RELUX  I love this app and it's my main client. However, it does need an update and is aging. Would be nice to be able to change the update interval, twitter list support, better search, trends, etc.

KIOSHI  You have valid points, it's lighter and doesn't take up your whole screen. But without Facebook integration I still prefer to open a browser tab with the hootsuite website since it's almost like tweetdeck without the heavy resource use (I also like hootsuite's abitily to schedule your tweets/facebook updates). Just my opinion of course.

STONEMAN  Not true. All you need to do is control-click (or right-click) on the tweet in question and select "Repost..."

KIOSHI  I dunno why this client is so popular when Tweetdeck is so much better and free.

KBEAT  Mainly because it has a much cleaner and more Mac like interface. Plus the fact that TweetDeck is an AdobeAIR app which makes it a resource hog. Most people don't want a Twitter client using the resources of Photoshop.

Also, when it was originally released, it was much closer feature wise with TweetDeck. Since then, Twitter's APIs have seen a lot of enhancements, and TweetDeck has updated with them regularly. Look for Tweetie 2 on the Mac soon, which will bring all the great additions that we now have with Tweetie 2 on the iPhone.

STONEMAN  I use it because I can check tweeties from three separate accounts I use (two for different occupations I pursue, and one private) without hogging a lot of desktop space or resources.

But I do wish it had spam reporting.

OSP  It is my twitter client of choice.

Tweetie has found the one hand the sleek user interface and on the other hand a huge number of functions under the hood. Thus, as a newcomer to Twitter it does not stand in my way and as I'm growing up in Twitter it has the pro-tools at hand.

I highly recommend it to anyone using Twitter.

D00D  Stop putting this as a comment on all the Twitter clients. You can easily link your Facebook status to Twitter if it's that important to you.

RBUGAJEWSKI  Best Twitter client for Mac OS X!

I searched a long time for the best Twitter client for Mac OS X and finally bought Twitter. Tweetie has a great, polished and focused UI and I can do everything I want. The multi-account support is implemented in a really great way (I’m a huge fan of the iconized sidebar) and the overall interaction is very intuitive.

I love the sophisticated keyboard shortcuts throughout the whole application. Another great feature is the conversation view that lets me easily follow a running conversation. Looking up user data and following / unfollowing is also a very easy procedure and something that I previously did only through Twitter’s web interface.

The last thing I like is the integrated image view for TwitPic etc. It not only looks nice, but it gives you also a fast and QuickLook-like interface whenever you need to view an image. It gets easily out of your way so you can continue to read newer tweets.
