available to you as a Mac user that would like to do your tweeting from the Desktop. Please feel free to add more clients in the comment field or contact me with tips if you feel I have missed some important clients.
Tweetie
Tweetie is the client I use on Mac. As other clients for Twitter, there are both a free ad-serving version and one paid, $19.95. The client is fantastic, you can use multiple accounts, easily follow conversations and quick get user details.
Twitterific
Twitterific is a client I use myself. The client comes in two flavours, free and paid for, I use the free one and have to live with the ads that run once in your stream every hour. I do not even notice the ads, and wonder why I should upgrade (except for the reason it is a good client).
Tweetr
Tweetr supports file upload (up to 10mb) by third party and is also built on top of Adobe Air.
Tweetdeck
Tweetdeck is an application built on Adobe Air currently in Beta. Tweetdeck lets you as a user split all tweets into topics or groups of specific interest, making it easier for you to get an overview of what is happening right now in different niches you are covering.
Thwirl
Thwirl supports several lifestream services such as Twitter, identi.ca, FriendFeed and Seesmic. It also supports cross-posting to Pownce (which is dead) and Jaiku and image posting to Twitpic.
Others
Hopefully we who use Mac will see better clients for Twitter in the future. I am waiting for full Adium support for Twitter and Panic writing a client for managing your lifestreams. Until then, I will try to update this post with clients that Mac users can download if they fancy doing their updates from the desktop instead of using online twitter tools and clients.
