Twitter buys Tweetie
No no. THIS is the worst possible case.

I hope this is the case, it should insure that the tweet syncing still works whenever it gets implemented

It's all great news. Count me in… still.
Finding a truly great app like Tweetie in the nanobundle was icing on the cake.
Although you can change without improving, you can't improve without changing!

I don't feel cheated or short changed and I'm very happy.

Let the speculation begin…will the new icon be atrocious, or just worse than Tweetie's?

Tweetie 2's icon was damn near perfect. That said, Twitter obviously have a lot of talented designers, so I'm not sure. I reckon it'll be about as good.

Which is old news. Everyone saw this last night. That's why I said "If it's ever released to the App Store."

As you may know Twitter did eventually get around to changing the logo of Tweetie 2 (Now known as Twitter). IMO the new logo sucks, but like I said that is just my opinion. I am not so sure I like the contents of the link posted by Gonzie. It seems to be saying that Tweetie 2 for Mac also will be completely free and they will be doing away with a paid version which likely means there could be ads (maybe not), but with the macheist nanobundle I bought I recieved the ad free version. I of course don't know what will happen with Tweetie 2, but I hope whatever does happen is good.

What bothers me is that Twitter's move here has totally deflated the motivation of other Twitter client developers, meaning those of us who never did get what they want from Tweetie will now probably never get what we want as Twitter change the API more and our favourite client doesn't move with it. I can't see why Twitter have done this other than to get seriously 'My bat, My ball' with it and kill a lot of other apps. This is happening on the Mac desktop now, not just the iPhone (which I don't have).
Not in the least impressed here.
The Optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds, the Pessimist fears this is true.

What it we all get a free, awesome Twitter client that actually works reliably well and gets consistently updated? Then will you all be impressed?
I can sense your fear, but do not be afraid because by that time there will be something else to complain about and the balance of the forums will remain skewed towards whiners.

People... remember that Tweetie for IPHONE was acquired, and not the one for the Mac!

Tweetie for the Mac was also acquired, although it will apparently keep the name "Tweetie."

It will be free (ad-supported). There will be no paid ad-free version.

If you pay me 5000$, will I build you a house on the moon in an estimated four weeks? Yes!
If, in six weeks, you have asked me, why you still haven't received your keys and ask me if I'm still building, I will reply? Yes!

Can you possibly be more of a dick today? I counted 3 posts like this from you today but maybe I missed some. I suggest you get some fresh air or something.

Got some... now what about Tweetie? Since he knows (because of his "obvious evidence"), why don't you?
Sorry but I had to say this one last thing... I leave you all now to your business...

You would have been better off saying nothing.

All you need to do is summon your staff of dicks and we'll take care of this.

Nah it's all good. I've seen parents let their kids ride out their tantrums and then they calm down and go to sleep soon after. This is the best way to handle johnnybdot. He'll wake up all refreshed and bright-eyed once he gets it all out of his system. He's really a good boy... just a bit colicky.

If you pay me $5000 to build a house on the moon in four weeks, will I build it? No. Building a house on ground takes months, and it takes more than a briefcase of money to do it as well
