Verbs is available on both the iPhone and iPad and includes support for Google Talk, AIM, MobileMe, and Facebook. It looks great, but Tapbots said further improvements are coming…įinding the perfect instant messaging client on the App Store is a pretty big challenge, but a new app called Verbs is pretty close to it. Fortunately, we have a Retina update to Twitterific to tie us over, but the Alpha Tweetbot release today is also built for the new Retina display. The official Twitter for Mac app is unfortunately not Retina-ready and almost unusable on the new Retina displays. We have had a lot to say about the Twitter experience on the new Retina MacBook Pros. Syncing options only feature Tweet Marker currently (iCloud coming soon), while all the Read Later services are present such as bitly, Instapaper, Pinboard, Pocket, and Readability. You will also get Twitter, bit.ly, CloudApp, and Droplr URL shortening options, and all the same image and video-uploading options as on iOS, including: CloudApp, Droplr, img.ly, Lockerz, Mobypicture, Pikchur, Posterous, Twitgoo, TwitPic/TwitVid, and yfrog. However, only the ability to mute “Clients” appears to be an option now-with the option for muting keywords greyed out. The app also bakes in the familiar “Mute Filters” for your main timeline. In addition, like the iPad app, you will find a button to quickly switch lists in the upper right, while a Lists button on the left sidebar will let you manage and edit your lists within the app. Like tapping a tweet in the iPad app, hovering over a tweet in the Mac client provides you with the same Reply, Retweet, Favorite, Share, and Actions button to get access to details, conversations, retweets, and etc. The Tweetbot alpha, which at this point runs on 10.7+ and 10.8 Mountain Lion, has a lot going for it despite warnings of “Bugs! Lots of them.” According to Tapbots, the main goal of the alpha was to replicate the core functionality of the iOS client. Today, Tweetbot developers decided to make things official with the release of a public alpha, and we recently got a chance to play around with it. We reported late last month that Tweetbot for Mac, a desktop version of the popular third-party iOS Twitter client, would likely come soon after the company’s graphic designer, Mark Jardine, tweeted an image of the client running on a MacBook. Yfrog links now open in the in-app browser instead of the photo viewer.When composing replies, VoiceOver reads text first instead of original tweet.VoiceOver no longer repeatedly announces new tweet count.Improved reliability when clearing push notification badges.
