atebits: An Amazing Ride →
Once upon a time I wanted a better Twitter app for my iPhone, so I wrote one. My goal was to make something simple, beautiful, and intuitive. It’s been a wild ride since 1.0, and over the last year and a half Tweetie has gone from a no-name app from a little known software company to an app hailed…

Hard to say. Perhaps I should use this valuable time to work on a custom theme. We’ll see.
