Eventbox is a really cool app that supports Facebook also. I prefer it to Nambu.

@Jan: Thanks for the link to Mimo Monitors - I'd never heard of them. Really interesting concept.

If AIR applications support Dock updates then it's too bad TweetDeck hasn't added that yet.

Adobe Air applications can update the dock; Spaz does. If the application doesn't, it's because they didn't think to do it, not because they can't.

I'm using ada right now because it's small. The problem with so many twitter applications now is they take up HUGE amounts of screen space for no good reason. I've got all my IM/chat/twitter stuff on my 7" MIMO (http://www.mimomonitors.com/) so I can't afford something enormous like tweetdeck.

I've tried out Spaz, Tweetdeck, ada, Bluebird, Twhirl, twitterific and a bunch of others, and so far Ada's the best compromise of size and functionality, twhirl is the best one all around, and spaz is a close runner up, with only a few annoying behaviours. But it'll update the dock icon like you want. :)

I don't use Twitter as aggressively as others, so I find that the Firefox plug-in, TwitterFox, handles much of my Twitter needs. I'll probably download Nambu, as more robust search functions would be nice...but for multiple accounts and just keeping track of the limited number of people/organizations I follow on Twitter, TwitterFox does the job...and since the majority of my time is spent in the Firefox browser, it's nice to have Twitter and my browser all in one.

@Bill Vangen: I figured that out as well, the problem is without any descriptive information I'm not a big fan of downloading DMG files and blindly installing them. Yeah, nice "cool" factor but hardly inspiring me to install it.

I had the same problem with the Bluebird site, but discovered by clicking on the "Bluebird" you could download the beta.

Thanks Neil. Apparently Bluebird is a Twitter client, though I'm not confident enough in the web site to try it out just yet. Come on, put SOMETHING in there to tell me what it is!

Although it's not publicly available yet, the developer of Tweetie for iPhone is working on a Mac client. If he stays true to form, it should be cracking.
