Also, I wish that it was a completely seperate app. I'm keeping Tweetie 2 with the cool grey logo, but it sucks that I'm just going to have to deal with having an update bother my in iTunes forever now.
Why couldn't he/they have just done the same thing with the Tweetie>Tweetie 2 change? Annoying...

Can someone please explain why people care to share their irrelevant and mundane details with the rest of the world? Never mind, scratch that.
Sorry but it's far from being the best of all as they state.
I'll stick with Twittelator pro for all the options to customize. I like a black background

Twitter is much more than people posting what they had for lunch. Yet this is always the first argument that opponents of the service go for.
Oh wow. I didn't know it was free for everyone! Well I don't regret spending the money I did on it when I bought Tweetie.
You won't be able to use Tweetie 2 past the end of June. Twitter is changing the required login process for apps at that time. All current apps will have to be updated. Since Tweetie won't ever be updated again, it will no longer work.
Me neither, I payed for Tweetie 1 & 2 and it was worth the money, Twitter did very much buy the best Twitter app in the AppStore.
No actually.. It takes u where u left off.. just tap the status bar to scroll to the top if its that big of an issue..
surely when you bought Tweetie you were buying software, and not a promise to reply to your mails and tweets? why should he have to let customers know what is in the works? some developers might do this, but they should not "have" to communicate. He's coding software, not running for political office.
It's good business. One of Apple's strongest selling points is that they're customer friendly. Hell, Steve Jobs even takes a little time here and there to type a few words in response to his customers. You're right - it's not mandatory, but it goes a long way in maintaining goodwill with your customers. But when you never communicate with them and constantly miss self-imposed deadlines, people tend to get a little upset.
This is all a moot point now that Twitter has ownership of his apps. They do a good job of communicating with the public.
This is why i don't jump on the bandwagon with these apps. Charged all of that money, and now the same app is free. Yeah, the money wasn't an arm and a leg, but people are getting for free, a product that until yesterday coated like $5.
i understand what you are saying, and agree that communication with customers is good business but you'll agree that there is a difference between one-guy-coding and a huge corp like apple. i have no idea how much money he made with his app, ie whether he could afford to employ people etc. but maybe he just did not have the resources to communicate with those who use his app. maybe he just is not the kind of person who likes communicating? either way: seems business went ok for him in the end, i presume he's made some money with this twitter deal

Once it was announced that Tweetie was purchased the app description said not to buy it as it was moving to an official, free app. Anyone who bought it after that announcement was just foolish. I bought Tweetie 1/2 last year and don't regret that its now free. Great work deserves ample reward.
