A few weeks ago, I completed a survey about Social Networking and when they asked me which was my favorite kind of Social Network I didn’t even stop to think before acknowledging TWITTER. In fact it’s easy to get addicted to Twitter, in 140 characters or less. Either way its an ingenius platform to share articles and information with your followers. So with that off my chest, let’s now transition to a discussion about some Twitter apps for PowerPC Macs.
* Syrinx 2.3.1 (Free) – http://cl.ly/1j382t2s0P07 – PowerPC friendly, 10.5 / Leopard. Twitter client with strong efficient workflow, easy to keep track of your unread tweets using the bookmarking system, also has Growl support. One more feature is the great search bar that helps to find tweets/retweets etc.
* TweetDeck 2.7.1 (Free) – http://tweetdeck.com/ – PowerPC friendly, 10.5 / Leopard. This application makes the experience of tweeting even more fun and professional. Don’t miss any unread tweets! It also works with columns with diferent customization options including “Mentions”, “Direct Messages”, “Timeline”, and supports more than one account. Download it here: http://tweetdeck.en.softonic.com/mac
* Twitterrific 3.2.4 – http://cl.ly/1Z1q2l113X0y – PowerPC friendly 10.5 but it might work on 10.4 as well. I appreciate your feedback if you happen to test it out.
* Twhirl 0.9.7 – (Free) – Easy to use and fast to tweet. Download here: http://twhirl.en.softonic.com/mac
Some of these applications (TweetDeck + Twhirl) are Adobe Air compatible, and to use them, you need to install them first: Air 1.5.3 – http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
I didn’t try these applications on 10.4 / Tiger, I think some of them might work, let us know if someone happens to test them out. I appreciate your feedback!
Twitterrific stopped working last year. It was great though!
Now trying Syrinx – not working either. Not sure why..
I use Echofon 1.4. It doesn’t show Direct Messages, but neither did Twitterific after a point though.
I’m always looking for a light, non-air application.
Twitterrific won’t work on Tiger, however I got Twhirl going after installing an old version of Adobe Air.
