Our Verdict
Not everybody “ gets”Twitter — I interpret that . It might be hard to see the entreaty of a societal networking service that confine its exploiter ’ messages to just 140 characters apiece . After all , what can you mayhap say of value in just a couple short sentences ? And how often can you keep go back to a WWW page and refreshing to see if your friends have see anything interesting ?
Then again , if you ’ve been trying to use the serve solely via its vane interface , you ’ve only been getting half the experience . In order totrulyexperience Twitter to the fullest , you really want to be using an external node , like the Iconfactory ’s in truth excellentTwitterrific 3.1 .

The measured attention to intent paid by Twitterrific ’s developer means that the covering be as mere or as complex as you pick out . If you just want to charge your update ( or “ tweets ” , as they ’re dubbed ) , that ’s no problem . If you want to answer to someone else ’s or view their profile , that ’s as easy as clicking the small arrow icon in their message . And if you want to take reward of Twitter ’s sophisticated feature ( favoriting a tweet or sending someone a lineal message , for model ) , those function are tucked off in a handy soda pop - up menu or accessible via a keyboard shorcut when Twitterrific is in the foreground .
In addition to those features , new versions have append financial support for theGrowlnotification system , the power to erase your own tweets directly from Twitterrific , and a mystic Easter egg : the patented SonicTwoosh technology ( check the Read Me for how to enable this playfulness minuscule special ) .

The version you download is fully functional , but unless you yield $ 15 , Twitterrific will expose an ad ( tastefully integrated into your Twitter stream ) once an hr . Unfortunately , about the only thing Twitterrificcan’tdo is resolve Twitter ’s persistent reliableness issues .
