Tweetie Killer coming to the Mac App store
A couple days ago, Tapmates released a rough image of what appears to be a Tweetie-like Twitter client. Now, a few folks are speculating that this could be Tweetie 2 for Mac, but as we know, Tweetie’s creator Loren was hired by Twitter last spring, and was tasked with creating the official Twitter iPhone and iPad app — so there’s not much hope that this is Tweetie 2 for Mac, as Twitter seems to dislike desktop apps.
This morning at 8:00 CET, an employee of the Bureau Of Secret Apps delivered a highly classified package to Tapmates HQ. After the pyrotechnician, Petr, deemed the package to be safe, we opened it and it’s contents were unveiled. Multiple classified blueprints and source code for a new app, codenamed 004, have been discovered. Our intel says it will be deployed early 2011. — Tapmates
So “004” will probably be some sort of artsy Twitter app coming to the Mac App store in 2011, and Tweetie may just be left to die off — but since the recent launch of the new Twitter, desktop app use has started to dwindle. It will be interesting to see another app fill Tweetie’s shoes.
