posted by Joe Rossignol on Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 10:51 am. Originally submitted by TechDudeGeorge Twitter today announced that it will be revamping its social networking service to make it faster and simpler to use across all platforms. As part of the upgrade, Twitter has released version 4.0 of its official Twitter for iPhone app on the App Store. “Twitter 4.0″ for iPhone is faster and simpler to use with a completely overhauled user interface. Across the bottom menu in the app are four tabs for Home, Connect, Discover, and Me. The official Twitter app remains free to download, but these new updates haven’t made their way to Twitter’s official iPad app yet. The home tab presents you with your Twitter timeline and Tweet button in the top right corner. You can favorite, retweet, or share tweets from this page as well.

Twitter has overhauled its mobile experience on the web and on the iPhone and Android and this new version aims to make Twitter a simpler and much more visually-pleasing experience. Basically, Twitter wants to make this fly. The new user interface is available now via the apps on iPhone and Android and also through a mobile browser and it lays out four icons at the bottom: Home, Connect, Discover and Me. The Home tab will show you what’s in your timeline (including photos and videos) and this experience will be consistent across all the platforms. The Connect tab shows your @ features including the mentions and conversations. The Discover pane can show your trending hashtags, as well as use geolocation to find interesting topics around you. The Me tab shows your profile information and it shows your direct messages and other information about your account. Finally, your tweet button is at Read More

Twitter for iOS 4.0 adds connect and discover features, more to iPhone only

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 18:55:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

The Twitter app for iPhone (universal) has been updated to version 4.0 to go along with changes to the web interface. However, these changes are for the iPhone alone. The iPad version will remain as is for now. The update introduces a redesign of the iPhone's interface that streamlines the iOS version of Twitter to match the announced web version, which our sister site Engadget notes is similar to changes announced for Gmail. The menu bar is divided into Home, Connect, Discover and Me sections. The Home section is the typical timeline, and selecting a tweet allows reveals who has replied to it, who has retweeted it and embedded images. The Connect section shows who has followed or mentioned you. It also shows retweets of your tweets as well as favorites. This is a feature that's popped up on the web interface in the past few weeks. You can toggle this Read More

Report: 39% of photos on Twitter posted from iOS devices

Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

According to the photo search engine Skylines, iOS devices account for 39% of all photos posted on Twitter. Of the 24 million photos posted to Twitter in the week of October 22nd to October 29th, Twitter for iPhone came in highest with 21%, Instagram accounted for 13% and the iOS 5 Camera and Photos app accounted for 5%, bringing the total to 39%. Apple's new iOS 5 introduced integrated Twitter functionality, bringing posting of photos to Twitter directly from the Camera and Photos App. iOS 5 has only been out since October 12th and it's already the 7th biggest photo client for Twitter. Other big players were Twitter for Blackberry at 12% and Twitter for Android at 10%. Twitpic accounted for 8%, but was not counted towards the iOS percentage because it is a multiplatform client.

Twitter for iOS adds improved sign-ups, redesigned iPad DM feature

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:15:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Twitter's official iOS app has been updated with a few nice new features. First off, it now offers an "enhanced sign up experience." iOS 5's built-in Twitter integration now allows apps to query the Settings app for sign-in credentials (if they've been set up to do so). This greatly streamlines the process of using an app with Twitter features for the first time, because you don't have to manually enter your account information or password when you first launch the app. Instead, you simply tap "OK" on a modal dialog popup that asks if the app can access your Twitter accounts. Tweetbot is the first third-party app I know of that's also integrated this functionality. Also new to this version of Twitter is a redesigned direct messaging interface on the app's iPad version. DM conversations are now threaded and organized chronologically, and overall the design aesthetic is quite reminiscent of iMessages Read More

Must Have iPad Applications #1-5

Apple iPhone School

If you have recently bought a new iPad I have some “must have” apps you should start out with. Of course, some apps you may wonder why they are so “must have” and argue that you don’t need them. Ok, you just might not. This is my list and there may be more that you would suggest (please do so in the comments). This is the first 5 and I will post more in chunks of 5 in the future. For what it’s worth, here’s my list: This is the app, next to Google, that will teach you pretty much anything. Wikipedia is very accurate and way more up to date than the Encyclopedia you have on your book shelf. There are things that may contain errors but it’s just as accurate as a traditional Encyclopedia. Here’s a article and links to studies on it. Anyway, I like it and it’s Read More

App Starter Kit – Ten Apps You Need to Download for Your New iPhone

Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:05:51 UTC +00:00

iPhoneFreak

So you’ve got your new iPhone, you’ve activated it with iTunes and now you’re keen to get started – but modern smartphone ownership is all about the apps, and without them there isn’t all that much to do. But with the App Store brimming with more than 400,000 apps to download, how does a new user know where to start? This is where you need our iPhone Starter Kit! Here are ten applications you should download to get the most out of your new device. They’re going to cost a total of $13.93/£9.73 (excluding the GPS apps), but we consider them to be standout examples of their genre, and worth every penny. Even though we’ve not included the usual social networking apps such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Foursquare, they’re all available too. There’s a reason Camera+ usually turns up on must-have iPhone apps lists, it’s really good! Aside from adding Read More

Dear Google: Thank you for ruining my mobile work flow

Dear Google: Today started out like any other day. After opening my eyes and wiping the drool off the edge of my lips I reached for my iPhone and began what I call “the cycle”. First, open up “Sunrise Sunset Lite“, a neat little application that uses my current location to calculate when dawn and dusk take place and then displays how many hours and minutes of sunlight I can expect to experience. Live in Finland as long as I have, and you’ll know why this is precious information. Next, open up “XE Currency” to see how the Euro and American Dollar are doing; it’s a basic way to gauge the health of both the American economy and the Euro Zone. After that it’s time to crack open “Facebook” and see which of my friends had a party last night and uploaded hilarious photos of their drunken adventures, and to read Read More

The Top 10 iPhone Apps I can’t live without

Over the years, I’ve owned more smartphones than I care to count. From BlackBerry to webOS to Android, I’ve had just about every platform in my pockets – often two or more at a time. However, there was one smartphone and platform that has remained with me regardless of the other devices I’ve carried – the iPhone. And really, the biggest reason for my devotion to the platform is its wealth of high-quality apps. When friends and family jump on the iPhone bandwagon, the first question they usually ask me is, “What apps should I get?” It really all depends on what you plan on using your phone for. Are you a photo junkie? Do you find yourself on social networking services more than you actually network in person with friends and acquaintances? Or do you just want some games and news apps to pass the time while you’re on your Read More

5 tips for a more social iPhone on Social Media Day

Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:28:49 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

Thursday is Social Media Day, so in honor of that, I’d like to offer a few tips about making your iPhone a more social device. It’d be easy to just say “register as a developer and install iOS 5,” since that brings Twitter integration, but here are some options that don’t cost $99 and involve using pre-release software on your primary device. This is actually a tip for your Mac, but it makes it much easier to share photos to Facebook and Flickr if you set up Events in iPhoto ’11 that you can dump content to in bulk. Using uploading apps on the iPhone itself usually works best if you’re only doing one photo at a time, and if you’re on vacation, that can get annoying very fast. Connecting your social accounts in iPhoto will make it much easier to create organized albums on Facebook and Flicker with only a Read More

Daily Tip: How to customize push notifications for Twitter

Sat, 04 Jun 2011 03:04:55 UTC +00:00

The iPhone Blog

Use a Twitter app on your iPhone and wondering how to customize a balance between getting far too many push notifications, or none at all? Between your main timeline, @ replies/mentions, direct messages (DMs), list notifications, and trending topics – it can be a little overwhelming. There’s been talk of Twitter being integrated into iOS 5, but until then, you’ve got a few options. We’ll show them to you after the break! We’ve already shown you how to turn notifications on or off in the Settings app, but what if you want something a little more granular? Several iPhone Twitter apps allow you to customize what notifications you get. Since there are far too many to explain every single one, we’ll take a look at Twitter for iPhone, the official app and most popular, and Boxcar, which works in conjunction with many of the available iPhone Twitter applications.

