What's New in Version 3.0

Tweetie is now Twitter! We didn't just do a name change, we've added a bunch of new stuff.

  • Search has been reorganized, now you can search all tweets and find users in the same spot, view Top Tweets and Browse Suggested users.
  • Search results now include Top Tweets, try it with Trends...winner combo!
  • You can now use Twitter without an account! Search, Browse uses, view trends and top tweets.
  • Sign-up is now available within the application as well, complete with Suggested user list.
  • More tab has been re-organized to accomplish all this. Users with one account can add a second account under the Accounts and Settings button here.
  • Actions we've found people use most, like Retweet have been moved to the main actions bar.
  • Minor tweaks were made to tweet rendering so they match Twitter.com tweets

I'm not a great Twitter'er, but this is the app that I ultimately selected to buy....and now it is free...having been bought out by the folks at Twitter to become their official app. Its was Tweetie and now it's Twitter. It's an interesting move to see Twitter acquiring an application, as their moves to date haven't been all that dramatic to date.

The app is exceptionally easy to use and it's great that the new version can be used by non-Twitter users to do things like search etc.

I've always liked doing the search for Twitter posts nearby, but this app was always one of the hardest I felt to get this to happen. This hasn't change with this version....it's still a bit hard, but easier than it was.

Retweeting (something I'm violently opposed to because of the amount of Tweet spam it creates) gains greater prominence and that's understandable given its popularity as an activity.

Composing tweets is exceptionally easy and the ability to shorten URLs as you are typing up your tweet is superb. I'd still love to see push notifications (there are other apps that will do that) but I guess that will come in a future version maybe?
