@Vox-I can’t see a way to get different accounts on the same timeline. The only thing I think it can do is select which account to Tweet from regardless of which account your in.

But if it manages multiple accounts the way Nambu does on the Mac or the way Statuzer does it (that is, single timeline with all accounts mixed in, automatic selection of correct account when @responding), then I’ll buy TP in a second.

Anybody know which it is?

I broke down and bought TP.

Very cool. The auto-fresh mechanism alone makes this a winner. And yeah, the badges are very nice touches. Visually, I find it easier to see/read than Tweetie (not as “scrunched in”). Thanks.

For instance, first, on start up with TP you see number badges for your friends, @mentions, and DM without having to open them. With Tweetie you have to open each to see what’s new (wasted time to open if nothing new). Secondly, from the tweet dialog screens in TP, if you touch the paper clip or photo thumbnail you immeadiately open the attachment, (unless multiple links then you select the one you wanted). With Tweetie you touch the tweet and it opens, then you have to select the link or photo you wanted. So you have to move through a few more screens. Thirdly, TP auto-refreshes which is nice, then you don’t have to keep refreshing each item.

I think Tweetie is a great app and might look back into it when the update with some added features but TP is just a faster experience for me right now.

I agree with you on Twitter, definately not as fun on the desktop.

I have both FB and Twitter. Just speaking for myself, I wouldn’t say Twitter is better than FB (FB is still the most popular social networking site in the world but Twitter is growing FAST) but it is different. You kind of summed it up in your words. FB is the more fleshed out, fully featured social networking site where you can post pics, albums, videos, take stupid quizzes, etc. Twitter is more about the “real-time” communication/tweets. Yes, you could conceivably update your FB status 4 or 5 times a day, but most FB users don’t use it for that purpose. Twitter is more about posting thoughts, news events, tips, following interesting people/celebs, meeting new posters, communicating in real time, etc in the moment. FB is (at least for me) more about keeping in touch with the people you actually know in real-life (friends, lovers, co-workers, long-lost buds, family, etc.). So the 2 are DIFFERENT and it’s not a really a good comparison (as say, FB vs. Myspace). I love ‘em both and use ‘em daily. I probably still use FB slightly more (since more people are still on FB vs. twitter) but like I said, Twitter’s userbase is growing exponentially–to the point that they’ve surpassed Myspace as the second leading social-networking site. As a little tidbit, there’s a few cool FB apps (like “Selective Twitter Status”) that allow you to sync your FB and Twitter status/tweets — so you wouldn’t have to update twice.

I’m sure TP is awesome but I’m satisfied with Tweetie. I just need something that is quick, simple and idiot-proof; I don’t need tons of Twitter features. YMMV.

Amazed by how many different Twitter clientss there are in the App Store, B.
