The Official PPCGeeks Twitter Thread

zero157h7 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009, 01:16 PM

So I was trying to decide on a Twitter application to use on my device and thought, man it would be nice if there were some breakdowns and comparisons of the various twitter apps for our phones out there. So I decided to start a thread here.

In this post I will post various Twitter apps, links to downloads, descriptions and thoughts on each app as I have used it. Feel free to discuss your thoughts on these apps as well. If there are any particularly insightful review I may update them with the app.

In the following post, I will post any ppcgeeks member's (who wants to be added) Twitter username. Just post it in this thread or PM and I will update the list.

After that I will post general information or desktop apps that may be interesting to Twitter users.

Feel free to post any apps that I may have missed and I will try to keep the first couple of posts up to date with those and new ones that are released.

If you do not want to use an app, you can access the site at m.twitter.com on your device.

Also, I decided ot go ahead and attach cabs if available. Remember it is possible something here has not been updated so it may be best to visit the home page for a product and see if a newer version is available.

PPC Twitter Apps:

Fring- An application that will connect you to various communication portals including AIM, Yahoo Chat, gchat, Facebook and Twitter. They have just recently added the Twitter 2.0 function to allow tweeting. It also has a today plugin.

Go to m.fring.com from your device or here from your pc.

PocketTwit- The blog of the developer of pocketwit. Go HERE for a direct download of Pockettit.

Tiny Twitter- Go HERE for a direct download of the cab.

Twit Today-This app allows one to tweet directly from their today screen, that is if you still actually use your today screen. It does not have any capability to receive tweets. Go HERE to navigate to the download page.

Twobile- Go HERE to navigate to Twobile download.

Hello TwitFace Here is an article about this app. Here is a download page for those interested in trying it out. Apparently this device will handle twitter and facebook.

ceTwit- Go to this post to see what Santod says about ceTwit. He has also attached the program for download.

Twikni- Thanks to badboy8813 for posting this here in the touch pro thread. Direct download.

Shozu- Shozu is an application that does many things other than work as a twitter client. Go here to read their description on what Shozu is.

Do you have Windows Mobile 6.5? Go to post 112 to get tweet from your titanium today screen or post 121 to see an app that will actually show tweets of folks you follow.

Removed twitula from the list. From what I can tell, it is no longer under development.

To go straight to these accounts type www.twitter.com/accountname
To direct tweet them begin your tweet with @username

Twibes- Think twitter/tribes
Any twitter account can create 3 so I created the following:
www.twibes.com/ppcgeeks
www.twibes.com/windowsmobile
If anyone creates another twibes group let me know and I will put it on this list.

I've only used pocketwit and I must say I'm beyond amazed of well it works with the tp and the all Option's it has is great! I have fring too and its pretty cool..but hands down I can't get pass how well pocketwit is! If you like it you can donate too

but it is free

Priest · #5 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009, 02:47 PM

I am also a PockeTwit user and I absolutely love it. The app is being actively developed and has a great developer behind it who is trying to make it the best it can be. And best of all, it's free.

It can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/pocketwit/

(I am totally not affiliated with PockeTwit, I just love the program!)

**InvincibleLiving** · #6 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009, 03:42 PM

great thread idea... i'll be joining the twits in the next few days to expand the reach of my blog. *cough-in-my-signature-cough* sorry dealing with allergies...

squarerootz · #7 (**permalink**) 04-02-2009, 04:53 PM

+1 for PockeTwit on the TP. Works very well and the developers always updating it. The updates are easy too cause everytime one is available his version of AppToDate lets you know. I'm constantly on Twitter so if you wanna follow me do so @soulreservoir.

Keir333 · #10 (**permalink**) 04-04-2009, 03:15 AM

My Twitter name is the same as it is here-

Keir333

I haven't had a chance to try any Twitter apps for the
PPC yet, but now I'm gonna give some of the ones posted
here a try.

Great idea for a thread!
