Tweetbot for Mac now comes with Topics

Tweetbot updates its Mac app to add its new Topic feature, which is designed to link related tweets together in a more cohesive and easier way. You can access the feature by tapping on the gear menu in the New Tweet screen. The good thing is your tweets are stored and need iCloud so you can jump from your Mac to your iPhone or iPad to continue tweeting.

Some of the other new features include Collections support, which lets you save tweets linked together in a topic; better quote preview in the compose window; remove play/pause button for video playback and instead have clicking on the video toggle play/pause; as well as a slew of bug fixes. The direct link to the Mac App store shows the other fixes for the app.

Rawr is one of those messaging apps for youngsters that I don’t get

In the world of unusual messaging apps, Rawr Messenger is one of the more unconventional ones. It combines messaging and what looks like the Xbox avatars. But the unusual bit is you can chat with friends and random people with your avatar and input things like #kick to kick your friend or the person your chatting with in the crotch. It’s not all that brutal, though, you can prompt it to do things like #hug and strangely enough you can #twerk, too. There are other things like being able to pull out props and even make out with them. Both you and the person you’re having the conversation with can see your avatars executing the actions.

The apps version of Chatroulette isn’t as scary or possibly open to abuse as picture sharing can only be done with your friends. It’s currently out on iOS but we can’t say yet if it’s coming out on Android.

Google Chromebook to add native support for Android apps

While Chromebooks make for affordable PC options, they are limited to running web apps on Chrome. This means you run most of everything within a browser and that is quite restrictive. But according to Google’s announcement at its I/O conference in California, later this year Chrome OS will be able to run all apps and games on your Android devices. And they will run these natively to take advantage of the device’s hardware.

These apps will be running in windows so you can easily switch and use as many of them as you want—or as many as your system permits. Developers will get their hands on this new version of Chrome OS but they will need to be using a Chromebook Pixel 2, ASUS Chromebook Flip, or Acer Chromebook R11. They will add support to more devices later so all Chrome OS users will get access to it and hopefully drive sales for these Chromebooks.
