Temporary, Growl Plugin for Tweetie for Mac

• 

Now, I’m using amazing awesome twitter client, Tweetie for Mac thouth, I can’t wait a growl-enabled Tweetie for Mac…!

Hacking with TweetieHack!

I made a quick hack plugin to enable Growl feature for Tweetie for Mac!

As you know, the author of Tweetie for mac said: we are planing to implement it on Tweetie.app so, It is very temporal plugin so far. Enjoy!

Update of TweetieHack

The latest TweetieHack 0.2.0 supports Tweetie 1.1 and enhances its Growl notification. It puts tweeters’ name to notification title, show up to 5 recent tweets with tweeters’ icon, etc.

As next section, enabling Growl notification is completed by Tweetie itself but I decide to update this plugin for who want to use TweetieHack like notification with Tweetie 1.1. (Update May 10, 2009)

Update of Tweetie

Tweetie 1.1 has Growl ability! This plugin is no longer needed for enabling Growl notification.

You can enable Growl notification from “Nofitication Options…” button inside Account panel of Preferences. (Update May 5, 2009)
