@String- BeejiveIM w/Push isn't working for Yahoo. RT @BeejiveIM There is an issue with Yahoo due to a change on Yahoo's servers.

Personally i use tweetdeck on both my iPhone and Mac.

iTwitter push notification only works when receiving DM and mention. But there is a catch, push notification only works when receiving DM and mentions from another iTwitter user.

Other Twitter related push notification apps are:
1. IM+ ($4.99) is a instant messaging apps that are the first apps that provide twitter push notification.
2. Tweet Push ($0.99 + $0.99/months/account) - that pushes your tweets but is not a full-fledged Twitter client. Instead, it uses your preferred Twitter client (Twittelator, Tweetie, Twitterfon or Twitterrific). this is subscription based, It'll cost 99 cents every month for each Twitter account you want to use it on - Not recommended
3. Boxcar ($2.99) checks your Twitter account every 2 minutes for mentions and DM and Push you the message AND let you see it in your preferred Twitter client like Tweet Push
4. Twitbit ($4.99) is a full fledge twitter client that allows you to receive push notifications for mentions and DM
5. iTweetreply ($1.99) similar to boxcar, it allows u to link it to your other primary twitter applications. The application itself is a simple sms like twitter applications

There are some other push notification application that should work with twitter too, e.g. Fring (Free) - not too sure on how long it will stay connected and whether it will push twitter messages to you.

Err, I don't think I know that much about twitter apps, the information i gave are available on the internet. The only twitter related client in my iPhone are Tweetdeck, and IM+

Out of topic: the most innovative twitter update application is Qtweeter (only available on jailbroken device) It is the fastest way for you to update your twitter and facebook from iPhone. But 1 major problem with Qtweeter is, it will make your iPhone less responsive over the time.

cheers

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

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/hcMf2

The point being, how long will it keep u connected and still push messages to you after you quit the application. Most free IM apps that push to you only stay connected max 30 minutes (e.g. nimbuzz, ebuddy and etc.), while Beejive, IM+ and maybe Agile messenger will let u stay connected for at least a day after you quit the application.

If you think the free ebuddy is great, I think you should try Nimbuzz too (it seems better to me, in terms of UI)

Cheers,

Facebook 3.0 is now available in AppStore, yeah

u can get push notification with Gmail free now...no need GPush

try tweetie 2, echofon or tweetdeck

I guess u hvnt actually try any of those apps...

it is different from the average IM on IM+ or Beejive.

Define "We"

Quite a number of iPhone users here will definitely disagree with your statement

@diinozilla I agree with tinkerbel on sticking with single apps, my point being, please don't put words in other ppl mouth by saying 'we' without having tested it urself! not everyone are having problem with WiFi/3G data plan/pricing

And ur post sounds very intimidating to the person who ask about Whatapp. He is just asking the opinion of ppl who have actually use it. and u just copy and paste information from AppStore. Peace!

BTW I still use beejive for normal IM connectivity

you can use boxcar for friends timeline notification, and u can link it to ur favorite Twitter app too. But yea, as tinkerbel said, it will be very heavy on ur battery, not to mention annoying too. I used to use SMS Twitter notification and it is super annoying, lol

stalker alert, LOL jk

use MobileMe find my iPhone service or loopt mix app?
