Hey guys, I'm about to get the iPhone 3G S at the end of the week and I'm a power Twitter user. So I was wondering what is the most recommended Twitter app for the iPhone?
I've heard that Tweetie is good, but need to pay $2.99. Also heard that Tweetdeck is very good for people who are familiar with Twitter and its free. But these two don't have push notifications. So that brings iTwitter into the question.
What are your views on Twitter apps? Push notifications isn't a must but it would definitely be cool to have.

@psyeo
You mentioned you use IM+. I'd like to ask, are Fring and IM+ similar apps? If yes, then which is better and what are the differences?

QUOTE(psyeo @ Jul 27 2009, 04:02 PM) yes they are both instant messaging apps. For Instant messaging wise, I personally prefer Beejive over IM+. IM+ and Beejive are both full fledge Instant Messaging Apps with nice UI. While Fring I would say they focus more on VoIP ( i don't really like their UI) and I can't figure out how the Push Notification for Fring works for skype and other instant messaging client (As they don't have the "remain login period" setting). Currently I'm not using Fring at all. The only good thing about Fring is, it is free. For Twitter Push notification wise, I can't say much about IM+ and Fring, as I don't Get DM and mention on twitter that often. hope that helps  I see. So are you saying that for IM purposes alone (not talking about Twitter) you would recommend Beejive and IM+ over Fring? How much are Beejive and IM+? |

QUOTE(psyeo @ Jul 27 2009, 04:21 PM) Yup, for IM purpose and if u wanna stay connected for more than 30 minutes after you quit and still receive push notification, go for Beejive and Im+ The price of Beejive and IM+ are $9.99 and $4.99 Currently Beejive allows you to stay connected after exiting the apps for max 24 hours, while IM+ allows you to stay connected for max 3 days. There other IM apps that I have yet to try, such as agile messenger. and if you're a heavy Yahoo IMer, you can go for their default Yahoo Messenger for free, and the best thing is, it allows you to stay connected for up to 2 weeks here is a list of push notification enabled apps for those who are interested http://bit.ly/hcMf2Thank you very much for the advice and recommendations. |
