I just mentioned in the last post about tweeting your tunes and after that I really tried very hard to find an application to tweet from a Mac PowerPC running 10.4.11, but had absolutely no luck at all. It seems that we don’t have any choices to do that function, but if you are tired accessing your twitter from your browser there are two other ways to do this. They’re not fancy but they work great.
* Yoono Desktop – We already mentioned this application in our first post. http://www.yoono.com/desktop_features.html
* Twidget – It’s very simple widget but works very well. You can tweet from your dashboard in one blink, also you can retweet and check the latest updates from your timeline. http://gettwidget.com/
* Tweetie – Thanks to Roelant, he shared with us a great app that support PowerPC 10.5 (leopard). the link it’s http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/ . If you are tired using Safari to check your twitter account this is the best option that a PowerPC can have it. I hope you guys enjoy and thanks again for the clue…
The original Tweetie for Mac (predecessor to Twitter for Mac) still works on PowerPC. And though I’m guessing you’re not supposed to, the download still works:

Roelant I tried to run this app on a PowerPC machine running Tiger 10.4.11 and not luck, I think probably will run on 10.5 (Leopard)…
I’m sorry, it does indeed require 10.5, I missed that but looked it up and got confirmation here:

It does however support PowerPC – works great on it even – and that’s not easy to come by these days either. ;-)
That’s so true… any support for PowerPC is always welcome… Thanks for the support…
Thanks for the Info about Twitter clients!
Echofon v1.5 works perfectly on Leopard (latest release is 1.5.7 for Lion)
The original link to http://www.atebits.com/tweetie-mac/ is dead.
However, if you pull it up in the web archive (http://archive.org), you can still download a copy:
