iPhone Twitter Client Roundup
Posted by Vincent Ferrari in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch)" @ 02:00 PM
"When our desire to connect and communicate with one another crashed headlong in to the digital behemoth that is the Internet, we ended up with Twitter: a true 21st Century social phenomenon. Like a chimerical parrot, each head squawking a different one-liner, Twitter can seem odd to the casual observer. Allowing users to post ultra-short updates, a quick tour 'round Twitter will find normal folk, celebrities and even politicians rubbing shoulders and swapping verbs (even TAB is tweeting away). As a frequent tweeter, I decided it was time to identify the ultimate Twitter app for the iPhone. Diving headlong in to the App Store, I emerged from its murky depths with 12 different apps."
An excellent roundup of Twitter clients, and while I don't agree with all the assessments (Twittelator Pro has been my client of choice since I got my iPhone), there's plenty of detail and a nice side by side comparison chart to go by. If you're in the market for a new Twitter client for the iPhone, check this article out first. While you're at it, add us so you'll know when we publish a new article on the site.