Twitter revamps mobile web app

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

With all of the various options available, like Echofon, Twitterific, the official Twitter app and everything else, you already have a choice of ways to browse and post to Twitter on your iPhone. But just in case you happen to use Mobile Safari to do it, Twitter has updated its mobile web app, tuning it up a bit to match both the standard official Twitter interface and the "new Twitter experience" seen on the standard website. As you can see at right, the bar that's normally across the bottom now sits on top, and you can browse through replies, mentions, and check out trending lists. You can even view some media, like pictures and videos, right there in the feed. Pretty groovy. Again, I can't think of a reason why you'd use this over a dedicated app on the iPhone, but it's up to you. The new version of Twitter's mobile Read More

Cydia Gets a Special New Feature – Introducing the QuickBar

Fri, 01 Apr 2011 16:30:11 UTC +00:00

iPhone Download Blog

If you loaded up Cydia today to peruse the latest selection of jailbreak tweaks and apps available to download, you might have rubbed your eyes a bit to make sure you weren’t seeing things. Yep, Cydia got a special new feature, and no doubt for a limited time only. It’s called the QuickBar. Yes, that QuickBar. It looks like Twitter’s panned QuickBar made the move from Twitter’s official iPhone app to Cydia. Don’t believe us? Check it out for yourself, or take a look at the proof inside… Interestingly enough, it’s actually functional. If you tap Cydia’s QuickBar, it will go to the item in question, whether it be a theme, tweak, or whatever. Obviously (hopefully) this is nothing more than an elaborate joke by our friend saurik, the man behind Cydia. Otherwise, we’d probably be seeing a jailbreak tweak that got rid of the QuickBar in Cydia. Wouldn’t that be Read More

Twitter Completes QuickBar Retreat, Pulling Feature From iPhone Software [Mobilized]

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:47:06 UTC +00:00

AllThingsD

Ding dong! The QuickBar is dead. Bowing to strong criticism from users, Twitter on Thursday said it had pulled the controversial toolbar feature from its iPhone app. The QuickBar feature was added last month and immediately drew a rebuke from users who said it mucked things up. Twitter said it still sees potential, but will go back to the drawing board. “Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update appearing in the App Store today,” the company said in a blog post. “We believe there are still significant benefits to increasing awareness of what’s happening outside the home timeline.” For those who can’t wait, the QuickBar-less app is already available on the App Store. Here’s the full text of the company’s retreat: Last month, we released an update to Twitter for iPhone and iPad containing a number of features that Read More

Twitter Axes the #Dickbar

iPod Touch Fans

posted by Trey Trawick on Thursday, March 31, 2011 at 1:59 pm. Originally submitted by Jacob Anyone who has used the official Twitter client in the past few weeks has noticed an intrusive bar—nicknamed “dickbar” after Twitter CEO Dick Costolo—slapped across the top of the interface. The dickbar highlighted promoted tweets in an ad-like manner in attempt to monetize the service, which put-off many users and caused a huge stir online. Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, recently returned to head of product, and has decided to remove the dickbar from the official app. An updated version of Twitter (sans-dickbar) is now available for download on the App Store. Twitter is still trying to monetize the service, so it’s possible that some form of advertising will return in the not-to-distant future. “Rather than continue to make changes to the QuickBar as it exists, we removed the bar from the update Read More

Twitter for iPhone updated, QuickBar is dead

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

The Twitter for iPhone app has been updated (again), and this time the company has included the change everyone's been waiting for: the QuickBar, which featured trending terms along with some paid placement phrases, has been removed from the app. Twitter deftly sidesteps the actual reason why the bar was removed, but their reasoning basically lands on the idea that the bar didn't "improve the user experience" or serve the mission of connecting people to trends on the service. Whatever the reasons, the QuickBar is gone, despite what Twitter says are "incredibly high usage metrics," so the voice of the crowd wins this round. Twitter says it will continue to experiment boldly, however, so it's unlikely that the trending topics are going to be gone for good. Still, after all of the fervor around this particular feature, it is nice to see that the company is taking public outcry into consideration. Read More

For now, we’re going back to the drawing board to explore the best possible experience for in-app notification and discovery.

It’s your platform. Monetize away.

Twitter kills QuickBar from its iOS app

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:26:00 UTC +00:00

Download Squad

Twitter has just updated its iOS app, and the biggest change that version 3.3.3 brings is something many users have asked for -- the removal of the (in)famous QuickBar. First introduced in an update at the beginning of this month, this new feature has seen immense backlash from users of the app, who considered it had only one purpose -- to intrusively serve 'promoted trends' and help Twitter make some money. Subsequently, Twitter backpedaled a bit by making the QuickBar no longer cover tweets once you scrolled down. Apparently that hasn't gone down well with users either, since Twitter has now decided to outright remove the QuickBar. In its blog post on the matter, Twitter explains that its goals for the QuickBar were innocent -- it wanted to let users in on what happened in the world beyond the borders of who they follow, and the feature was also supposed to Read More

Twitter update adds photo, video capture to iPad 2

The official Twitter app for iPad has been updated to version 3.3.2, and it now allows you to take and share photos and videos directly from your iPad 2. This functionality was already in there for the iPhone, of course, but now that the iPad is outfitted with a camera, Twitter has made it easy to take and share video directly from Apple's magical and revolutionary device. The update has a few bug fixes, including a fix that helps location sharing work a little better. What the new version doesn't do is get rid of the trending topics quickbar, a feature that still has some users up in arms after it was added into the app a little while ago. But that fight aside for now, I look forward to seeing some iPads putting video and pictures on Twitter. Read More

Twitter Updates iPhone App, Calms User Revolt?

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 03:01:50 UTC +00:00

Mashable

by Twitter ran into a user revolt when it released version 3.3 of its iPhone app last week, and Wednesday it released an update that could convince its angry users to put their figurative torches down and go back to their homes. The problem was, Twitter introduced a “Quick Bar” that hovered at the top of the user’s tweets, generally making a nuisance of itself in spite of the fact that it was offering real information about trending topics. Users didn’t care for this at all. Wondering how widespread the disdain was for this little tweak, we took a poll last weekend and got an overwhelmingly negative reaction to version 3.3 of Twitter’s iPhone app. As you can see, more than 81% of our readers disliked the Quick Bar: Now, as Twitter promised late last week, version 3.3.1 is here, and it includes “updated Quick Bar default behavior to not overlap Read More

Twitter backpedals on the Quickbar, makes it no longer cover tweets

Twitter has reacted to the backlash about the Quickbar, the new addition to its iOS apps that shows you trending topics (including promoted trends). The Quickbar was introduced in an update to Twitter for iOS that became available on March 3, and, in just a few days, it's been made very clear that people really hate it. So Twitter decided to step up and submitted an updated version of its app to Apple last Friday, just one day after the previous one was released. While Apple was reviewing the new version, however, the term "dickbar" was created along with its own hashtag, and a quick Twitter search will let you know just how people feel about the Quickbar. The newly available Twitter app for iOS, version 3.3.1, still has the Quickbar, however it will no longer cover tweets once you scroll down. Twitter also says that it's fixed some bugs in Read More

Twitter Backs Down on Quick Bar in Latest Update

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 14:50:56 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

Twitter introduced an update for its iOS application last weekend that included the Quick Bar, a black bar that featured trending topics prominently displayed at the top of a user’s tweet stream. It was met with resounding and forceful hatred by the Twitter user community, and quickly nicknamed the “dickbar.” A new update today doesn’t take away the dickbar, but it does make it far less annoying. With the new update, the dickbar still sits on top of your tweet stream; that’s apparently not something Twitter is willing to make optional. But now, mercifully, it doesn’t stay within view as you scroll through your timeline. While I still don’t find the Quick Bar was in any way helpful (I rarely pay attention to trending topics, instead trusting my followers to surface things that I’ll find interesting), at least now it no longer really takes anything away from the experience, either.

Twitter Updated to Version 3.3.1, Quick Bar Improved

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 14:02:23 UTC +00:00

iPhoneFreak

Twitter’s official iPhone app is arguably the best way to tweet on your iPhone, however last week this became ‘was’ the best way, thanks to the introduction of the thoroughly intrusive Quick Bar. The Bar was there to introduce trending topics to the main Twitter view, paving the way for sponsored and promoted topics in the future. Unfortunately, the Quick Bar overlaid new tweets, appeared when it liked and although it claimed to be ‘location aware’, it failed to show the right country’s promoted topics in my stream, preferring to show ones from Turkey instead. Thanks for that. This upset a lot of people, and Twitter was alive with negative comments and the app’s rating dropped severely on iTunes. Twitter had to do something, and today they’ve released version 3.3.1 with their solution. In addition to some performance and stability fixes, the Quick Bar has been changed to not sit over Read More

Blog do iPhone

mar 09 Na semana passada, o aplicativo Twitter para iPhone (grátis na App Store) recebeu uma atualização que foi polêmica no mundo todo, por trazer uma novidade que nem todos gostaram: a lista de TT (trending topics) acima da timeline. Além de ser chato, não é possível regionalizar os TTs, o que faz aparecer assuntos americanos e não os brasileiros (que para nós geralmente são mais divertidos de acompanhar). Para piorar as coisas, ontem o aplicativo passou por várias instabilidades e diversos leitores nos reclamaram que ele não estava mais funcionando. Por isso, ele recebeu uma rápida atualização hoje que pretende resolver os casos em que o aplicativo fechava inesperadamente. Infelizmente os TTs americanos ainda continuam lá.

