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.

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