The shiny goodness that is the Iconfactory's Twitterrific has been officially revved to version 3.1, adding new features and bugfixes to the $14.95/ad-supported freeware Twitter client for the Mac. The new version has added 'teh snappy' to improve performance and reduce user kvetching, always an important design goal.If you've got comments or questions about Twitterrific, or indeed any of the Iconfactory's projects or products, then you'll be happy to know about this Sunday's talkcast -- IF dudes Gedeon Maheux and Craig Hockenberry will be our special guests, live at 10 pm ET March 2nd on Talkshoe. For everyone who wants to know the secrets of icon design, iPhone development or how to make things pretty, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

New features in Twitterrific v. 3.1 include:
- Growl notifications are now sorted correctly and summarized
- New keyboard shortcuts and action menu on tweets
- Changing logins on Leopard will no longer hang
- Status message updates now work correctly with Adium 1.2
- Plugged memory leaks that slowed Twitterrific down over time

The new version is buggy...
1. It doesn't show up on my dock.
2. Dragging the icon to the dock doesn't recognize when the software is on.
3. It doesn't automatically advance to the newest tweets where as 3.0.1 does.
It feels like a downgrade to me.

Wei, be sure to check the "What's new" file when you download a new version of Twitterrific.
You need to turn on the dock icon in the general prefs for it to show up.
Check the "tweets" tab under preference for new scrolling behaviors.
Hope this helps.

I guess I spoke too soon... but why would they default to disabling common Mac app settings?
