Nambu: A Mac Twitter Client with a Distinct OS X Look and Feel
Nambu is an attempt to bring the world of Twitter and instant messaging clients together in one streamlined application. It is a free Twitter client designed specifically for Mac users, offering a unique OS X look and feel.
Nambu supports multiple Twitter accounts, timelines, mentions, and direct mentions in single or separate streams. It also allows you to create Twitter Groups, enabling you to separate people or services into separate categories so you never miss a tweet. One standout feature of Nambu is its threaded approach to @mentions, which organizes conversations you are having in one place, along with the original tweet.
In addition to its messaging features, Nambu offers an excellent keyword search tool to see what people are saying about a particular theme. It also has integrated tr.im support for URL shortening. One of the standout features of Nambu is its automatic translation tool, which enables you to follow tweets in other languages.
While Nambu offers a plethora of features and preferences, it may feel overwhelming for beginners compared to simpler clients like Tweetie. However, for "power" Twitter users, Nambu is far better and has the advantage of not featuring random free advertisements like the free version of Tweetie.
Overall, Nambu is an excellent Twitter client for Mac users who want a highly customizable and free OS X look and feel. It is ideal for those who value a streamlined interface and a range of advanced features.