Twitter-Client ‘Teewee’ mit irrwitzigen Ähnlichkeiten zur offiziellen iPhone-App

Tue, 08 Mar 2011 17:42:39 UTC +00:00

iPhoneBlog.de

Wer findet den Unterschied? Die Lösung springt beinahe ins Auge. Entgegen ‘Twitter‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) besitzt ‘Teewee‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) noch keine #dickbar. Ansonsten lassen sich die Design-Unterschiede an zirka einer Hand aufzählen. Der japanische Client ‘gestaltet’ hier mal ein Button ‘individuell’ und verschiebt dort mal eine Menü-Option. Andernfalls gleichen sich die beiden Apps mit beinahe ‘verblüffender’ Ähnlichkeit. Da helfen auch die unterschiedlichen ‘Themes’ nichts, die lediglich das verwendete Farb-Profil plus Hintergrundbild austauschen. Teewee ist jedoch alles andere als neu sondern bereits seit letztem Mai im App Store. Der 1.0-Release erfolgte exakt neun Tage nachdem Twitter seinen offiziellen iPhone-Client, der vorher Tweetie 2 hieß, in den App Store entsandte. Zufälle gibt es…!

TweetCaster Pro: An alternative to the 'd**kbar' in the Twitter app

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 14:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Timing is everything. Just about at the same moment that the official iOS Twitter apps were updated with a new "Quick Bar," which was met with almost universal disdain, Handmark started shipping its new TweetCaster (US$4.99 Pro and ad-supported free versions available) Twitter app for iPhone. There's no "dickbar" in TweetCaster, and in fact, the app does everything it can to let you zip the lips of annoying tweeters or trends. Yeah, we've all seen a lot of Twitter apps, but TweetCaster is a bit different, and that's what made it interesting enough to try. The official Twitter app recently added the annoying Quick Bar, designed to let you know what was trending in Twitter, which means that lately it's been filled with the phrases "Classic Tattoo Fail," "Breakout Kings" (which appears to be a paid promotion for the new cable TV series), "thataintwinning" (somehow related to some actor from Ferris Read More

iPhoneBlog.de

Im Ausklang der letzten Woche schob Twitter ein vermeintlich unscheinbares 3.3-Update durchs App-Store-Download-Rohr. Erst nach dem gewohnt unreflektierten ‘News-Geschrei’ des Internets (“wenn man über eine App schreibt, gilt es diese vorher auszuprobieren!“) bemerkte man das Kuckucksei, das uns der Kurzmitteilungsdienst damit gezwitschert hat. Die offizielle Liste an Neuerungen klingt zuerst vielversprechend. Der flache Nachsatz im Blog-Beitrag ist es, der das Grauen verbirgt. Mit der ‘Quick Bar’, einem derzeit exklusiven iPhone-Feature, quetschen sich üble ‘Trend’- und ‘Promo’-Tweets ans Kopfende des Zeitstrahls. Diese überlagern nicht nur optisch verwirrend das persönliche Kurzmitteilungs-Archiv (wer nicht abgelenkt werden möchte, lässt die App besser nicht geöffnet auf dem Schreibtisch liegen) sondern führt aus Sicht des Nutzers außerdem zu ungewollten ‘Klicks’ (beispielsweise beim Nachladen von Tweets). Ein Hashtag-Kosename war mit #dickbar schnell geboren.

Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:30:31 UTC +00:00

Mashable

by Twitter placed a new “Quick Bar” on its iPhone app last Thursday, and as usual, when anything changes in the online world, there’s a small and extremely loud group of hard-core users objecting to it. The Quick Bar, appearing in version 3.3 of the iPhone app but not the iPad version yet, floats at the top of the Twitter timeline, displaying a rotating list of trends, including promoted trends (as you can see in our graphic here, but promoted trends only numbered about one out of ten trends shown). A finger swipe changes the trending subject to the next one. Given a mocking name referring to both Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and possibly an anatomical reference at the same time, the “Dick-bar” is causing an uproar. It even has its own Twitter hashtag (#dickbar), and you can get your own giant version right here. The Twitter iPhone app is currently Read More

How to Remove the New “Quick Bar” in Twitter for iPhone

Fri, 04 Mar 2011 13:00:59 UTC +00:00

iPhone Download Blog

The official Twitter for iPhone app has been updated with several new features. Unlike previous minor updates, Twitter 3.3 packs some significant changes to the app’s interface. While there are some definite improvements in the app, many users have been complaining that the update does more harm than good… Here’s the description of the 3.3 update: What’s new in Version 3.3 It’s worth noting that Twitter has added some very helpful features in 3.3. The compose tweet window has been cleaned up considerably, and the process of adding/uploading photos has been improved. The autocomplete username feature is particularly helpful. That feature has been a popular request for quite some time, so it’s nice to see Twitter finally have it implemented into the app. Unfortunately, Twitter’s new “Quick Bar” seems to really be getting on people’s nerves. The Quick Bar sits on top of your Twitter timeline, and it scrolls through the Read More

Twitter para iPhone e iPad se actualiza con interesantes mejoras

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:15:07 UTC +00:00

EsferaiPhone

Twitter, una de las aplicaciones más descargadas para gestionar nuestra cuenta en la red social, acaba de actualizarse para traer interesantes mejoras. La primera de ellas y quizás para mi gusto, la más importante, es la nueva pantalla de composición de mensaje. Hasta ahora, teníamos que darle a una flechita para poder ver el panel de opciones, por ejemplo, para agregar fotos. Ahora tendremos este panel disponible, nada más abrir la ventana. Entre otras novedades estan: Aunque no es un gran lavado de cara, son mejoras que nos pueden venir bien en ciertos momentos.

Video: Nokia Reader 1.0 beta [Because reading RSS on the go is critical for news junkies]

Tue, 25 Jan 2011 08:33:03 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is the addictive technology that feeds that urge inside of you to check up on what’s new in the world. There are many RSS clients out there, both offline and online, with many news junkies heralding Google Reader as the best one, and now Nokia has written their own. It’s simply called Nokia Reader 1.0 and it’s a beta. While the feature list is rather slim, you can only add feeds by typing in a URL manually or browsing through a pre-populated directory, Nokia Reader is meant to show off some of the company’s software innovations. First, the app is written in Qt, Nokia’s latest platform that enables developers to write applications for Symbian and MeeGo devices. From the demo above you can tell it’s responsive and smooth, something that’s rather difficult to do with native Symbian C++. Next, the app uses Nokia’s push notification API. Read More

Hey Cult Of Mac, We Didn’t Photoshop That Deleted Verizon iPhone Tweet

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:00:30 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

Earlier this morning reporter Rich DeMuro caught our attention with a unusual @Verizon tweet that looked like it was sent from Twitter for iPhone. While we weren’t the first to see it, or even the first tech blog to publish a post on it, we wrote about it anyways, namely because it was “interesting” that whoever is behind the Verizon account may have been tweeting from an iPhone (Verizon or otherwise) in the days prior to a rumored Verizon iPhone launch. Well things just got more interesting. Shortly after our post went up the tweet disappeared mysteriously. Meanwhile over at Cult of Mac, pro-bono TechCrunch fact-checker Lonnie Lazar decided to scan the Verizon Twitter account looking for the tweet we referenced, to no avail. And when he found a similar Jan 7th tweet sent from CoTweet, decided to write a post implying that we had Photoshopped the above image. “But could it also Read More

Huffington Post overhauls iPad app with 2.0 release

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 15:30:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

The Huffington Post has just released version 2.0 of its popular iPad app. The release is a complete overhaul and revamp of the previous app. Gone is the huge drop-down menu that you used to navigate through the Post's various sections. It has now been replaced by an always-there Huff Post NewsGlide menu that allows you to quickly switch between sections with the tap of your finger. Each NewsGlide section is divided into ordered news, blogs, slideshows and popular sub-sections. The slideshow sub-sections are particularly well laid out to take advantage of the iPad's "flick through your photos" navigation. Tap on an article and a window slides onto the screen containing the exact page you would view if you were browsing the Huffington Post through Safari or Chrome. That means the articles window contains all the comments -- and the ability to comment -- directly in the app. Overall, the new Read More

I’m Alex Jordan, and Here Are My Top Five iOS Apps

iSource

Hello everyone. I’m Alex Jordan, one of the new authors here at iSource. I thought I’d break the ice by telling you the top five iOS apps I can’t live without. So, let’s jump right in. Instagram is a unique social network, that as far as I can tell, stems solely from an iOS app. There is no website to go to, no other clients to access the service except for the official Instagram app. What is Instagram? Well, you take pictures, apply filters (or not), and post them, and view other’s photos. Like any other social network, you can comment on other’s posts, or “like” them. Think of it as “Facebook, but only for pictures.” On the surface it seems a little pointless, I’ll admit. However, you really should give it a try. It’s free, and easy to sign up. Surprise, surprise, Pandora Radio made the list. Yeah, Pandora has Read More

