Twitterrific has gone through quite a few design iterations since it first launched on the desktop three years ago.  As it progressed and evolved, we began to notice something happening with it that has ended up frustrating us, and even worse, our users.  As Twitter has grown and expanded, becoming more popular and with more third party tricks and additions, many Twitter clients have also been growing alongside (and in most cases, beyond) the main service; ending up with bad cases of feature creep and over-complexity.  Twitterrific has been affected just as much as anyone else and maintaining multiple versions has been keeping us much more busy than it should have been.  We’re in the midst of designing and planning future versions of the application for at least three very different platforms (Mac OS X, iPhone, and now iPad) it’s become increasingly obvious to us that a change is needed in order for our beloved app to remain healthy.
