I still remember using TweetDeck for Mac back in 2008 when it was an Adobe AIR application. This week, I am going to pick the best Twitter app for the Mac. While the Twitter website is fine for casual tweeting, people who use Twitter on desktop with any regularity will want a dedicated app. Because Twitter killed its official app for Mac last March, third-party apps are all you can use (except for TweetDeck). This week, I want to look at the best Twitter app for Mac.
It’s really one of those “what’s best for you” situations. The great thing about the ecosystem (it’s hanging on by a thread) is that both third-party and first-party options work for people. People who are fine with the official Twitter app (based on how they use Twitter) should stick with it. People who like third-party apps often prefer them for reasons that do make sense. It was interesting to read the replies I got on Twitter from people who felt strongly one way or another about third-party apps or using the official Twitter one. A few weeks ago, I took a look at the best Twitter apps for iPhone.
