Tweetie 2 Coming With The Mac App Store Tomorrow? Mum's The Word From Twitter

This afternoon, a site called Razorianfly posted a very interesting tidbit of information along with a purported screenshot to back it up. According to the site, Tweetie 2.0 for Mac is launching tomorrow alongside the Mac App Store.

If true, this is big news for Mac users who have long feared that the beloved app had been left for dead since Twitter acquired Tweetie and its developer, Loren Brichter, back in April of last year. That acquisition included both the iPhone and Mac versions of the software.

Tweetie 2 For Mac "Not Not Happening", Developer Confirms

Pretty much since the launch of Tweetie 2 for the iPhone a year ago, it seems like everyone has been clamoring for a Tweetie 2 launch for Mac as well. The project was very much in the works, and then developer Loren Brichter, and his Tweetie franchise, were acquired by Twitter. As Brichter adjusted to his new role, and helped build both Twitter for iPhone and iPad, Tweetie 2 for Mac was put on the back-burner. But it has never been killed off. And it may yet be coming.

Interest in the topic was renewed recently when Twitter co-founder Evan Williams was taking questions on Twitter and answered one about Tweetie 2. “Tweetie for Mac is not something we’re actively investing in at this time,” he wrote. But read his words. He didn’t actually say it was dead, just that they’re not actively working on it right now. That’s in line with what I’ve been told in the past. But today, MacHeist director John Casasanta is saying that Brichter has told him work is actively ongoing — just slowly. → Read More

Tweetie Two For Mac Approaches (Picture)

Last October, developer Loren Brichter set the App Store on fire with the sequel to his brilliant iPhone Twitter client, Tweetie. It looks like he’s about to do the same to the Mac.

Brichter sent out a series of teasing tweets today indicating that Tweetie Two is coming soon for the Mac. One, from his atebits account, reads:

Ready… ready?! News about Tweetie Tw… ROOOOOAAAAR!! NOOOO DON’T EAT M *BLAM BLAM*. *CHOMMMPP* Aaaaararrrrrgghhhhhh.
