Tweetbot for Mac’s latest alpha adds experimental ‘snap-together’ column layout

Tweetbot for Mac Alpha version adds 'snaptogether' experimental column layout

Tweetbot‘s been offering a rough-around-the-edges alpha version on its upcoming refresh for a few weeks now, but it’s the latest update that’s caught our attention — again. There’s several substantial changes that could tempt you away from other desktop Twitter clients. These include a new multiple account view, with separate columns that can either be docked to your main feed or left in their own window. You can spin out mentions and search results into their own space, and even adjust each column’s height and width — if you’re looking to squeeze even more Twitter content into a single screen. A new menu bar icon offers access to your multiple accounts, new tweets, direct messages and mentions, while the latest build also improves support for media upload and Mountain Lion‘s notification bar. Tweetbot’s alpha is still free to try for now, but once the kinks are eventually worked out, expect to pay for the finished article.

TweetDeck updates webbased client with sleeker profiles, enhanced mentions and hashtags

Now that yesterday’s sudden Twitter outage is behind us, it’s now time to focus on the blue bird’s own, and very popular client, TweetDeck. The all-you-can-tweet service has quietly updated its internet-based client with some minor, but rather eye-pleasing tweaks. For starters, users profiles have received a slight design improvement for an overall “cleaner” look, while hashtags and mentions are now #clickable throughout TweetDeck’s web offering. These changes are now live, so head over to the TD site, enter your microblogging credentials and you should be all set to give ’em a whirl.

It’s available right now for Windows, OS X, online and as a Chrome app — there’s even an informative video available after the break.
