Things Tweetie 2 needs to have to make up for the months of darkness

Let’s face it, we all thought Tweetie 2 was abandonware, but with the announcement on Macheist that a private bate is opening up soon for those who bought the bundle, it will finally see the light of day!

Now, a while back I moved away from the whole Tweetie system, iPhone app and Mac application, and over to Echofon. I paid for the full iPhone version and have been beta testing the Mac version, and let me tell you, it is pretty much wonderful. So here is a list of things Tweetie 2 needs to do for me to move back over blindly. (I will probably try it out for a few days either way, but ticking some of the boxes here would make the choice easier.)

1. Syncing between the iPhone and Mac applications. This is one of thise features that I didn’t know I needed until I found it with Echofon. It’s pretty wondeful, and allows you to pick up exactly where you left off on either your Mac or Iphone without having to do endless scrolling. This should also work across all the Macs you own.

2. All the new Twitter features like RTs, Lists, geotagging and such

3. Push updates on the iPhone. I know it’s not a feature of a Mac application, but this will be important for bringing me back into the whole Tweetie ecosystem.

4. We should be able to log into bit.ly and such so that shortened links go into our bit.ly accounts.

So there are my top four wants for Tweetie 2. I suppose I will have to wait until next month when I hopefully get into the beta like Macheist said I would. Hopefully they have learnt from the Cha-Ching mess though. Several years later I’m still awaiting my beta for that.
