TweetDeck “ one of, or the, most popular desktop Twitter apps “ has now got an iPhone app companion. It launched last night, it ‘s free, and a lot of folks are very excited about it.
I have to admit, I ‘m not as excited as others “ largely because I tried the desktop apps a few times and it never grabbed me. I never got into creating and using groups, which let you properly take advantage of its powerful columns feature. I ‘m sure if I used these I ‘d be more jazzed up about the iPhone app.
Here are some of TweeDeck for iPhone ‘s features:
- Manage multiple Twitter accounts
- View all tweets in real time
- View notifications for new tweets received
- Use columns to create your personal dashboard
- Sync with your existing TweetDeck columns
- Create groups to easily follow all your friends
- Share photos with Twitpic and YFrog
- Shorten and share links with your favorite URL shortener
- Follow and un-follow people
- Shake your phone to refresh columns
That ‘s a good list. One of my main problems with TweetDeck “ on both the desktop and the iPhone “ is the interface. It just feels too busy and cluttered, and hence not friendly, to me. I much prefer the UIs in Twitterrific and Tweetie.
I haven ‘t spent much time with the iPhone app yet though. I ‘m going to try it out a little more “ as I ‘m a sucker for Twitter apps, and I want to give the groups thing a try at some point.
What do you all think of TweetDeck? What are your favorite iPhone Twitter apps?
