Several months ago (right before I dropped off the face of this blog…) I blogged about a few Twitter applications - Twhirl, Twitterific, Twittelator. Since then, I’ve changed my mind. I’m now using two totally different aps. Both on my PC and on my iPod Touch iPhone.
On my PC, I’ve moved from Twhirl to TweetDeck. TweetDeck is a free app that features the glorious ability to spellcheck as you type. It also splits your main feed into topics or group specific columns. You can either have columns fanned out on your screen or resize it according to your preferences.
I’ve only been enjoying it for a couple of days, but so far I like it quite a lot.
On my iPhone, I’ve switched to Tweetie. I love this application!
Tweets show up as bubble conversations. My favorite feature is that it has it’s own built-in Internet browser, so clicking links doesn’t drop you out of the application.
