Graphics-wise, the newest version of Twitterrific is simply stunning. Additionally, Twitterrific has made many significant contributions to the Twitter ecosystem at large - it was the first native Twitter client on both Mac and on the iPhone, it was the first to coin the word “tweet”, and it was the first to implement a bird icon. The app has gone through many design iterations over the years, but has always remained true to its roots. Today, Twitterrific is 5 years older and 5 versions mature. Before Twitterrific for iPhone, we were all using web-based Twitter apps. Twitterrific for iPhone launched on July 11, 2008, and was one of the first apps in the brand new App Store for iPhone. Six months after Twitterrific for the Mac shipped, the first proof of concept for “ MobileTwitterrific” was announced in August of 2007. Now, almost 6 years later, I primarily check and post to Twitter via my iPhone.

Twitterrific for Mac shipped the same week Steve Jobs announced the original iPhone. Obviously our usage of Twitter has changed drastically since then. Visitors to my blog circa 20 could see a “this is what the author is currently doing” message. I followed dozens of people and would often post Tweets through a Quicksilver plugin, treating my tweets as one-line “status updates” which lived on my site’s sidebar. It’s funny to look back at how I used Twitter over half a decade ago. It was the first native Twitter app for the Mac, and I loved its small footprint, dark UI, and color-coded For a long time Twitterrific was Twitter for me. Twitterrific for the Mac came out in January 2007. If you’re old school, Twitterrific for Mac was probably your first Twitter client.
