How to Quit Twitteriffic

Twitterific rocks. Its simple, cool, and once you have Growl installed, its not as annoying. Still, sometimes it goes wrong and you need to quit it. This isn't obviously apparent as applications which sit in the menubar don't show up in the Force Quit menu (which you get by pressing Apple+Alt+Esc).

Normally you can quit Twitterific using the Quit Twitterific command in the 'spanner' or 'wrench' menu - i.e. Settings.

But, when Twitterific crashes, or any other app for that matter, you need the Activity Monitor. For those of us who are new to Mac OS X and come from Windows, thats the same as the Task Manager you can get by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. In a Mac, its a standalone app. Search for it in Spotlight: "Activity Monitor".

There, you can find all the services running, including Twitterific, and close it there.
