This is the app formerly named Tweetie, and it's a free download from the Mac App Store."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1294616383.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>This is still number two on the list of free apps in the Mac App Store, so there are quite a few out there that must have been waiting for this app as well. It works similar to the iOS version except that when you click on a link inside a tweet, it opens in your default browser instead of within the app. I downloaded this as well, and it works. Guess that is bottom line for me since I'm not really a power user of Twitter. If you are, what apps or programs do you use?&nbsp;</p>

I'm a huge fan of Socialite (http://www.apparentsoft.com/socialite/), which does Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Google Reader. When I need something really light and fast, though, I use an odd little client called YoruFukurou (http://sites.google.com/site/yorufukurou/home-en)(which means NightOwl). It's a great Twitter client that doesn't get much attention.
