Twitter Picks Less Innovative For “Official” App
Good news for the guys at Atebits in the form of 401k and dental discounts, but bad news for the rest of us who prefer other Twitter apps that are not “official”.
Twitter has just announced that it has acquired Atebits, the company behind the Tweetie iPhone app and Mac desktop application.
In a blog post, Twitter CEO Evan Williams announced the move to acquire Tweetie and its creator, Loren Brichter. There is no word yet as to what Twitter will do with Tweetie, but it’s almost certain that the app will become the basis for Twitter’s official iPhone app.
One of the best things about Twitter has been the fact that there is no “official” Twitter anything when it comes to applications. The fact they chose Tweetie over Twittelator Pro shows they weren’t truly interested in focusing on innovative of killer apps.
Twittelator Pro is, and has been, the best Twitter app for the iPhone since I got my iPhone, and believe me, I have tried them all.
Boo on you Twitter for making anything “official”. That doesn’t mean it’s the best.
