Jeremy Stanley put together an overview of all the major releases, from Tweetie 1.0 in November 2008 all the way through to Twitter for iPhone 4.0 yesterday.

Yeah, so I’ve been fiddling with the new Twitter iPhone app for all of 30 minutes, but I’m in agreement with Stephen on his likes and dislikes of the app so far. Too bad they removed the “swipe-on-a-tweet” feature, it was one of the best parts of the old Tweetie.

Since they’ve been buried under the “Me” tab. Oy.

And hey, speaking of new iPhone apps, Flipboard released their iPhone version just yesterday. I downloaded it last night and it’s very well done.

A look at the new design for the Twitter website (which will be rolling out to current users over the next two weeks). It hasn’t rolled out to my account yet, but from looking at the video and the screenshots the new design looks great to me. I love the clever design for the new tweet icon.

Version 4.0 of the iOS app is now live as well. The iPhone version is significantly updated; the iPad version is the same as it was.

From the perspective of a long-time Twitter user, I love the way I can give an iPhone app access to my Twitter account by one tap.

Speaking of business models.

It’s not hard to name a few products that are just great but which have yet to establish a business model despite their growth and popularity. Instagram and Tumblr both come to my mind as prime examples. Stamped does not have a business model either.

This is a great software bundle. I use Fantastical, BusyCal, and LaunchBar every single day. From my point of view, the price is worth it for those apps alone.

(Note: if you grab the bundle via this link then I’ll get a $3 kickback from the guys running the bundle. Of course, I’d be linking to it anyways if only to help promote continued adoption of LaunchBar.)

Mac Slocum has an interview with Clay Johnson that gives some food for thought (no pun intended). The interview is about Johnson’s upcoming new book, The Information Diet. The thesis of Johnson’s book is that the problem of “personal information overload” does’t lie in the plethora of incoming information streams (news, media, blogs, entertainment, etc.), nor does it lie in us using the wrong “tools” to take in all that information. Rather, the problem primarily lies with us and our bad habits:

In other words, we don’t suffer from information overload — we suffer from information overconsumption and poor consumption habits. The solution is just as simple as a successful food diet. It’s about building habits and healthy choices for yourself, and sticking to it.

David Sparks wrote this piece for Macworld back in October. Basically he preemptively laid out why my old-school workflow that used Save As is now extinct and to just move on with things already.

I know this is true. My main gripe with “Save As” being replaced with “Duplicate” in the menu bar has more to do with the missing keyboard shortcut than anything.
