The Iconfactory has
announced Twitterrific 2.1 beta, a meaty upgrade to their sexy
Twitter client that brings quite a few new features and fixes. At the top of the list is support for
Growl (don't forget to adjust your Growl settings in System Preferences, not Twitterrific), as well support for multiple Twitter accounts (bust the top of the window in my screenshot), which means Twitterrific no longer shares Safari's keychain item for Twitter; it's using its own Keychain entries now. Also in the What's New text file included with the download (which I highly recommend perusing if you snag a copy) is AppleScript support, NetNewsWire integration (for tweeting headlines you're reading), drag and drop support for creating links to tweets in other applications, a slew of manually edit-able power user preferences (explained in the Read Me) and much more.
This is a great update, especially for the power Twitter users in the crowd. I've been running and tinkering with it while drafting this post and haven't run into any problems, and logging into multiple accounts works like a charm. The original Twitterrific 2.0 version is still of course available for download from
The Iconfactory, but the 2.1 beta, as far as I know, can only be grabbed from the
Twitterrific account's announcement
here.

This is a huge upgrade as far as I'm concerned. Now the only thing left that's needed is an option to show the time stamps in the window rather than having a pop-up when you hover.

Could be 2.5 or 3.0 Release. My Script Editor is getting a work out.

Ay! Still no one-click or keyboard shortcut to toggle between Friends list and Public timeline - still one of the best features of TwitterPost.