The official Twitter app for iPhone and iPad was just updated to support native push notifications for @mentions and direct messages. Push notifications can be enabled in a new pane for your account settings. Push notifications for the Twitter app (and what was formerly Tweetie) has been a highly desired feature for a very long time. I’m sure we’re all glad that Twitter has finally gotten around to implementing a feature that should have been part of the app when it was first released… You are given the option to receive notifications from only people you follow, as well as anyone who mentions you. You also get a badge on your Twitter app icon of how many unread notifications you have. I’ve enabled push notifications in my Twitter app and it has been working great. Mentions are getting pushed quickly and the icon badges are a great addition for keeping track of unread mentions and Read More

Twitter for iPad – app review

The iPhone Blog

By Chad Garrett, Tuesday, Sep 7, 2010 | There is a lot of debate out there about Twitter’s new official universal binary app for iPhone/iPad. The iPad update brings an all new interface to the iPad. What’s new? What’s great? What’s not so great? Let’s start at the beginning… Twitter for iPad brings a new and unique redesign to the Twitter experience that we know and love on the iPhone. Immediately after signing into the application I noticed something that looked, well, odd. The screen was split about 40/60 in portrait mode. Most other Twitter applications I have used took the full screen in portrait. So, I began my usual scrolling through the timeline and all seemed well and good. The familiar release to refresh was there and everything. Next I proceeded to tap a tweet. Boom. This is where my Twitter world turned upside down. Next thing I know there Read More

As soon as the official Twitter app for iPad (free) hit the App Store, you could tell that it was going to be a controversial app. Immediately, the twitterverse was filled with people either commenting on how much they loved the innovative and unique user interface, and others ranting about how much they despised the UI. One of our bloggers said that she enjoyed the new features of Twitter for iPad so much that she "wanted to have a cigarette after I was done, and I don't even smoke." On the other hand, TJ Luoma reported in his first look at the Twitter app that "... judging by most of the comments of people that I follow on Twitter, the initial reaction is definitely one of 'too busy' and 'over designed.' " Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone. I have been a fan of Twittelator for iPad ($4.99) since Read More

Existing users will only need to upgrade, but if you haven’t tried this already, hit the link above. The interface is very clever and looks great, bringing tweets and the web together in one application. Free. Another great looking action game from Gameloft.

Twitter App Updated for iPad

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:21:35 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

Until now, the state of Twitter on the iPad hasn’t been great. There were a few pretty good apps (I’ve been using Tweetdeck), but the field needed a champion. Enter the official Twitter for iPad app. Early this morning, Twitter for iOS was updated as a universal app, bringing a new iPad-specific format to the existing iPhone one. Loren Birchter, the man behind the Twitter app, and Twitter itself has long heralded its arrival. So is it worth the wait? Well, Twitter definitely has the right idea with this app at first glance. Unlike some other third-party clients I could mention, Twitter for iPad takes full advantage of the iPad’s generous screen space, and does so creatively. You won’t find the same sort of columns that Tweetdeck uses, but you will find a modular, multi-pane layout that pushes new content to the right allowing you to navigate through threads of tweets Read More

Hands-on with the official Twitter application for the iPad

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:59:14 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

The official Twitter app for iOS has been updated and now runs lean and mean on the Apple iPad. The new Twitter for iPad is optimized for the larger screen of Apple’s tablet device and includes a multi-paned UI that displays a navigation menu and your twitter feed side-by-side. While this layout is utilitarian, it does not expand to fill the whole display of the device and you are left looking at a glaring black border around the main contents of the application. One cool feature that distinguishes the tablet version of the app from the iPhone version is the multi-paned UI that overlays content related to a tweet, including images, web pages, profile information, and more. Clicking on a tweet that contains a link will reveal the contents of the link whether it be a yFrog image or a blog post. Likewise, clicking on a tweet from an individual will reveal Read More

Twitter's New iPad App Shines, but Not Perfect

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:32:35 UTC +00:00

ReadWriteWeb

Twitter has just launched its first official iPad application, and the reviews so far have been glowing. The new app offers a few notable features, such as panes for interacting with content within a stream, media which displays inline without slowing you down and gesture support for common Twitter actions. What stands out the most about this new application is not a summary of its features, however. It's how the app fits into this growing trend that positions the iPad as the go-to device for consuming streams. With its touchscreen interface, the Apple tablet is ideal for both viewing and interacting with flows of information - not just tweets, but also Facebook status updates, news, RSS feeds, photos and more. With the official Twitter for iPad application, the process for interacting with Twitter's fast-updating stream of content has been addressed through the use of panes. You tap on tweets to open Read More

Twitter for iPad Review: Ahead of the Pack

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:26:49 UTC +00:00

jkOnTheRun

The folks at Twitter took their time working on the app for the iPad, and my experience with it shows it was time well spent. Having used more Twitter apps than I can count running on multiple platforms, it’s clear this iPad version is better than any of them for following the Twitterverse. Twitter for iPad handles all of the standard Twitter functions in a way that focuses on the user interface. The app serves all functions well in portrait orientation (my favorite for using Twitter), but really shines when the iPad is turned to landscape. The amount of information displayed at all times makes using Twitter an enjoyable interactive experience. The app uses multiple panes that slide into view from the right as needed. When you click on a link in a tweet, the internal browser slides in from the right to display the article, photo or YouTube video. These Read More

Official Twitter app updated for iPad

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

A few months ago, Twitter announced that they had acquired Tweetie and the web (I refuse to use the word "blogosphere" because it is a stupid word) exploded with predictions that they had effectively killed off the market for 3rd party Twitter applications by offering a free alternative. With the release of Twitter as a universal app that now includes iPad support (read the official announcement here) I feel confident that the reports of the death of 3rd party Twitter applications have been greatly exaggerated. The UI for Twitter for iPad is, without question, unlike any other Twitter application that we've seen. Opinions around the TUAW offices differ on whether this difference is "awesome" or "an abomination." I definitely range towards the latter end of the scale, and judging by most of the comments of people that I follow on Twitter, the initial reaction is definitely one of "too busy" and Read More

Offizielle ‘Twitter’-Anwendung für das iPad erreicht den App Store

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:05:52 UTC +00:00

iPhoneBlog.de

Der Kurzmitteilungsdienst ‘Twitter’ kaufte im April 2010 die App-Store-Anwendung ‘Tweetie 2′ von Loren Brichter. Seit dem 19. Mai ist die iPhone-App unter dem Namen ‘Twitter‘ (kostenlos; App Store-Link) im App Store verfügbar; heute folgt die Umstellung auf eine ‘universal’ Anwendung, die den Webservice über ein natives iOS-Programm am iPad benutzbar macht. Durch ein abermals verändertes Software-Design muss sich auch bei dieser Veröffentlichung die Konkurrenz kräftig anschnallen. TechCrunch titelt: “Twitter Just Killed Something Else: Their Own Website. Twitter For iPad Is That Good.” und beschreibt damit ‘verschiebbare Fensterelemente’, die man so noch in keiner populären iPad-Anwendung gesehen hat. Auf den mittlerweile von Twitter bezahlten Loren Brichter, der auch in diesen Programmcode seine Finger steckte, fällt bekanntlich das ‘Pull-to-Refresh’-Konzept. Dabei ließ sich der Twitter-Zeitstrahl aktualisierten, wenn man sich an die oberste Fenster-Position klammerte. Viele Programme kopierten diese Software-Aufmachung. Als Facebook (kostenlos; App Store-Link) ‘Pull-to-Refresh’ integrierte, wurde sich anschließend kräftig für die Leihgabe entschuldigt. Read More

Twitter Just Killed Something Else: Their Own Website. Twitter For iPad Is That Good.

