My Favorite Twitter Client, Nambu, Is Dead!

April 7 2011, 9:29am

In a sea of desktop Twitter clients, Nambu for the Mac stood out to me. It was a native OSX application which means it wasn’t written on top of a bloated, cross-platform platform like Adobe Air. It performed splendidly while not hogging system resources.But alas, all good things must come to an end. I randomly stumbled across the Nambu homepage and saw this message:Unfortunately, we are sad to announce that Nambu is no longer being actively developed. There will be no more updates, as everyone on the Nambu team has moved on to other projects.We would like to thank everyone for their past support and suggestions.All the best.Apparently they put this up in the middle of March. Nambu is still available for download (and still works for that matter) but I expect to see it crap out in a spectacular fashion some day down the line.
