On Friday, Twitter announced that it would be shutting down work on its Mac desktop app, to the dismay of, err, no one. Users have 30 days, starting on Feb. 16, before the app will no longer be supported, Twitter said. “We’re focusing our efforts on a great Twitter experience that’s consistent across platforms,” Twitter Support. “So, starting today the Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download, and in 30 days will no longer be supported.” The app hadn’t exactly been flourishing in recent years, scoring a dismal 1.7 out of 5 in the App Store.
Twitter had outsourced the development of the app to a studio in Seattle called. Some users had been hoping for a dramatic desktop update since 2015, but most have since migrated to Twitterific or Tweetbot. Others are now expressing concern that Twitter might shut down, a far more popular multi-column client.
It’s unclear what Twitter will do, since the company hasn’t always marched in step with its user base. Let the ratios tell the whole story.
We’re focusing our efforts on a great Twitter experience that’s consistent across platforms. So, starting today the Twitter for Mac app will no longer be available for download, and in 30 days will no longer be supported. — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) Prior to the app’s removal, it had a score of 1.7 out of 5, highlighting the fact that many users found the application to be frustrating. Twitter’s support for the app was never strong even in the best of times. It took more than seven months for Moments to arrive on the desktop app. Furthermore, Twitter did not even develop the app itself. In 2015, it was that the company outsourced the project to Seattle-based Black Pixel.
Those seeking an application to help them manage their Twitter account have likely already moved on to alternative services such as Tweetdeck. Despite the application’s lackluster reputation, the news was met with frustration and disappointment from some fans. Terrible news. The browser experience is nowhere near enough to replace a good App.
So you should provide even more features via the API so that good applications like and continue to provide the best experience that exists in the use of Twitter. — Antonio Fonseca (@antoniofonseca) Despite these complaints, it is unlikely that Twitter will roll back this decision. The slow update history and general lack of support suggest that Twitter believes a Mac desktop app simply isn’t a major priority for the company. ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports Kliff Kingsbury was just fired by Texas Tech after going 35-40 in five seasons.
According to Hall of Fame candidate and SiriusXM NFL Radio host Gil Brandt, Kingsbury’s phone “has been ringing off the hook” from NFL teams interested in his services, including two firm offers of employment. There was no word from Brandt on how many letters he received, or which teams had made those offers. Presumably those are for assistant coaching gigs, but with everyone looking for the next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan or Matt Nagy, you never know. Golf Digest Turner Sports announced its viewership numbers from last Friday's match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson at Shadow Creek, and though the early returns are impressive, the most startling number is the amount Turner might've lost on a processing snafu. In an interview with the Sports Business Journal, Turner president David Levy said there were 750,000 unique video views logged, and 55 million minutes consumed on B/R Live for 'The Match.' But the glitch that made the pay-per-view event free to watch potentially cost Turner a $10-million total, according to SBJ. Minutes leading up to The Match, the company lost the ability to process payments, so Turner decided to make viewing the match free for anybody who tried to purchase it. NBC Sports Boston Kevin Faulk's name popped up in the news this weekend for a reason he's probably not proud of.

Faulk, the director of player development for his alma mater, LSU, was photographed punching a young man affiliated with Texas A&M after the teams' wild seven-overtime game at Kyle Field on Saturday. Speaking Sunday in an interview with the Lafayette (La.) Daily Advertiser, Faulk confirmed reports that the man had sparked the scuffle by punching LSU offensive analyst Steve Kragthorpe, who has a pacemaker in his chest. Golf Digest Coming off his best year as a professional golfer in 2018, in which he won the Open Championship and the Quicken Loans National and went 5-0 in the Ryder Cup, Molinari is now in the “300 Club.” He averaged 301 yards off the tee on the PGA Tour last season, up from 281.6 in 2015. Molinari averaged 64.3 percent of fairways hit and finished seventh in strokes gained/off the tee. When you don’t hit it very far on the PGA Tour, you’re essentially left with a choice: Focus on the tournaments on shorter and tighter courses, or try to get longer off the tee.
