Jun 11, 2009 - Recently in a bit of frustration, I decided to shift from using an Adobe AIR-based Twitter client on my Mac over to using Nambu, a native Mac. A week or two ago, I saw brief mention of a Twitter client called Nambu and figured I would give it a try. After a little bit of fiddling with the configuration, I was hooked. After a little bit of fiddling with the configuration, I was hooked. Nambu the best Twitter client for OS X Unprecedented. Since the recent flood of new people onto Twitter I have been begging for a more efficient UI for managing and reading filtered lists / groups of people I am following.
Nambu is very popular free Mac that handles saved searches, topic threading, filters, and groups. For example, you can split up the people you follow like family, friends, coworkers, even enemies. Nambu is a native Mac application designed for multiple social networking services, but in practice it seems like its primary strength is as a Twitter client.
It offers support for multiple Twitter accounts, which can in turn be viewed in several different ways. It also integrates support for the tr.im URL shorting service and the pic.im image service. There’s the standard list view which will automatically integrate tweets from multiple accounts into a single timeline. There’s a three-pane view, somewhat similar to OS X Mail, with a sidebar allowing you to choose between accounts, and finally a multi-column view a la TweetDeck or HootSuite and you can, of course, choose what appears in each column: main timeline, replies, sent messages, searches(!), etc. In addition, replies are automatically threaded so they appear indented under the most recent tweet from the person to whom you are replying (as well as within the normal timeline).
Another nice feature is that it automatically displays the domain of shortened URLs that appear in your timeline.
A big advantage of Twitter is that while you can use the website, there are also dozens of Twitter clients that provide a streamlined way to use the service. Here we've rounded up six of the most popular.
While we conclude which of them is, in our opinion, the best available, if you disagree, all you need to do to switch clients is launch a different application and add your login details. Twitter clients Echofon - Free with ads/$20 Kiwi - Free (two accounts)/$10 Nambu - Free TweetDeck - Free Tweetie - Free Twitterrific - Free with ads/$15 Test one - General use Is the app usable and are important features available?
TweetDeck's Adobe AIR cross-platform origins result in a non-Mac-like and fiddly but powerful client, which enables you to define columns of varying content types. Conversely, Twitterrific is Mac-like but basic – it resembles a palette and only enables access to one account at a time, and so it's best suited to sporadic use. Nambu looks good in screen grabs, but we found its icon-heavy interface overwhelming and a little buggy. The other apps are broadly similar and usable. Switching between accounts is simple, and shortcuts enable fast access to important commands.
Visually, Kiwi edges it due to theme support, but Echofon's minimalism and myriad keyboard shortcuts are welcome, even if its occasional lack of refresh on account switching and single post-window aren't; by contrast, Kiwi and Tweetie offer independent windows for posting. Elsewhere, Kiwi gains points for rule definition capabilities and displaying images inline. Test results Test two - Posting tweets How easy is it to post tweets and attachments?
Our requirements: posting to any signed-in account; a live character count; dragging images from Finder for upload; optional shortening of links. Twitterrific mostly failed, offering no assistance regarding images and links. Nambu also fell short – images can be added but not dragged from Finder. Kiwi disappointed a little. Link shrinking is slow, and we found Kiwi sometimes posted to an account other than that selected in its post window. Echofon impressed though.

Images are shown as thumbs, which can be previewed via Quick Look, and you can post screen grabs or iTunes songs. Tweetie's post window is similar, and can be accessed via a system-wide hotkey. But TweetDeck is posting champion: you can post to multiple accounts at once, and the app has geo-location support and tweet scheduling. It's complex, though.

Also, TweetDeck and Echofon don't have separate post windows, so no working on multiple tweets. Test results.
