Tweet Marker is getting big. I couldn’t be more excited that “Twitterrific 4.3 is now shipping”:twitterrific.com with syncing across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. “Users love it”:tweetlibrary.com/manton/tw… and many are rediscovering Twitterrific or becoming new customers just because of this feature.
More apps are coming, too. Craig Hockenberry, from a “Macworld article by Dan Moren”:www.macworld.com/article/1…
"The real value is having something that works well across the entire Twitter ecosystem. It's our belief that Tweet Marker will become more useful as more clients support it."
I struggled with how to build, price, and launch Tweet Marker. The first developers to use it are taking a risk, so I felt I had to remove the friction of supporting the service by making the API free. To cover hosting costs, I plan to later make an optional paid subscription available for developers who want more than the basics.
But we’re not there yet, and some people have asked how they can support Tweet Marker directly. As an experiment, I’ve put up a donation button over “on the Tweet Marker site”:tweetmarker.net/. Think of it as a small investment in the service, a bootstrap to get things off the ground and remove the stress of scaling.
It is not, however, a substitute for supporting client developers. Please pick up a copy of Twitterrific, and when my app Tweet Library is available with sync I hope you’ll consider that as well. Thanks!
