This week, Apple announced a new section of the iTunes Store that showcases the top entries from 2008. We were humbled to discover that our very own Twitterrific, for reading and posting to Twitter, is listed among the top 10 Social Networking favorites for the year.
Without a doubt, Twitterrific’s success is a combination of the explosive popularity of Twitter as well as the hard won efforts of the gang here in Greensboro and Laguna Beach. Nonetheless, it was all of you that launched Twitterrific into the stratosphere, and for that we are grateful.
The year ahead holds exciting changes for the little Blue Bird that could. If you are curious about where development is heading, then be sure to visit Furbo.org and check out Craig’s post on the subject. If you are heading to San Francisco in January, be sure to also stop by our kiosk in the Apple Developer Pavilion at Macworld. You can grab free Twitterrific goodies and maybe even hobnob with the man behind the bird himself. Good times, thanks everyone!
