Tweet it Your Way

There are literally dozens of ways to tell the world what you are doing with Twitter. Most of them are built with Adobe Air, but if Air isn’t your cup of tea and you are running Leopard (OS X 10.5) you do have a few options that are genuine Mac OS X applications.

I think I have tried them all, but I always come back to Nambu.
I really like the Finder-like interface, and replies are listed like threads, but if you prefer multi-columns that is an option too. Even better is the tight integration with the fabulous URL shortener tr.im, and picture tweeting with pic.im.
How cool is this? I recently tweeted a picture of my little veggie garden and 4 minutes later I could see it had been viewed 20 times, including 12 times with Firefox and 3 times from the UK and once from Sweden.
Nambu also supports Groups, multiple Twitter accounts, and persistent Twitter Search so you can track keywords in real-time. Best yet, it is currently free with no ads.
Nambu is still in beta. For me, it has been very usable, stable and takes very little system overhead. I know some people have had a couple of issues, but the only issue I have had probably wasn’t related strictly to Nambu and went away within a day. The developer is also actively taking feedback and suggestions for improvement. See it at nambu.com.
