When Mac app bundlers MacHeist included Tweetie for Mac in their NanoBundle2 last year, they promised purchasers early beta access to Tweetie 2. That promise got complicated when Twitter acquired Tweetie and hired its developer, Loren Brichter, to work on the official Twitter iPhone app. Tweetie for Mac seemed to be dead.Well, now that Tweetie has been reborn as the official Twitter for Mac app, Brichter hasn't forgotten about the MacHeist customers. Anyone who bought NanoBundle2 can click on Twitter for Mac's help menu and hold down CTRL-Option-Cmd to access a super secret preferences menu and get exclusive beta updates.
The Super Secret preferences tab includes options like an "avatar timeline depreater" that stops Twitter from loading the same avatar over and over on a user profile timeline, a "type anywhere" setting for sending new tweets, and a link color picker. There's also a tantalizing "check back for pre-release info" message at the bottom of the prefs screen. Ooh!
This is great news for MacHeist customers, but there's a possibility that Apple won't take kindly to secret features slipping into a Mac App Store app.
