Twitterrific 3.1 released

The Iconfactory has announced the release of Twitterrific 3.1, an update to the application that enables users to both read and publish posts or 'tweets' to the Twitter community website. The latest release hides the cursor after selecting a tweet, correctly sorts as well as summarizes Growl notifications, adds a preference to control the scrolling of tweets in the window, and includes new keyboard shortcuts. The update also no longer allows the reply shortcut on a direct message, and a new power user preference optionally displays @screenname rather than a full name. Twitterific 3.1 is available for free, and requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later as well as a Twitter account.

Twitter accounts are available for free and take minutes to set up, according to The Iconfactory.

"Twitterrific's user interface is designed to let you view as much or as little information as you desire," the company said.

Twitterrific 3.1 shows a scrolling list of the latest tweets from either friends or public feeds, and users can show the list in a collapsed or expanded mode. The application also supports multiple Twitter accounts, automatically refreshes at user-defined intervals, displays replies as well as direct messages 'inline,' and shows the number of unread tweets in the Dock.
