Added, will get to it soon. Let me know if you know which apps support it as it will save me time. Thanks
Believe it or not - none of the Mac clients I tested supported longer tweets.
Though some of their mobile counterparts do...
I use the Twitter official app.
Tried Tweetbot for a while, but then I realised I don't need all the functions to tweet.
I also think Tweetbot is way overpriced at £12.99.

Tweetbot is very nice. However, I bought it so I could easily sync with my iPhone and iPad. That does not work well when using TweetMarker. I reported this several times (since the beta version) but so far it hasn't been solved (I have given up on syncing by TweetMarker because of this).
As for syncing through iCloud: most of the time this works very nice, but when I haven't used Tweetbot on my iMac for more than a day syncing does not work.
For the price I paid I expect a perfect working Twitter client.

I've been adding to my comparison of Mac desktop Twitter clients: http://bit.ly/mactwitter which makes for interesting reading. It became obvious that Echofon for Mac will be sorely missed on my computer.
So, I set about customising a Chrome Application Shortcut (site specific browser) to look and work a bit like Echofon for Mac. To achieve this and provide missing features I am using user styles, user scripts and browser extensions.
Today I got to a position where I am now using the app myself every day, which is really satisfying.
In the near future I plan to Open Source the bundle, which can be installed alongside Chrome like any normal app.
Here's a screenshot:

I think they're discontinuing TweetDeck, but you can use the website or the Chrome packaged web app version.
Hi, I'm new here and I've been lurking this thread for a while now since I can't seem to find a decent twitter client after YoruFukurou updated (it was the perfect client to me, but I'm running on a 32-bit processor and it won't support 64-bit apps). I found out about Saezuri with Matt's sheet so thank you for that it still has flaws though, especially auto-complete. I tried Twitterrific, Hibari, the official app, Itsy, and everything the official app store has that both works on Snow Leopard and with the new API, but none of them has all of the functions YoruFukurou had, so in short... do you know about any app that could work? I tried the Air-based ones like DestroyTwitter but the developers either don't wanna work on an update or they're simply unreachable. I'm waiting for an update for Hibari, hoping that it keeps running on 32-bit.
Thank you very much!!

Thank you!! I've tried it and it seems cool
I don't know how to configure it though. Like, how do I add filters? Clicking on the in-browser configuration tab with Stylish and the other extensions gives me no results, as in there are no scripts loaded... should I download them?Thanks again
DDEDIT: wait I think I got the gist of it. AMAZING! THANK YOU!!!

Glad you got it.
I guess it helps if you're familiar with Chrome. Styles are currently through Stylish, scripts through Tampermonkey, extensions through browser. It's one giant hack, really. But it works for me.
I'd be interested what extra configuration you are doing? I can look to build it in.

Yep I use Chrome daily but I never installed Stylish or Tampermonkey and I don't exactly know how they work. Anyway I checked all the scripts in Tampermonkey's dashboard and activated them, then tried to set a filter for a random word on the twitter feed (by modifying the script code) but apparently it doesn't work. Anyway yeah, it's really neat
I wasn't really configuring anything, I just didn't see the "dashboard" button where all the scripts are stored haha
It's a very good one, with many options. Hopefully you like it.
Seems very promising. Thank you, again.
It's also worth noting that Echofon for Mac has returned from the dead and is now being supported again.

I like Tweetbot because it basically eliminates the need to ever go on the Twitter website since it contains nearly every function from there on the app. However it isn't that smooth for some reason and I think it's because of how much stuff is crammed into the application? Twitter for Mac is like butter and looks less cluttered, but it's a little too basic.
By the way the Saezuri developer is going to release version 2 this summer which will be built from the ground up. Can't wait to try it! also Hibari is getting an update (idk when).
Just a heads up for the people who can't install OSX 10.7 or 64-bit apps.

Saezuri is a adobe air client.
I don't understand? I mean, yes, it runs with Air, but it's a Twitter client. I really don't know what you mean, I'm sorry!
