Adium 1.4 beta with Twitter support
Adium is a popular free instant messaging client for Mac OS X that supports multiple protocols through diferent libraries. What Adium isn’t, however, is a Twitter client. That’s about to change, starting with Adium’s version 1.4, with a sophisticated Twitter functionality integrated into Adium. The integration is accomplished using MGTwitterEngine, a library used to communicate with the Twitter API. While the Twitter service won’t initially be as full-featured as TweetDeck or Tweetie, it sounds like a great first attempt at replicating the basic Twitter functionality in an IM client. Download now Adium 1.4 beta.
Here’s what the service is expected to look like. You can follow us on Twitter at @appltweets.
