I am really looking forward to this update.[^f2948].
[^f2948]: An update that I never thought would actually come.

This is Harry Marks at his best.[^fn1] I love it when he does posts like this. Even the title is great.
[^fn1]: Well, most things that Harry does are pretty good. Please do not take this to mean I have any doubts about his fiction writing, either. I am really looking forward to reading some of his stuff.
Tweetbot 3 is [now available in the App Store](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tweetbot-3-for-twitter-iphone/id722294701?mt=8)[^fn1]. It is a separate app from the previous version and costs $2.99.

This is probably the last Twitter client that most people will ever buy and it’s [now available in the Mac App Store](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Ftweetbot-for-twitter%252Fid557168941%253Fmt%253D12%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f5557].

*Tapbots* has released a version of their *Tweetbot* Client for [App.net](http://alpha.app.net), aptly named:*Netbot*. It comes in both [iPhone](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fnetbot-for-iphone-app.net%252Fid563595132%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f5409] and [iPad](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fnetbot-for-ipad-app.net-client%252Fid563596528%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30) versions. Though I have really been enjoying [Felix](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Ffelix-for-app.net%252Fid562447652%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30) as an iPhone App.net client, I think I am going switch over to Netbot.

You cannot add new accounts though due to [Twitter’s new API restrictions](http://www.marco.org/2012/08/16/twitter-api-changes)[^fn1].
[^fn1]: As [The Beard](http://www.loopinsight.com/2012/08/31/tweetbot-for-mac-beta/) says “Amazing that these developers are still trying to improve their apps and Twitter can’t release an update for their piece of s\#$t app.”
The money quote:
> The developers have tried to work with Twitter to come up with a way to have the alpha not eat up the limited amount of slots available to them, but says that Twitter has been uncooperative.
Shocker.
Really nice update. Little tip about the new “docking” columns from [The Next Web](http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/08/03/bye-bye-tweetdeck-tweetbot-for-macs-new-alpha-has-multiple-docking-timelines-a-menu-bar-icon-and-more/?awesm=tnw.to_e2xH):
> If you’d like to create a large Tweetdeck-like interface that lets you move them all around at once, you’re in luck, because you can now dock the windows together. To do so, hover a window next to the right edge of the one previous and let go, they’ll snap right together. To pull a window off, move your cursor to the bottom of the rightmost timeline and grab the undocking handle, dragging it off and to the right.
The advancements in Tweetbot mean I am going to be really sad when Twitter cuts off third party clients.
Tapbots just released the public alpha. Since it’s an alpha build, I assume there will be some rough edges, but I’m giving a shot as my primary Twitter client.
