With like a new app being developed every minute in the AppStore, finding a gem is quite a challenge. Such is the Twitbird lite, a free app that do so much more. Twitbird is a twitter app for the Iphone or Ipod touch running on OS 3.0 or higher. If you don't know what twitter is you can search it right in my google widget in right sidebar.
It's homepage supports badge icon that lets you see your unread tweets from your followers, @mentions, DMs, nearby tweets and trends. One of the note worthy features I'm loving in this app is the landscape support. I've come across many twitter apps that offer this functionality but not with so much additional features Twitbird offers.
It supports conversational threaded tweets like in our beloved instant messaging. It's going to show either your following's threaded tweets or your own threaded @replies.
It also features inline pic viewing so you don't actually have to click on the link of twitpic of yfrog to view to attached picture.
What I'm lovin with the Twitbird lite:
- landscape tweeting
- conversational threaded tweets like in IMs
- support for more than 1 twitter account
- built in browser with option to send the opened link as mail.
- email tweets option
- badges to show unread tweets in the homepage (not in the iphone homescreen)
- auto refresh setting
- push notification ( the Twitbird Pro offers push)
- badge icon in the iphone homescreen (can't hurt to wish for this either)
