(EDIT: All that said, I just downloaded the Twitter update just out of curiosity, and it's actually pretty nice! I haven't yet seen any regressions from the previous version. And I haven't seen any sponsored tweet crap, but it's only been a few minutes.)
New improvements to Twitter for Mac
11–20 of 34 posts
So, call me cynical (I have been called much worse), but my immediate reaction is to wonder whether I should upgrade--what Twitter has done to make it a worse experience for me to use. That seems to be the overarching MO for stuff like this. I mean, I'm using Twitteriffic right now anyway, but still, I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering if they've hosed yet another of their first-party apps, and that can't be a good thing.

#13That's weird. They didn't publish any update since 2 years. Anyone thought it was really dead and Twitter made this in order let the user switch to twitter.com.
It might be partly due to their API keys and secrets being leaked a while back.

#14Might be related to them killing off desktop support for Tweetdeck.

#15New Twitter for Mac doesn't allow you to change accounts while composing a tweet, making my job providing user support over Twitter harder.
Also odd that Twitter for Mac is retina but Twitter for Web is not.
EDIT: @couch mentions that you can use ⌘⇧] and ⌘⇧[, which is less than ideal but makes it possible to switch between accounts. But I still miss the old drop-down which just required one mousedown and a corresponding mouseup on the selected account.

#16Still can't see the option to take a photo with my built-in camera. I wonder if a bridge with Photo Booth is possible for mac apps.

#17What about ads (sponsored posts)? Are those in there now?

#19Sounds pretty cool. I'm interested to see how buggy it is, cause some of their other features really are.

They're only killing support for the android, iPhone and Adobe Air versions. The native desktop versions of both Windows and OS X will continue to work. http://www.tuaw.com/2013/04/20/tweetdeck-air-and-tweetdeck-f...
