About a month ago or so, Twitter bought Tweetie, which is a Twitter client for the Mac and iPhone designed by atebits. Just a few nights ago, Tweetie 2 was pulled from the App Store on the iPhone and a few hours later Tweetie 3 (Now known as “Twitter) was released to the store for free and as a free update for users who already have Tweetie. Ever since the app first came out, it has been my absolute favorite Twitter client of them all and don’t see myself using another anytime soon. Not many things have changed in the new iPhone app, but not much has changed since Tweetie 2. It still has the elegant design, but I have noticed it freezes up on some actions in which the previous version. Another thing that has changed is the retweet option. Previously, you were able to choose what type of format you want to retweet in, but now it is just the standard. retweets also have a different way of showing up in your feed, which does get a little confusing if you’re not used to it. Finally, the search option has definitely gotten an improvement. It now allows you to search users and/or tweets by their location (nearby), everyone, or just your friends. It also allows you to manage your Twitter lists and scroll through popular tweets on a nice interface. Overall, I think this is a must have app, especially since it is now Twitter’s official app for iPhone and iPod Touch. Not to mention, it’s free!
