So, the jury is still out on whether the new client will actually be ‘great’, as Twitter says, but it seems that, at the very least, it is still interested in producing native clients for non-mobile platforms. The Facebook mobile apps suck completely and hundreds of millions of people still use them. Don’t expect them to be suddenly awesome, however. I’d be very surprised if we didn’t see new versions of all of the official apps built with a native ‘frame’ displaying an embedded web view of Twitter’s stream. A major re-write of the official apps in all their forms is likely in order. If it wants the new Cards feature to become a real tool for advertisers, though, it’s going to need to do that, and soon. When the changed to its API were announced, I noted that it would have to do a much better job of building its own apps than it had currently been doing: Twitter has recently made moves to curtail the development of third-party clients in order to better control the way that people view Twitter. Rowi is an easy to use Twitter app for Windows with a clean and simple interface.

If they were to follow the Metro language closely, it would make for an interesting mixture. MetroTwit brings out the best Twitter has to offer with simple yet intuitive features.

So far it has done so on Android and iOS by enabling what is essentially a web window inside a native frame. That brings up the question of how Twitter will keep the look of the app ‘consistent’ across all of the platforms. Whether it will follow the Windows Design Language (formerly known as Metro), or be a traditional app for the desktop is unknown at this point. But what we do know is that Twitter will most likely be building in support for its expandable-Tweet Cards feature, which is friendly to media content and advertisers. As its desktop counterpart, this new Metrotwit app is also designed on Metro principles and it looks beautiful. Now, the developers behind Metrotwit has released their WinRT based Metrotwit app on Windows Store. Whether a native Windows 8 client would indicate that work will continue on the Mac app is unknown. Metrotwit is a popular twitter client for Windows and it was known for its clean Metro design.
