Ever since OS X Lion, Apple has been integrating various social media services into the OS, allowing you to more easily use the services from other Mac apps.

With the advent of OS X Mountain Lion, Apple added a Shared Links sidebar to Safari that lets you see tweets and links from people you follow on Twitter. The Shared Links Safari sidebar isn’t a full-fledged Twitter client; you’ll still need to use the Twitter web site, or a Twitter client, such as Twitterrific, to create posts.
But for just monitoring tweets or retweeting recent Twitter activity, the Safari Shared Links sidebar is pretty convenient.
