We have added Echofon for Mac to our Echofon family. You can now enjoy the simple and clean beauty of Echofon on your Mac desktop.

Echofon for Mac:

• is a fully native Mac application
• is easy to use, just like other Echofon applications
• supports sync with Echofon Pro for iPhone. You are only shown tweets you haven’t read yet, no matter where you read them

Currently the sync works only with the pro version of Echofon for iPhone, but we are planning to make it available in the free version of Echofon for iPhone in the near future. Since Echofon (formerly known as TwitterFon and TwitterFox) has been downloaded more than five million times to date, we have to be extra careful in rolling out the sync feature so that our sync server works as smoothly as possible.

Echofon for Mac is free while in beta. The full release and pricing will be announced later this year. You can download beta version from http://echofon.com/twitter/mac/

For the instruction to enable sync, please go to http://echofon.com/push-sync-guide.html

We hope you will enjoy Echofon for Mac. Please let us know what you think!

Here are the answers to the questions many of you have recently asked: Q. Can I sync multiple Echofon for Firefox? A. Yes, if you have Echofon Pro on your iPhone. For example, you can sync one Echofon Pro with two Echofon for Firefox. Q. Is there a plan to support push notifications on the free version of Echofon? A. Yes, the system will work a bit differently. We will announce more details soon. Q. I don't have an iPhone but want to sync between desktop Echofon's. A. It's not currently possible but we are working on a way of doing it. This will likely be available around the same time as push notifications for the free version of Echofon. Q. The interval for push notifications is too long. A. We chose the current interval to make sure the push works well. As the service becomes more stable, it is possible for us to shorten it on our server. However, the optimal interval depends on the balance between the server load and the number of users. Part of the consideration is the amount of traffic we send to Twitter's servers. We think the current interval works well in most cases. Q. How soon is the Mac version coming? A. We'll see :) There may be some good news later this week.

TechCrunch had an article about our name change, which the writer MG Siegler called odd, but we are glad he seemed to like the new features. Some of the statistics in the article were not really up-to-date and here are more recent numbers.

• TwitterFon and TwitterFox have been downloaded over five million times
• Daily active for TwitterFox was close to 500k, and TwitterFon 400k before the name change

OK, now I have to get back to work ;)
