@Andrew, I have been using Twitterrific and am now trying Tweetie and there’s one thing Twitterrific does wonderfully that Tweetie can’t do: it pops up when tweets arrive, then disappears when you click on another window or after xx seconds display time (all user-configurable). Killer feature.

@Andrew

Growl support is coming, as soon as 1.1. If you go through the package, Growl.framework is already included in there.

I like what I see so far. Some of the choices make a lot of sense to me, but will take some getting used to as an EventBox user.

with regards to conversation view being haphazard: this is most likely because in order for this to work, the tweets need to have their in_reply_to_status_id properly set. what that means is that the user would need to reply to a specific tweet (whether by clicking the reply arrow on the web interface, or through a client of their choice) rather than simply typing @username. just typing @username will link to an account page, but it doesn’t know what tweet to link to. trying to load a conversation with one of these types of links will obviously fail, since it’s not part of a conversation from a technical standpoint – it’s a free-floating link to a userpage. you can easily see the difference on twitter’s website in the byline for a tweet. if it’s a reply to a specific tweet, it will say ‘in reply to _____’, and clicking this will take you to the tweet in question.

other apps have similar functions (eventbox offers a conversation view as well) but sadly it’s not a client problem, it’s an issue with the backend/the way people reply.

“There are drawbacks though: there’s a missing refresh button, no method for deleting tweets” Whilst I agree with the no delete option being a problem, why would you need a refresh button? The twitter stream is auto-refreshed; you get to choose from auto-scrolling to the top of your stream or maintaining scroll position when new tweets arrive, (this is under preferences). Otherwise great app and great review.

There is one more major feature. In search view, Window->Open in New Window will peel off that search view in to a separate window. Also In profile view single clicking on a profile picture will open that picture in a separate window. It also supports global hot keys.
