Theo, Just now when I was searching around for a Mac client I came across a few months ago, I found this site: http://www.searchtastic.com/ which allows you to export Twitter data directly to Excel. This could have saved me so many headaches during our data collection a few months ago. The only downside that I can see is that it doesn't export every column from the Twitter API. But if you only need the Tweets and minimal user data, this works perfectly.

Message-ID: <1270879087.b0f57d4Z1593072@students.niu.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Fellow Twitter researchers, My frustration with data collection has reached the point at which I am sending a plea for help. I have been unable to locate a Twitter feed export app for Mac OS. There are loads of great programs like BMS Twitter Export for PCs, but if you're on a Mac, it seems nothing's out there. Seesmic allows me to read and search from multiple feeds and organize them in certain ways, but I cannot export them as an Excel or Word file. Since I need the time stamp from four months ago, (yeah, I'm behind in my data collection) it's clunky and unusable. I'm collecting data from 250+ distinct feeds and I'm doing it as low tech as possible: visiting each feed, scrolling through hundreds of tweets to get the data I need, and then copying and pasting in a Word file. The data is placed into a table for me to devour, code, and tabulate at my leisure. If anyone has any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
