Nambu the best Twitter client for OS X


Two product discoveries in one day? Unprecedented. Since the recent flood of new people onto Twitter I have been begging for a more efficient UI for managing and reading filtered lists / groups of people I am following. Tweetdeck is popular but in my opinion falls on it's face in terms of UI and usability. Enter NamBu for OS X. It's rough around the edges and not without its problems, but is the closest thing out there to my "ideal" Twitter client. The screenshot speaks for itself. I've scrunched it down into a small window but you get the idea. The traditional view pictured is what I was after in terms of a familiar UI layout with multiple groups of sources. So far it has been fantastic. Cannot recommend it highly enough... Another recommendation is using groups on your Twitter client(s). It frees you up to follow more people and creates interesting new ways to zero in on usages beyond the typical ones.

One small side note: I have no organized hundreds of friends into similar groups on the new Facebook, Tweetdeck and now Nambu. Couldn't we just use OPML to import and export these groups the same way we do for feed readers? Re-creating them is mind-numbing.

I downloaded Nambu and immediately trashed Twitterific. Then the guy who sits behind me was all, "have you seen Destroy Twitter?" And I was all, "No. I have not."

Have you?https://destroytwitter.com/
