Twitterrific is a fun application that lets you both read and publish posts or "tweets" to the Twitter community website. The application's user interface is clean, concise and designed to take up a minimum of real estate on your Mac's desktop.
To get started, visit the Twitter home page to sign up for an account for use with Twitterrific. Twitter accounts are free, take only minutes to set up and are a great way to stay connected with people around the globe.
Twitterrific's user interface is designed to let you view as much or as little information as you desire. The application shows a scrolling list of the latest tweets from either your friends or public feeds. The list can be shown in a collapsed or expanded mode. Scroll through all tweets quickly in either mode with the ↓/↑ keys.
Before installing Twitterrific, it's best if you first log out of Twitter's website - you can log back in after Twitterrific is up and running.
Once the download is complete, double click the Twitterrific application icon to launch it. When prompted, enter your Twitter account information and you will see the program load in the latest tweets from your friends list. Click the small wrench icon at the bottom of the interface to configure settings such as refresh time, auto window hiding and more.
We also suggest that you add Twitterrific as a friend. This allows you to get tips and other news as a part of your normal feed.
The following list shows keyboard commands that can be used while the Twitterrific window is active (its title is highlighted in yellow.) The most common ones can also be seen in the action menu.
Twitterrific can be used free of charge with no limitations. Development is funded in part by inline Ads via The Deck.
Registering the program removes all advertising and helps support future improvements.
Twitter is a community based website where users post what they are doing at any given moment. The concept is deceptively simple, wickedly addictive and pure fun. Tell friends, colleagues or strangers what you are snacking on, your current interests, favorite websites or just plain goofy nonsense!
