    Hopefully this is just the start of big companies developing for Windows 8. I'd love to see it succeed.

    Well, it's the perfect timing to buy Windows 8 for me then! I got it at Best Buy for $79 because of some special (usually $200 here)! :D

    Isn't there a twitter App that costs $2o?

    Edit: tweetbot for twitter for Mac. If they make it free for PC, I'm sure someone will be mad.

    TweetBot is only $20 because Twitter's new API only allows for 100,000 tokens to be distributed. So to prevent their tokens from totally being consumed in seconds, they gave it the ridiculous price tag. So, there would be much less people inclined to buy it, thus not using as many tokens.

    If this app is anything like the iOS or Android Twitter apps... It's going to suck. A lot.

    Yeah, but that is not made by Twitter.... That is made by Tapbots, not Twitter.

    There already is a good Windows 8 Twitter app called MetroTwit. Judging by Twitter's other official clients, I doubt they can do better than that.
