Beak: A Mac Twitter Client

Beak is a Twitter client for the Mac OS X platform. It is a rival to the popular Tweetie, which is available for the Mac along with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Although it is still in beta, Beak is stylish, good at doing its job and keeps you up to date with all of your Twitter notifications.

In comparison to Tweetie, Beak is free and offers similar functionality once logged in. Beak is still in its beta stages, where Tweetie has only one version out for Mac and I'm longing for the next version of Tweetie to be released. 

One function I would like to change in Beak is the time display. Currently it shows the time the tweet was sent and not how long ago it was sent. If you have a Mac and would like to download and try Beak for Mac, the download link can be found here, along with additional information on the client.

Enjoy

Google Chrome Web Browser Beta for Linux/Mac

Google today announced the public release of the beta version of Google's web browser "Chrome" for Linux and Mac users. As usual I jumped on the bandwagon and went and downloaded it for my Mac. So farm so good is what I can say. I've been using it for a couple hours and it seems clean, fast and simple to use. It's much like Chrome for Windows. When I first opened it up, it asked me if I would like to import my bookmarks from Safari and there was a drop down menu to select different browsers  to import the bookmarks. It took just seconds, and it imported them all correctly and without a problem. I would not recommend downloding this onto a every day machine in case it might mess things up, but I highly doubt it would. More info and where you can download it from is available here: http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac&hl=en

Safari Beta 4 Available

Earlier today, Apple released Safari Beta 4 for both Mac and PC, which you can download here.

A summary of the new features include: (Summary by MacRumors)

-Top Sites, a display of frequently visited pages in a stunning wall of previews so users can jump to their favorite sites with a single click;

-Full History Search, where users search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages to easily return to sites they've seen before;

-Cover Flow, to make searching web history or bookmarks as fun and easy as paging through album art in iTunes;
-Tabs on Top, for better tabbed browsing with easy drag-and-drop tab management tools and an intuitive button for opening new ones;
-Smart Address Field, that automatically completes web addresses by displaying an easy-to-read list of suggestions from Top Sites, bookmarks and browsing history;
-Smart Search Field, where users fine-tune searches with recommendations from Google Suggest or a list of recent searches;
-Full Page Zoom, for a closer look at any website without degrading the quality of the site's layout and text;
-Developer Tools- built-in web developer tools to debug, tweak and optimize a website for peak performance and compatibility; and
-Windows-native lookin Safari for Windows, that uses standard Windows font rendering and native title bar, borders and toolbars so Safari fits the look and feel of other Windows XP and Windows Vista applications.

The most interesting to me is the new "Top sites" page that will display a number of your top visited websites in a dashboard like manner.
