Tapbots releases public alpha of the long awaited Tweetbot for Mac Despite the warnings and the ominous sign that Twitter is closing up its ecosystem to external developers, the team at Tapbots is going ahead with the Mac version of Tweetbot. When Twitter acquired Tweetie in 2010, Tapbots was in the middle of working on Tweetbot. The team then took a pause to assess the situation but eventually forged ahead and went on to develop the app that has since become one of the most beloved and popular apps among iOS users. That blog post from 2010 seems eerily applicable today, with the recent announcement from Twitter and the release of Twitter’s latest mobile apps which no longer show which app is used to send individual tweets, but which a much more grim outlook. Since the official Mac app has been left alone for over a year as Twitter focuses on its revenue efforts and mobile apps, Tweetbot for Mac may have a chance of surviving but unfortunately it seems that it may not be too long before Twitter shuts down access to third party apps that replace their own.
