No one has been spared from the inveigling clutch of twitter. There are already hundreds if not thousands of competitive twitter clients available for Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, Windows Phone or any other platform. The recent revelation of Tweetbot for Mac has only exacerbated the competition to win the title of the best twitter clients for Mac. Just a few days ago everyone (including us) was talking about a simple bookmarklet for Safari that sends the site title and link to Twitter for Mac (Tweetie 2). Last night, I even found a Safari extension that did the same thing but also adds a tweet option in the contextual menu (right click) within.
