Twitterrific is a Mac OS X, and iPhone OS client for the social networking site Twitter. The client, created by The Iconfactory, lets users view in real time "tweets" or micro-blog posts on the Twitter website as well as publish their own. The program's main window uses a translucent black theme similar to certain palettes used in Aperture, iPhoto and other Apple Inc. software. Users may choose to view the full public timeline or just the friends feed. Users can also click on links to view the poster's profile or mark a twitter as a favorite.
As of version 2.1 Twitterrific supports Growl notifications, enhanced AppleScript capabilities and can be used with other sites or services that use the Twitter API.
Version 3 changed Twitterific into advertising supported shareware; every hour an ad is refreshed to the top of the list. Users who buy the program receive no ads. Other changes in version 3 mostly added compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 and incorporated newer Twitter features like direct messaging.
The iPhone OS version of Twitterific won the 2008 Apple Design Award for Best iPhone Social Networking Application.[1][2]
Twitterrific also provides functionality to upload images from an iPhone to a Twitpic account for posting on Twitter.[3]