Are you addicted to Twitter? Do you have an iPad? Even if the answer to both is “no” right now, after you see Twitter for iPad, those answers are going to change — quickly. Yes, the wait is over. Launching tonight in the App Store is Twitter for iPad — the first official native iPad app from the company. We all knew it was coming (Twitter even said so a few months ago), but it has been a long wait. It was definitely worth it. Like most people, I wander into hyperbole from time to time. But it has now been a few days since I first played with Twitter for iPad, and I still think it is hands-down the best iPad app out there. It’s that good. With all due respect to Reeder, Instapaper, Flipboard, and Pulse, this is now going to be my go-to app for just about everything Read More

New iPad TV ad highlights various apps

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

A new iPad TV ad started airing in the US this week. It begins with the statement "IPad is..." before moving through several adjectives and related apps. For example, a brief appearance by The Photo Cookbook is followed by "delicious." Flipboard is followed by "current," and so on. One interesting tidbit is that when Twitter is shown (followed by "friendly"), the ad shows a close crop of twitter.com. Presumably this is because there's still no official Twitter app for the iPad ("Twitter," formerly Tweetie, is for the iPhone and not a universal app). It's a clever spot that shows off some quality apps while answering the common question, "But what is it for?" Read More

The 30 Best iPhone Apps So Far This Year

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 18:12:54 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

Editor’s note: This guest post is written by Alex Ahlund, the former CEO and founder of AppVee and AndroidApps, which were acquired by mobile application directory Appolicious. About this time last year, he gave us his picks of the best iPhone apps of 2009 up until then, so we thought we’d make it an annual tradition. I’ve been involved in the iPhone app industry since it first began in 2008 and I have to say that it has come a long way. I’ve seen it grow from a meager launch of 500 applications in the App Store to currently over 225,000. In only two years, the industry has matured at hyperspeed. It spawned an entire ecosystem to support it from a multitude of news and editorial resources to developer engines, promotional services and ancillary niches. With over five billion app downloads and a billion dollars at stake, it’s no surprise that Read More

Instapaper: A Blog Reader’s Killer Service

Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:05:02 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

Any power user or RSS lover that reads a lot of Mac-centric blogs may have heard of Instapaper which is most easily defined as “A simple tool to save web pages for reading later.” After only four days, I’m completely convinced that this is not a tool I could live without. Instapaper’s success is mostly due to the ease of getting content into it. I can send items to Instapaper via a bookmarklet, Chrome Extension, Firefox Extension, NetNewsWire and even my iPhone’s Twitter client. Saving any webpage to Instapaper takes two seconds on a 3G connection and I can read the full webpage (text & images only) on my iPad later. It’s difficult to write about Instapaper without sounding like a total fanboy, but it’s really incredible. It’s probably a good idea to explain how I use Instapaper throughout the day as part of my workflow. First, the app costs $4.99 Read More

Twitter has finally released an app on their own instead of leaving it to other developers. After having purchased the popular Twitter development company Tweetie, the team has decided to release an official Twitter app. The app definitely looks like Twitter and more importantly, tweets like Twitter. User\'s can sign into their account and get right to tweeting and reading other tweets. The app offers all the essentials like lists, @ mentions, direct mentions, and more. The app even supports newer features in the latest iOS 4 release such as background uploading. No longer do you have to keep the app open to upload video and photos to Twitter. Overall, the app really was put together well and definitely deserves a look. It has almost every feature you would want although there are obviously some small tweaks that can still be made. Twitter has made a smart decision by choosing to Read More

Review: Powermat Wireless Charging System for iPhone

The Powermat fits right in with the habits you’ve already formed. You probably set your iPhone down on your desk when it’s not in use, and setting the iPhone down on a Powermat is no different — except for the part where it begins to wirelessly recharge your device. It’s the same kind of magic technology that electric toothbrushes and the Palm Pre’s Touchstone use, and it isn’t a gimmick. I spend a lot of time at my computer desk, and I’ve been surprised at the way my habits have changed, simply because I can charge while untethered, and pick the iPhone up whenever I want to. iPhone 3G/S only Before I get into the meat of the review, it should be stated that the review unit I received is for the iPhone 3G/S only.

New Logo/Name, Same Result. Twitter Dominates The App Store

Fri, 21 May 2010 00:57:34 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

It’s amazing what taking one of the best iPhone apps, making it free, and giving it a better name will do. Actually, it’s not. Twitter for iPhone has rocketed to the number 1 app (free app, but undoubtedly overall as well) in the App Store following its release yesterday. And Apple has wasted no time heaping praise on the app in its own way, by making it the coveted iPhone App of the Week in the App Store. Twitter for iPhone, of course, is the new name for Tweetie, the app made by the company Atebits (really, Loren Brichter) until they were acquired by Twitter in April. While Tweetie itself was already extremely popular (that tends to happen when you make the best-of-class app), its popularity is bound to hit a whole different level now. First of all, the app used to cost $2.99, but Twitter decided to make it free. Read More

Twitter's official iPhone app: Any good?

Thu, 20 May 2010 16:50:52 UTC +00:00

CNET iPhone Atlas

The official Twitter app is here, and it's a freebie. Last October I conducted a simple poll: What's your favorite iPhone Twitter app? The winner, with around 28 percent of the votes, was Tweetie 2, then a $2.99 app. Last month, Twitter acquired Tweetie, rebranded it, and dropped the price tag. The result: the official Twitter for iPhone, aka Tweetie 3.0. It just landed in the App Store with a hodge-podge of new/improved features and the sure-to-be-popular price of "free." The app now lets you view trends, search, and browse without actually having a Twitter account. You can also sign up for one right inside the app. The search feature has been reorganized and enhanced (results now include Top Tweets, for instance), and Retweet is now part of the main toolbar. Some nice tweaks, sure, but how does Twitter's app stack up against other favorites such as Echofon, TweetDeck, and Twitterific? Read More

‘Tweetie’ heißt jetzt ‘Twitter’ und ‘BeejiveIM for iPad’ erreicht den App Store

Wed, 19 May 2010 21:24:30 UTC +00:00

iPhoneBlog.de

Am heutigen Abend wurde aus der App Store-Anwendung Tweetie 2, durch eine im April bekanntgegebene Akquisition, Twitter (kostenlos; App Store-Link). Version 3.0 soll den vollen Funktionsumfang des zurecht hochgelobten Mikroblogging-Clients von Loren Brichter bereitstellen. Kleine Design- und Feature-Veränderungen modifizieren das Programm in eine ‘anfängerfreundliche’ Richtung. Die iPhone-App war das beherrschende (Twitter-)Trend-Thema am heutigen Tag. Neben all der berechtigten Kritik, gestaltet sich das Angebot der funktionsbeladenen Anwendung, ihrem Gratis-Vertrieb und der offiziellen Hersteller-Unterstützung, sehr überlegen. Ich bin gespannt, welche Gestützte Geschütze die Konkurrenten in Zukunft auffahren. Während ‘Twitter for iPad’ zu einem nicht näher spezifizierten Zeitpunkt folgen soll, schleicht sich der alte Chat-Bruder BeejiveIM for iPad (4.99 €; App Store-Link) in den App Store.

Tweetie’s Gone, New Official Twitter App for iPhone Is Here

Wed, 19 May 2010 18:10:26 UTC +00:00

Tweetie – the hugely popular and acclaimed iPhone Twitter app – is gone; and the new Tweetie-based official Twitter app for iPhone has been released We knew this was coming ever since Twitter bought Tweetie, and knew it would be soon when Tweetie was yanked from the App Store yesterday. This morning the new, official Tiwtter app is out – available in the US and Canada App Stores now and in others round the world already or soon. A few quick notes on the new app based on just a quick look through it and some brief email conversations with our JAiB team It is the official Twitter app, which has caused some concern for developers of other Twitter apps. The seller is listed as Twitter, Inc. Note the version number is 3.0 – the ultimate acknowledgement of the Tweetie to Twitter changeover. It is also now a free app. It Read More

The iPhone's Official (and Best) Twitter App Is Now Free [IPhone Apps]

Wed, 19 May 2010 17:01:47 UTC +00:00

Gizmodo

When Twitter swallowed Tweetie maker Atebits, they declared that an official Twitter client—a la Android's—was on its way. You'll be happy to hear that Twitter has barely changed the iPhone's best Twitter app, except where it counts: Price. The app is currently showing up for Tweetie users as an update, but should be available here any second. It's very familiar: Aside from a new icon and start screen, this is Tweetie 2. The only functional change I've noticed is the new search screen, which includes a trending topics rundown—some of which can be accessed even if you're not logged into a Twitter account. (The idea being that you can glean news from Twitter the second you download the app, and continue to do so without a user account. Twitter lurking, I'll call it.) Other than that, all of Tweetie's best features are here, including the should-be-standard-on-everything pull-down refresh, Tweet swiping (for Read More

Official Twitter App for iPhone Now Available

Wed, 19 May 2010 12:07:02 UTC +00:00

iPhone Download Blog

RIP Tweetie, hello Twitter! For those of you who don’t know, my favorite Twitter app for iPhone, Tweetie, was acquired by Twitter a few weeks ago. Twitter then rebranded the app to call it “Twitter”. If like me you’re a pretty heavy Twitter user, you might be worried that Twitter will kill the “quote” feature to make it like their own native retweet feature. Before being bought out by Twitter, the app was available for $2.99, but it is now free. You can download it directly from this link. Note that it is not available everywhere yet. Although the link works, I haven’t been able to download it. I guess it needs to propagate through all the servers of the App Store. Read More

