Or so it would appear from this tweet he sent out on Monday afternoon. Brichter, of course, is the mastermind behind the Tweetie iPhone app, which was subsequently purchased by Twitter and repackaged as their default Twitter client. But who knows what other concoction Brichter has cooking up in the labs, Tweetie for the iPad perhaps?

It’s verified and good to go. Apple’s Senior VP of iOS software, Scott Forstall, is up on Twitter and as of now is only following one person, Conan O’Brien. Apple is notorious about keeping Apple employees from blogging and the like, so it’ll be interesting to see what Scott ends up using his Twitter account [...]

The alway eloquent Roger Ebert has pulled a complete 180 on Twitter. No longer a critic, he’s now a fan. And an addicted one, at that. I vowed I would never become a Twit. Now I have Tweeted nearly 10,000 Tweets. I said Twitter represented the end of civilization. It now represents a part of the [...]

The New York Times, largely regarded as the “newspaper of record” here in the United States, is putting the clamp down on the use of the word “tweet” in news articles. Phil Corbett, who assumed the role as the Times’ standards editor back in 2009, sent out a memo to employees yesterday explaining why the [...]

Back in April, Loren Brichter’s award winning Twitter client Tweetie was acquired by Twitter. As part of the deal, it was announced Tweetie 2 would eventually be renamed “Twitter for iPhone” and that it would soon become the default mobile Twitter client from Twitter - all for free, mind you. And now it appears that that [...]

With all the hubbub surrounding the iPad and which apps were going to be available on launch day, one popular iPhone app was conspicuously absent from the discussion - Tweetie. Tweeie is, in my opinion, the best Twitter client for the iPhone and the Mac. Developed by former Apple engineer Loren Brichter, Tweetie has won an [...]

Tuesday, February 9, 2010
For as much of a public showman as Steve Jobs is, he is a notoriously private person, and his obsession with privacy clearly seeps into the culture at Apple where unannounced products are never talked about and product leaks are handled with utmost severity. The latest and greatest product to emerge from Cupertino is the iPad, [...]

Thursday, December 31, 2009
It’s a slow news day for Apple here on New Year’s Eve, so we thought we’d hit you guys up with some offbeat news in the form of an actual twitter app for users still running Mac OS 6 through OS 9. System 6?! Now do these people still exist? Well, legend has it that [...]

If you happen to have an iPhone and/or a Mac (which I assume you do, because, well, why else would you be reading this?) and use Twitter, than you best be using Tweetie, arguably the best Twitter app currently available for the iPhone. Tweetie 2 launched not to long ago, and Tweetie developer Loren Brichter [...]

Apple isn’t exactly the most social media friendly company around, and while some companies embrace social media as a means to generate buzz and hype for upcoming products, Apple won’t hesitate to sue bloggers for posting product information before they’re publicly announced. All of which makes Apple’s recent foray into Twitter a pleasant surprise. Apple recently [...]

Tuesday, July 21, 2009
Last week, it came to light that a large number of sensitive and internal Twitter documents had been compromised and sent to the tech news site TechCrunch. Over the course of a few days, TechCrunch selectively published a decent amount of moderately interesting information. But even more interesting than the content of the stolen information [...]
