twitter, as a free bee is very good, especially as you can have it on the side of the screen while you pretend to work

Mac App store is hacked - http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374744,00.asp

Not being released yet though, they are waiting for it to fill with some nice juicy apps first.

This is quite cool. Already liking the Twitter app, the smoothness and integration makes it the best I've used on OSX so far.

Does the twitter app update itself with new tweets? Or does it need a manual refresh?

I'm a boner. Clicked the link, checked my software to get the App Store and I've been running 10.5 the past six months. Thought the Snow Leopard disc in the box was just a back-up.

Now downloading the App Store, at least I think I am, I could just be sending jpgs to our toaster.

Having had a good trawl around I'm actually mildly disappointed with the opening offer. Still, it's the way forward for software for al platforms, and an absolute cash machine for Apple. Again.

Yeh there isnt that must great stuff although the twitter app is nice. I guess over the next few months it will fill up with some awesome stuff and thousands of crap apps like the itunes store!

Can't remember as it was awhile ago, if I remember properly, it has a much smaller footprint, and is much faster.

Is there a way on it where when it updates it stays at the last tweet so that you can scroll up to read the new ones?

Does that automatically from what I can see. Under preferences you can select it to automatically scroll to the latest tweet so you might have that enabled.