Twitter for iPhone should be going live tonight

Wed, 19 May 2010 04:45:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Tweetie for iPhone was acquired by Twitter, and has been updated and released as Twitter for iPhone. The good news is that it is now free (Tweetie was US$2.99). It should be hitting the US App Store later tonight, although Tweetie 2 was recently removed from the App Store to make way for Twitter for iPhone. You can continue to use Tweetie 2 (or Tweetie 1) but only until the end of June, due to changes in the way Twitter is handling logins. All Twitter applications are going to have to be updated before then, or else they will no longer be able to log in. Those of you who have been holding onto Birdfeed, this means you too. You will have to "authorize" Twitter for iPhone. This authorization means that if you change your password, you can still use Twitter for iPhone. Authorizations can be managed in your Twitter account Read More

Twitter releases “Twitter for iPhone”

iPod Touch Fans

posted by Blake on Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 8:09 pm. Today twitter launched its official iPhone application in the iPhone App Store. Twitter announced in April that it had entered into an agreement to purchase “Tweetie”, a leading iPhone Twitter client and winner of the Apple Design Award in 2009. The new application is now available for download, bringing with it an awesome price of free! (The app is currently propagating around the world and should be available within a few hours) Read More

Twitter for iPhone goes live on AppStore (kinda), replaces Tweetie 2 on AppStore

Wed, 19 May 2010 00:38:00 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

The AppStore is a continuously changing landscape of mobile apps as far as eye can see, especially when it comes to updating apps like Tweetie 2. As you might recall, the popular Twitter client for the iPhone was bought out by Twitter itself. Following that deal, Tweetie 2 was unceremoniously taken down from the AppStore last night. Today, the app emerges from its sudden black-out mode with a new name – Twitter for iPhone is now live! The official Twitter app follows the launch of the micro-blogging service’s Twitter for Android app late last month. Today, Twitter for iPhone is reportedly going live on the AppStore. We’d love to tell you what’s new with the app, but we’re having trouble downloading it at the moment. Reports from around the web indicate that the official Twitter app is still propagating through the AppStore and cannot be found using a simple search. We’re Read More

How to Make Your iPhone Apps Run in Full Screen Mode On Your iPad

Mon, 03 May 2010 20:05:02 UTC +00:00

iPhone Download Blog

iPhone applications that have not been optimized for iPad yet don’t look so good on the iPad. Sure you have the option to blow up the iPhone apps by hitting the “2x” button, but the pexilization is so bad that it makes this feature almost useless. For those of you who jailbroke your iPad with the newly released Spirit (see Spirit jailbreak tutorial), there is a solution that will allow you to blow up your apps to fit the full screen, without having the dirty pixelization. I initially saw this on Remond Pie but the instructions didn’t work at all for me. So I dug a bit more and I found something on ModMyI that perfectly worked for me. Step 1: Download iPhoneBrowser and launch it. In Cydia, download Afc2Add and reboot your iPhone. Step 2: Plug your iPad in and navigate to /var/mobile/Applications. Step 3: Find the application you want Read More

Twitter Acquires Tweetie

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 04:56:02 UTC +00:00

iPhone Alley

Today Loren Brichter, the developer behind Tweetie [App Store, $2.99], announced that Tweetie for iPhone has been acquired by Twitter. According to the post on his blog, Brichter is joining Twitter’s mobile team to begin transforming “Tweetie” into “Twitter” for both the iPhone and the iPad. Additionally, Twitter has announced that Tweetie will soon be renamed “Twitter for iPhone” and made free for iPhone and iPod touch users. No release dates have been announced as of yet, but we’re guessing it won’t take too long! Not mentioned in either post is the fate of Tweetie for Mac. Both Twitter and Brichter referred to the “Twitter mobile team,” indicating that Twitter may not have acquired Tweetie for Mac. If this turns out to be the case, Mac users who have been waiting (a long time) for the long-promised next version may have to wait much longer than previously thought.

Twitter Buys Tweetie As Their Official iPhone App

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 04:20:42 UTC +00:00

iPhone Savior

Twitter founder Evan Williams officially announced on the company blog that the wildly popular Tweetie 2 app for iPhone has been acquired by Twitter. ($2.99) will be relaunched as Twitter's official iPhone app with the re-imagined version offered to iPhone users for free. "We're thrilled to announce that we've entered into an agreement with Atebits (aka Loren Brichter) to acquire Tweetie, a leading iPhone Twitter client." Evan Williams told his tweet-heads on the Twitter blog. Twitter is also formulating plans to release an iPad version of their app once Loren Brichter is comfortably situated inside the company nest. It appears the little Twitter bird is growing up. Expect a proper coming out party to follow when "Twitter" relaunches in the App Store. Farewell Tweetie, you are my most used and most favorite iPhone app over all the rest. Read More

Breaking: Twitter acquires Tweetie, will make it official and free

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 02:32:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Twitter founder Evan Williams has posted on the official blog that the company will be buying Tweetie, an iPhone app currently available in the App Store, from creator Loren Brichter. The app will be renamed Twitter for iPhone and released in the App Store for free. Williams says that Twitter users have looked for an official app in the store and haven't found one, so he says that they hope to solve that problem by providing an official App Store location for Twitter. Brichter will be joining the Twitter team, and he'll be working with them to eventually provide a Twitter for iPad app as well. More information on the deal (as well as that price change) is coming soon, though Williams didn't say when the iPad app might be released. So, wow.

How do you use social networks like Facebook and Twitter on your iPhone?

The iPhone Blog

By Rene Ritchie, Monday, Mar 29, 2010 | The iPhone and Facebook and Twitter go together like chocolate and peanut butter but just like there are a lot of tasty desert combinations, there’s a lot of ways to keep up with your social networks on the go: And with either of those options there’s still several things you can do with them: We’d love Facebook to fix the 3.1 trunk, we’d love Twitter to add an official push-API, and we’d love Apple to let us multitask them all, but the iPhone remains a premiere platform for social networking and we’ve only just scratched the surface.

Twitter app Tweetie 2 gets an update, added support for Foursquare and more

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:36:41 UTC +00:00

iPhoneFreak

One of the more popular Twitter apps, Tweetie 2, has recently been updated and with it comes a few changes and additions. To begin with, the app was updated to version 2.1.1 and has been given compatibility for OS 3.2. That means it should look nicer when used on the iPad. Other additions and changes include Foursquare integration, support for Vodpod video uploads and the removal of Vid.ly. As it was before Tweetie 2 is available in the App Store and selling for $2.99.

Tweetie 2 Gets An Update: Now Foursquare, Web & OS 3.2 Friendly

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:28:23 UTC +00:00

Apple iPhone Apps

It now boasts Foursquare integration, which lets you check out venues your friends tweet about right from the app and it will also run just fine on your upcoming iPad. The most interesting addition however, is most probably Instapaper Mobilizer. Indeed, while checking tweets is quick and convenient, whenever you follow a link, you’re stuck waiting for a bulky web view to load. Well, this is the end of that. In short, once activated in the settings, the Instapaper Mobilizer engine will transform web pages you consult from Tweetie into an iPhone optimized text. No more zooming or advertising, just the content you need, in a fast and convenient format. Read More

Quick App Updates: Tweetie, Loopt, Foursquare, Flickr — Including iPhone 3.2 Compatibility(!)

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:14:16 UTC +00:00

The iPhone Blog

By Rene Ritchie, Thursday, Mar 11, 2010 | Tapped on App Store and what did I see? Updates for Tweetie, Loopt, Foursquare, and Flickr — and a couple of those say iPhone OS 3.2 (aka iPad) right there in the What’s New listing. (Yeah, that doesn’t mean 3.2 is coming to the iPhone or these are 1024×768 versions, likely just that they’re built using that SDK for maximum blackboxing on the iPad). Tweetie [$2.99 - iTunes link] has just hit version 2.1.1 and brings iPhone OS 3.2 compatibility(!), Foursquare (4sq.com) integration, Vodpod video uploads, Post ‘message’ parameter to TwitPic, and Instapaper Mobilizer. See our previous Tweetie coverage for more on the app. Loopt [Free - iTunes link] expands the product’s Pulse feature to include tens of thousands of local events, and allows check-in to events, public Tips, and the ability to RSVP to events posted on Facebook.

