Twitter is a micro-blogging platform that allows you to update people on what you are doing as well as see what others are doing instantly, all in 140 characters or less. The main use of twitter has been described as the office water cooler, which is where you stop to take a break and talk to others.

Much like Facebook, twitter is causing sensation, everyone in social media understand the importance of using twitter regularly. If you own a brand or you simply want to stay updated about what’s happening around you, then being on twitter is the way to go.

Ever since I got on twitter I’ve tested a number of applications on the Mac that allows you to update twitter and read your feed instantly without the need to visit their website. Some of these applications are Twitterrfic, TweetDeck, Twhirl, etc., I’m not telling you what I didn’t like about those applications, but I will tell you what I like about Tweetie.

Tweetie lets you be up to date on what’s happening on your twitter feed, much like other applications, it lets you post, reply, and re-post any tweet from your friends. This is very convenient because you don’t have to stop what you are doing and launch a web browser to check what your friends are up to, the application is sitting right there on you desktop.

A large number of twitter applications for the iPhone were released the minute the iPhone SDK was available, but one of them became an instant hit. Tweetie for the iPhone was a hit despite being one of the applications for the iPhone that had no free version, everyone who tried it loved it, I never got my hands on it but people like Cali Lewis from GeekBrief.tv has talked about the applications numerous times on their show.

The guys from tweetie announced a desktop version of the application for the Mac, I downloaded the free version, the one with ads. The ads are not intrusive at all, they go by just like the rest of your feed items do. The layout is clean and the controls are very intuitive, it’s very much like an Apple app. For more information visit www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/, they have a lot of information about what you can do with Tweetie, including a video.

The software is great, the paid version is just 14.95 until May 4th after that it will go up to 19.95 US Dollars. I suggest you to take a look at the application, download it, test it, if you like it, just to support the developer, get the paid version, I recommend it.

Of course you need to be on twitter to make use of this application, twitter is free. If you wonder how twitter can help you, leave me a comment on this article and I will make a big effort to convince you. Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook as well, I’m trying to make a LwEEs.com Fan page for my community, which will be awesome.
