If you like Twitter but value a real OS X look and feel then give Nambu a try.
Features:
- Thumbnails are shown inline
See shared images right as they come in. Images flow by as visual parts of the Stream, not faceless links.
- View images in Nambu
Click a thumbnail to view images within Nambu as well. No need to see tacky ads, unless you click the links, which still go where they should. Options.
- See links as real domains
And see all shared links as actual domain names, not a cryptic "isgd" or "bitly", whatever that means. We are humans, not computers, after all.
- See related tweets inline...
Click Nambu's "in reply..." to pull in the related tweet. Instantly see the context of any random reply. Right there, where it matters.
- Conversation view
Switch to a full conversation view, but only if there is actually a conversation going on. Wow, what a concept! Simple but awesome (we like it anyway).
- And faster too
Nambu's smart two-step Process is simply how it should be. Never switch to a new "conversation" screen to just see a single tweet ever again. No fuss.
- Twitter Lists as one stream...
See all your Lists combined, so they become a useful single secondary stream, not endless extra timelines you have to click over and over. Ugh.
- Or each on its own
But with our unique drop-down you can view each individually too. However you like to follow your Twitter Lists, Nambu has you covered.
- Same for saved searches too
Same for your Twitter searches too: combined or separate. No more endless clicking and needless animations to switch between search results. Yay!
- Official retweets done right
See all retweets sent by people you follow as a normal part of your stream, with subtle indication. Or if you prefer, follow them in a dedicated timeline.
- With extras
You can retweet tweets the new way or with a new convention, such as /via. Whichever you like best.
- While honouring the past...
And, of course, with Nambu you can use the traditional retweet RT