How to use the updated Instapaper Pro with Tweetie 2

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

Instapaper Pro has been updated to version 2.2. Its creator, Marco Arment, wrote about some of the process behind adding a new feature called "Return to Position." If you enjoy hearing developers sweat the details, it's a great read. There's also a full changelog for those who want more details on the new version. I've been using Instapaper Pro a lot more recently after making a few changes to my workflow on my iPhone and Mac. I set up the "Read Later" bookmarklet installed properly from the Instapaper website. (An even easier method is to use Quix which I mentioned the other day.) I also started following the "companion site" Marco started especially for Instapaper called "Give Me Something To Read" which is a selection of interesting articles hand-picked by Richard Dunlop-Walters. The last step was setting up Tweetie 2 on the iPhone to send web pages I wanted to read Read More

Loren Brichter Explains How He Created Tweetie

Sat, 23 Jan 2010 21:05:52 UTC +00:00

Apple iPhone School

I used to be a HUGE fan of Tweetie until Tweetie 2. Some of my favorite features were removed like the dark theme and I don’t really like the new retweet feature and the quote feature only lets you use “via” instead of “RT”. Anyway, this is a really kewl video from the developer speaking at Standford University back in May of 2009. It’s a kewl inside view to app developing and more support for why some apps should be paid and not free. Oh, and be prepared, it’s 30 minutes long. Read More

The iPhone app showdown

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 02:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

This was an intriguing experiment undertaken over at Minimal Mac: Patrick decided to play a little Homescreen Survivor with his iPhone app icons -- he cleared everything off his homescreen, and then only let those apps back on which he used more than once throughout the course of a week. The result? You can see here which ones made it back on. Contacts, Calendar, Camera all showed up, not surprisingly. Photos did as well -- I don't use that one much, but I can see why. Everything else seems to be his own personal use: Tumblr's app, two different Twitter apps (Birdhouse and Tweetie), and then Simplenote and so on. But the real point here isn't what apps he used, it's just how different his homescreen looked when he only put what he used on there. I'll admit it: my iPhone is a mess -- I've got icons all over the Read More

Indie+Relief: ontwikkelaars geven vandaag geld aan Haïti

In de App Store kun je bijvoorbeeld terecht voor AquaGlobs (€1,59), AutoWiFi (€1,59 – automatisch inloggen op hotspots), Artificial Life (€0,79), Tweetie 2 (€2,39) en BomberDove (€1,59). Er staan ook twee apps van Nederlandse ontwikkelaars in de lijst: Python van Cirkelsoft (€2,39) en Television (€2,39) van Makayama. Na aftrek van de 30% van Apple gaat het overige percentage naar een goed doel, dat de ontwikkelaar zelf heeft gekozen (maar dat in ieder geval iets met Haïti te maken heeft).

The Best Twitter Apps for iPhone and Android Just Got Better [Twitter]

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 21:15:41 UTC +00:00

Gizmodo

Some of the best of Twitter apps just got a lot better with fresh updates—Tweetie 2.1 and Birdfeed 1.2 on the iPhone, and Twidroid 3.0 on Android. Here's what new and awesomer: Birdfeed 1.2 The biggest change in Birdfeed 1.2 is geolocation using the official Twitter API, which embeds the location of a tweet as metadata, unlike previous Twitter app geolocation powers, which were workarounds. It's probably my favorite implementation since it's the dead simplest, with a tap adding location to any tweet. Also new and excellent is support for Flickr, designed in a fairly elegant way. Of course, there's a bunch of smaller tweaks too, and now it's only $3, down from $5. It's still my favorite looking/feeling Twitter app. Tweetie 2.1 Tweetie 2.1 has a bunch of gut changes that add up to a better experience. The big things are that there's now native support for Twitter's new official Read More

Tweetie 2.1 Update Brings List Support, New Retweet Implementation

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:00:38 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

Not one to be outdone by Twittelator Pro’s most recent update, atebits’ latest update for Tweetie 2 (iTunes link) brings implementations of the two newest official Twitter features: Lists and Retweet. As someone who isn’t particularly crazy about the official retweet implementation, I’m not so excited about that, but there’s still a “Quote Tweet” option as well, which lets you do things the old way. There’s a lot of other new features and improvements, too, including tweet geotagging, spam reporting via the official Twitter API, What the Trend explanation of trending topics, and more. Once again, Tweetie has returned to the top of the heap, in terms of both functionality and UI. Lists can be created, edited, managed and viewed, all from within Tweetie 2 now. That means if users post links in the “@user/list” format, you’ll be able to just click on it to view said list. Your own list Read More

Tweetie II-Update: Retweet, Geo-Position und Listen

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:19:04 UTC +00:00

iPhoneBlog.de

Microsoft’s Suchmaschine ‘Bing’ führt das Schlagwort ‘Twitter’ an zweiter Position seiner Top 10-Liste für das Jahr 2009. Damit verliert der Kurzmitteilungsdienst nur knapp gegen Michael Jackson. Folgescherze verkneife ich mir an dieser Stelle… Die Spitzenplatzierung nimmt der Begriff ‘Twitter’ dagegen erfolgreich beim ‘Global Language Monitor‘ für 2009 ein, und verweist ‘Obama’ oder ‘H1N1′ auf hintere Positionierungen. Das ist alles auch total unwichtig, zeigt jedoch die ungebremste Popularität des Webdienstleisters, der sich auch im App Store die entsprechenden Clients zum komfortablen Absetzen der 140-Zeichen gegenübersehen. Ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit duellieren sich dort Echofon (3.99 €; App Store-Link), Birdfeed (2.39 €; App Store-Link), Twitterrific (3.99 €; App Store-Link), Tweetdeck (kostenlos; App Store-Link) oder Tweetie II (2.39 €; App Store-Link). Der letzte Kandidat bekam in der letzten Nacht ein kostenfreies 2.1-Update (App Store-Link). Dabei sticht als positive Neuerungen das Anlegen, Verwalten und Editieren der Listen-Funktion heraus.

I’m definitely starting to think that some developers get preferential treatment when it comes to get approved. The 2.1 update of Tweetie just got released and this just a few days only after we’ve announced you its submission to the App Store. As announced it integrates all Twitter new goodies like lists or retweets. Furthermore it improves the geolocalisation function. It’s a free update for those of you who already own it, and it’s still $2.99 for those who don’t. I definitely recommend it as it’s in my opinion by far the best Twitter app on the market. Read More

Tweetie 2.1 Twitter Client for iPhone Brings Geotag, Lists, New-Style Re-Tweets

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:57:02 UTC +00:00

The iPhone Blog

By Rene Ritchie, Sunday, Nov 29, 2009 | Tweetie 2.1 [$2.99 - iTunes link] — a FREE upgrade for Tweetie 2.0 users — brings support for Twitter’s new Geotag feature (so everyone will know where exactly you’re tweeting from), Twitter lists (what lists you have, what lists you subscribe to, though not the likely less-wieldly lists you’re on), and the controversial new-style re-tweets (where you see the original tweeter in your timeline, not the person you’re following who re-tweeted it). There are other additions as well: report spam (via API), tweet-stream “gap” detection (looks like a torn gap in your timeline), and a tone of other stuff (including disable pin-stripes for the pixel-haters). So how does Tweetie 2.1 handle all this new stuff? With Atebit’s trademark buttery-smooth UI. Geotag is a new icon under the tweet-count drop-down menu. Twitter lists can be accessed via the More (…) icon on the bottom Read More

Tweetie 2.1 for iPhone ships with lists, retweet and geolocation support

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:00:00 UTC +00:00

TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

One of the top Twitter clients for iPhone has been refreshed: Tweetie 2.1 is now available in the App Store [iTunes link]. Our friend Christina previewed the new features in 2.1 for Mashable last week, and the updated version delivers with support for Twitter lists, the Retweet capability, spam reporting, and geotagging of tweets (opt-in and optional, so don't worry that Tweetie is going to supercharge your stalkers without telling you). The full list of changes and features is on the app's iTunes page, and it's impressive. Among the many improvements and tweaks is a crucial bug fix for an issue that had caused many 2.0 users (myself included) to gnash our teeth in frustration: the older version had a lot of problems saving state, causing old updates to appear again and, in the worst-case situation, old tweets to be sent repeatedly. It was aggravating, and it kept me from using Read More

The new version adds a slew of new features, including support for some high-profile new-ish Twitter features “ things like Lists (and the ability to create them, edit them, manage them, and more), and Geotagging.

