Nambu native Twitter client for Mac

I posted my first impressions on my blog. While the "things I want" list is the longest, I'm definitely impressed with Nambu and hope it matures into something even better.

I tried Nambu and saw some real promise, but had to bench it for bugs that made it completely unusable. Aside from crashing somewhat regularly, which for a beta I'm ok with, I couldn't get the app to let go of a search view in the single pane view. I'll check it out when it hits 1.0, as it did have some neat aspects.

For now I'm using Lounge, which is also beta and crashes sometimes, but at least I can change views and not get stuck

I reviewed Nambu and it gave me a lot of trouble, but it's got one glaring error when dealing with multiple accounts.

My review:

I'm itching to see Tweetie for the Mac. I currently use Seesmic Desktop.

Nambu looks interesting but all I get is the spinning beachball ;(

Wow, Nambu stopped responding and crashed within 10 seconds of logging into my account, with fans blazing away. I never even got the chance to press a button. I know it's just a beta, but jeez. Bye-bye.

I liked Nambu when I tried it for awhile but got sick of the inevitable app hang which would require a force-quit. I hope they're working on that. The short-URL preload thing is a great feature.

Another thing I disliked was the too-many clicks required to launch a URL within a tweet. All other clients I've tried only need one click whether the app even has focus or not. I dislike resource-intensive AIR apps like Tweetdeck and Twhirl but so far those are the most stable and feature-rich Twitter clients. Twitteriffic is even more stable but is in dire need of a big refresh to be competitive.

Finally, the Nambu iPhone app is sort of lame, at least compared to TwitterFon which automatically segregates out @ replies and direct msgs, amongst other things that Nambu iPhone can't do.

My 2¢, worth what you paid.

Bluebird is easily the best Twitter client for mac! How has no one mentioned it? bluebirdapp.com

I have used multiple Twitter clients and this is my favorite so far. The support of groups is superior to Tweetdeck (to which it compares in many ways) in the ease of adding a person to a group in multiple ways. I will be really happy when they enable ping.fm support which is currently disabled - but will be implemented.

Though it certainly is beta and will crash - but still quite usable.

Finally a Mac Twitter client that lives up to Mac software. Twitteriffic was functional, but option poor.

I've tried them all and Nambu is the best I've used. The developers are very responsive and appear to have alot of new functionality up their sleeves.

Nambu's client for iPhone is also top notch.
