Great post. Note that I’m trying to get the the collective decision making of the Twitterverse together to answer which is the best overall Twitter client. If possible, weigh in here:

I hear great things about Nambu, and would love to get in on the action! So far, no luck. However, I did slide a tweet over to @nambucom to see if it would be possible to get a beta code. Currently a user of Tweetie, but I'd like to see Facebook and Twitter combined in one client with a sleek mac interface.

Is Eventbox the same as Socialite? They look identical! I've found with all the Mac clients that I can't find one that will autofill my mentions (as echofon on the iPhone does). Do any of these do that?

Socialite used to be Eventbox as far as i can tell.

Really? You're that attached to PPC? Then be prepared for the rest of the world to leave you in the dust. sorry, but PPC's are ALL at least 3 years old now and some models are entering their fifth year of service (with the exception of 2 PowerMac G5 models). It's kind of like wanting to put fuel-injection in your '58 T-Bird. Ain't gonna happen. (And try getting that kind of life from any PC.)

I've just upgraded a few powerbooks to leopard but that's it for them PPC's. The technology in PPC is old, computer world moves really fast. I suggest if the computer is that important to you, to please save up and upgrade once the software can't do what you want anymore.
As long as the software does what you want it to do, then don't worry about it. Just use what you have but honestly, the world will never support the old tech forever. At some point you just have to upgrade.
Good luck!