Tweetie 2.1 For iPhone Now LIVE in the App Store

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:18:07 UTC +00:00

Mashable

by Tweetie 2.1, the latest version of the popular iPhone Twitter client, went live in the app store today. As we mentioned in our preview earlier this week, new features include support for Twitter Lists, the new Twitter retweets feature and geolocation. The new version is free to existing Tweetie 2 users. As we wrote in our complete review: Lists support is a big deal and thus far, it looks like Tweetie 2 for the iPhone handles the process in a very robust and intuitive way. When you click on the “More” tab in Tweetie 2, you are now presented with a listing of every list you subscribe to (whether you created it or just subscribe to it), making it easy to view the contents of that list with one click… Twitter’s native retweeting feature was implemented in many of the beta versions of Tweetie 2, but was disabled in the Read More

Tweetie 2.1 hits App Store, supports Twitter's new features

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:00:00 UTC +00:00

Download Squad

The much-anticipated Twitter client Tweetie 2.1 has finally arrived on the iPhone. It's the first major update to Tweetie 2, and it features support for Lists, Geotagging and native retweets. One of the most-anticipated changes is the way the app displays retweets, with a small version of the retweeter's icon inset on the original poster's. The "quote tweet" option is still available, so if you're a fan of the old-style retweets, you can still use them just as easily. Tweetie 2.1's support for the list feature includes the ability to create, edit and view lists. To access it, just go to your profile and scroll down. Other people's lists, of course, are found on their own profile pages. In terms of geolocation, tweets sent using Twitter's new geotag support will show up with a red pin icon in the corner. Clicking the pin will display the city the tweet was sent Read More

Weekly App Store Picks: November 14, 2009

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 20:01:38 UTC +00:00

TheAppleBlog

As the weekend arrives it’s time to take another look at the latest iPhone apps to hit the store. As ever, I’ve selected four of the freshest picks for you to check out. This week I’ve gathered a random assortment of app goodness for you to look at. There’s a great new sound toy, a tool for transforming your tweets into haikus, an app for Apple completists and a bombastic little tanks game. My top pick for this week is Into Infinity, a new sound toy from the folks at dublab. Plus, I’ve also been looking at Twiku, iCombat Lite and Mactracker. The iPhone seems to be just the right platform for interacting with sound, so whenever a new sound toy hits the App Store I’ve just got to take a look. INTO INFINITY, an art and music exhibition presented by dublab and Creative Commons, lets you create your own swirling Read More

Desert Island Apps – Number 5, with Corvida Raven

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:42:44 UTC +00:00

Today we ‘re continuing our series called ‘Desert Island Apps ‘. It ‘s based on a very long-running and brilliant BBC Radio show called ‘Desert Island Discs ‘. The premise of Desert Island Discs is simple and wonderful “ a guest is invited to choose the eight musical pieces (originally records) they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island. In our case of course we ‘re not interested in our guests ‘ choice of music. What we want to know is which six iPhone apps they would take with them if stranded on an island. We ‘re leaving the playing field pretty wide open for them “ letting them assume they ‘ve got WiFi and full connectivity on their island. I ‘m very happy to say that for today ‘s post we ‘ve got Corvida Raven as our ‘guest ‘. Corvida is a professional blogger, Read More

Tweetie 2.1 Coming Soon With Retweet, Geolocation, And Some List Support

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:09:35 UTC +00:00

TechCrunch

By now, Tweetie 2 has probably stormed your iPhone. If not, you should check it out; in our opinion, it’s the best Twitter iPhone app out there (and yes, definitely worth the $3 [iTunes link]). But developer Loren Brichter isn’t resting on his laurels. Instead, he’s hard at work on Tweetie 2.1. So what’s new? Well, there are a ton of small bug fixes, but also some pretty big additions. There are two that you’ll probably care the most about: New-style rewtweets and geolocation support. We got an early alpha build of 2.1 to try out, and it’s looking good. Retweets While Twitter has yet to enable the new-style retweets or geolocation for most accounts, Tweetie 2.1 offers a glimpse of how it will work. Tweets from accounts with the new retweet function show up in Tweetie 2.1′s stream. As promised, these are the tweets from the actual person who originally Read More

Apps of the Month: Best iPhone Apps of October 2009

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:23:09 UTC +00:00

MobileCrunch

100,000. That’s the number of iPhone apps that have been approved to be sold on Apple’s App Store. So how the hell do you decide which ones to buy? Well, you could surf through the App Store’s featured list, but that means you’re only buying the ones Apple wants you to buy. Or, you could scour through the App Store’s Genius recommendations – which are still not perfect in my opinion. To help you with this problem, we’re going to create a “best of” list of the iPhone apps we enjoyed the most each month. The first edition is for October 2009. Admittedly, this one doesn’t have as many indie apps as we would like, so we’re going to provide every developer with a way to get on the list. To submit an app for our “Apps of the Month” list, send details of your app (and, preferably, a review code) Read More

Tweetie 2.0

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:20:53 UTC +00:00

AppVee

Tweetie has been hailed as arguably the best twitter app for the iPhone and is used by many twitter users as their goto twitter app. Well now the second iteration of the popular app has been released and along with it comes a ton of great interface changes and speed improvements. With this new version of the app, users will have to pay again to get it but it is arguably worth the price being asked. The speed is top notch in this version of the app and refreshing your lists is as easy as pulling down and releasing. Landscape mode has been added as well as numurous compose features such as recent hashtags, @people picker and url shortening. The feature list is huge and almost impossible to cover in one short review. There are a few complaints though. Tweetie 1.0 had the ability to pick themes which has now been Read More

Poll: What's your favorite iPhone Twitter app?

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:55:00 UTC +00:00

CNET iPhone Atlas

Tweetie 2 adds a boatload of new features, including persistence: It returns you to where you left off the last time you used the app. Twitter apps are like candy bars: everybody's got a favorite. For me it's Milky Way and TweetDeck. Of course, there's always room for change. For instance, the Take 5 bar is increasingly my go-to treat (better hide your Halloween stash, kids), and I might just jump ship to Tweetie 2, which debuted in the App Store over the weekend. Priced at $2.99, Tweetie's the top-paid app in the Social Networking section of the store. New features in version 2 include an offline mode, new-message indicators, full landscape support, video uploads (for 3GS users), and faster overall performance. So this begs the question: what's your favorite Twitter app, and why? Vote in our poll! And, hey, if you're headed to the comments to talk up Twitter apps, Read More

Boxcar Reminds Us It’s Columbus Day With A Sale

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:57:34 UTC +00:00

Apple iPhone Apps

Did you know today was Columbus Day? I know I didn’t until I stumbled upon Boxcar‘s Columbus Day sale. Boxcar is a push-enabled Twitter, Facebook, and email app, at least in a sense. It isn’t meant to replace any of your favorite apps, it just makes them more useful with Push Notifications. Boxcar, when it was first released, was able to send you Push Notifications when you received mentions and direct messages via Twitter, but now it is even more powerful with the ability to send Push Notifications for Twitter trends and searches, Facebook notifications and messages, and emails. Boxcar now supports loads of different Twitter apps, including Twittelator, Tweetie, Tweetie 2, Twitterrific, Echofon, SimplyTweet, and many more. And, of course, it supports the Facebook iPhone app, so no matter which service you choose to use, Boxcar should be able to open it. Boxcar is normally priced at $2.99, but today and Read More

Tweetie for iPhone hits 2.0

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:30:00 UTC +00:00

Download Squad

by Nik Fletcher on October 10, 2009 at 11:30 AM We've covered iPhone Twitter clients to death here on Download Squad, but we simply couldn't help but post about Tweetie 2.0 which launched just yesterday. If you're not familiar with Tweetie - which won an Apple Design Award earlier in the year for version 1 - it's often touted as the best Twitter client for the iPhone platform, and this new version raises the bar in terms of features and experience. There's a tonne of new features (and an all-new underlying core to the application) - so here's just a few of my favourites that I've noticed: Tweetie 2.0 also heads into uncharted territory by being the first iPhone app to have a paid upgrade. Whilst this has caused much bickering from certain "celebrities", given that a copy of Tweetie 2.0 is just $2.99 for all users it's not going to Read More

Tweetie 2 Descends From The AppStore Gods. What A Day It’s Been!

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 01:40:53 UTC +00:00

The App Era

October 9th, 2009 James Isabel You’ve heard the arguments from both sides. But the question remains, is the new app worth upgrading to? What’s New? Mashable seems to like the app and summarizes some of the new version’s best features: How many of those features are in our favorite Twittelator Pro twitter iPhone client? We’ll leave that question open for now. Decision… Regarding the question whether to get it or not, we’ll be quick to say this: if you want Tweetie’s design and implementation, grab it. If you think you want more features and editable settings, go find another client. That’s our initial decision until we get to play with the app a little more, and as we discover some of its hidden wealth (if there’s any). For now, approach at your own risk… You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. Read More

iPhone iSpazio

9 Oct 2009 alle 23:59 Produttore: atebits | Download Via: AppStore | Prezzo: 2,39€ E’ finalmente arrivata la nuova versione di uno dei più intuitivi e famosi client per Twitter. Si tratta di Tweetie 2 e purtroppo viene venduta separatamente dalla versione precedente poichè Apple non prevede aggiornamenti a pagamento in AppStore. Detto questo, passiamo ad elencare le nuove caratteristiche di quest’applicazione vincitrice dell’Apple Design Award 2009: In definitiva, Tweetie 2 è davvero molto più completo della versione precedente. Ci sono state tante polemiche sul prezzo e sul fatto di doverlo riacquistare ma tutto sommato pensiamo che ne valga la pena. Tweetie 2 è compatibile con iPhone ed iPod Touch, richiede il firmware 3.0 o successivo ed è localizzato in Inglese.
