Twitter on a G4 or a G5

2013-01-19 Thread smac0031 
It unfortunately has come to this. It looks like I need to join Twitter. I 
have a DA G4 with 10.411 or a G5 10.5 whatever. What do i need to run 
Twitter by spending the least amount of money possible.
Thanks,
Mark Murphy

What makes you think that you need to spend any amount of money "to run 
Twitter" from a DA G4 or G5?



You must already have "Internet connection," the Twitter requirement, in order 
to send the above message to the G-Group.

LOL.  ug.  I know the feeling.  But I've actually grown to like 
Twitter sortof, via Adium, although I'm mostly just a lurker.

Twitter primarily uses a web interface and JavaScript - just about 
any browser will do.  Don't be upset at its abysmally slow speed, 
it's usually slow, regardless of how fast your computer and network 
connection be.


I donno of any direct clients for it, that run on Tiger.  But for 
Leopard... Check out Adium.  It's a wonderful free open-source 
multi-IM client.  Version 1.4 added Twitter support.  Every Mac gotta 
have The Duck.

Mostly all I have heard about Twitter involves apps where you have to go to 
the app store. 
Thanks for the help.

Twitter apps are just clients; Twitter is ultimately a web service.

Given that Twitter is cracking down on clients, it would probably be better
to use a web browser anyway.

Now I understand! Twitter wants to become irrelevant like MySpace by going 
the way of Apple. Twitter will decrease it's market relevance the way Apple 
did in the 80's by ending the manufacturing relationship they had with 
companies like Franklin Computer. The result of which was the decline of 
Apple's business market share and giving almost the entire business market 
to the PC. Glad to see that Apple's lesson has not been affected Twitter!
