20 sensi usare Twitter dal vostro telefono mobile

da Ross McKillop su 16 aprile 2008

Blackberry Symbian Mobile di Windows iPhone iPod

Lo ammetto Alright, io ho ho bevuto il kool-sussidio di Twitter. Per un istante ero in “io non mi preoccupo che cosa state facendo ora„ l'accampamento, ma da allora ho scoperto che realmente è un senso grande continuare sugli eventi correnti, trovare la gente interessante e restare in contatto. E come un certo numero di geeks, trasporto sempre parecchi dispositivi mobili del Internet. Così ho dato altretanti clienti/servizi mobili di Twitter una prova e qui sono che cosa ho trovato.

Nome Piattaforma

Twapper fotoricettore
Twobile Mobile 5 di Windows o sopra il dispositivo del Touch-screen (nessun lavoro di touch-screen=no)


ceTwit

Impianti come fatto pubblicità a. L'autore esamina su un HTC TyTN II (AT&T 8525) e su un Blackjack di Samsung, ma ha provato a rendere esso Smartphone amichevole. Per che cosa vale, ha funzionato come un fascino sul mio HTC S621. Bene, le icone dell'utente non sono state visualizzate, ma considererei che una caratteristica non un insetto, come usa meno larghezza di banda (canadesi apprezzeranno quello). Aggiornamento: Ho ottenuto in tocco con l'autore ed ha confermato intenzionalmente che la versione di Smartphone non sostiene i avatars. Di tutto il Windows che i clienti mobili di Twitter io hanno provato, questo è quello che rimane acces il mio Smartphone. Trasferimento dal sistema centrale verso i satelliti qui.

Hahlo

Another web based Twitter client designed specifically for iPhones and/or iPod Touches. So no jailbreaking or software installations required - just point Safari to http://hahlo.com. Of the web based clients, this one was the most “buggy” for me. A direct message sent to a friend apparently just disappeared into the ether. With that said, it does have a lot of features and the UI is decent.

Jargong

I’m actually glad I don’t have a supported phone. This is another one of those “the entire world in one” applications. Here’s their schtick - Jargong is Social Networking (Flickr and Twitter), Instant Messaging (MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk and Jabber) and Feeds (Google Reader) in a single client application”. Phew. If you’ve used this app and have some thoughts to share, by all means do so in the comments and I’ll update this paragraph accordingly.

Jitter

Jitter is Java based, so it’s almost guaranteed this one will work on your phone. Very minimal, low bandwidth, text only. A tiny bit ugly, but certainly functional. I’m a little confused why it had people in the “send a direct message to” list that I’ve never added to Twitter, but eh, no big deal. Perhaps the coder assumed everyone adds Scoble to Twitter.

MobileTwitter

I think this was the first actual Twitter app for jailbroken iPhones and iPod Touches. I could be totally wrong. It’s functional, not ugly, what more can I say. It looks a lot like the web interfaces (PocketTweets etc). But it has a cool icon for your Dashboard. Install it via Installer.app.

PocketTweets

Another web based interface to Twitter, but very specifically created for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch. Just visit http://www.pockettweets.com from your iPhone/iPod Touch. It is very slick, loads quickly and it’s pretty feature rich. Of the web based Twitter interfaces for the iPhone, this one is my favorite.

psychzzz

Very plain. Kinda blah. Only allows you to update Twitter, not read friends updates etc. But it gets the job done, and it’s certainly low bandwidth. Just point your mobile browser to http://mobi.psychzzz.com. You an also run a few other tools from the page, like “Domain Checker” and “Site Ping”.

SQIJ

I try to stick to the saying “if you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything”. I’m making an exception here. Seriously, don’t download this software if all you’re looking for is a Twitter client. SQIJ is actually a collection of “Applets”, and Twitter happens to be one of them. If the other Applets appeal to you, and you want a Twitter client, maybe this software is for you. Things that annoyed me: you have to run a setup.exe w/ your phone docked (just give me the .cab please), you have to create a SQIJ account in order to add the Twitter applet and it was slow as death. With all of that said, the actual UI wasn’t totally ugly or hard to use.

ThinCloud Twitter

This is a web-based Twitter client designed specifically for iPhones and/or iPod Touches. That means you don’t need to have a jail-broken device, just load https://twitter.thincloud.com/login in Safari. I preferred PocketTweets, but you may not.

twitter2go

Uhhh something’s awry at twitter2go.com. Or at least in Internet Explorer Mobile. The “bookmark” function (which is a bit of a security risk as it saves your username and password in plain text) doesn’t work, trying to view someones status will only display one specific user (no matter what name you enter). The update feature, however, works perfectly fine. Even if you’re determined to find a simple web based Twitter client, I’d skip this one.

Screenshots:


At least Update works

Twitter Email

There are a few 3rd party services such as http://emailtwitter.com, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them. Though you can set up an account with them so you don’t have to email your password each time you want to update, it’s still not ideal. A better solution might be to sign up for tumblr, find the private email address used to update your tumbl blog (it’s in the “goodies” section”) and then use http://twitterfeed.com to import your tumble blog RSS feed.

Twitteresce

For some reason, Twitteresce fails to install (on my Java J2ME enabled phone). I transferred the .jad file to my phone several different ways, and I get a default “this Midlet failed to install” error. Such is life. If you have an experience using this client, please feel free to leave a comment below and I’ll update accordingly.

back to top


Twitter Flashlite

I don’t have a Flashlite enabled phone, so I couldn’t give this one a try. From the dev: “The application just updates the status message but I am thinking to add support for other Twitter APIs. There are bugs in application (not saving credentials in SharedObject, bad graphics, bad user-interaction (UI, soft-key-mapping). I would post the code later after fixing/cleaning.” I’ve tried leaving a comment on the devs site asking for some screenshots, but I’m not sure it went through. Ah well.

Twitter IM

From: http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=28

Twitter asks that you verify your Jabber, Gtalk and Live Journal chat addresses, just to make sure that you’re you. If you haven’t added your IM address to Twitter, follow the first set of instructions. If you’ve added your IM address but your updates aren’t posting, skip down to the second set of instructions.

  1. Log in to Twitter.
  2. Click on the Settings link in the top navigation bar.
  3. Click on the Phone & IM link.
  4. Click to verify your IM account. That should do it!

Twitter Mobile Home

Point your mobile browser to http://m.twitter.com/login. Login. Done.

Twitter SMS

First see: How to activate your phone for Twitter

Then text your update to:

  • In the US, use 40404.
  • In Canada, use 21212.
  • In India, use 5566511.
  • Anywhere else, use +44 7624 801423
  • Note that Twitter won’t charge you anything for sending the SMS messages, but your cellular provider might.

    Twitter Webdebolsillo

    It works, it seems to have all the features you’d want, and it’s entirely in Spanish. If I could read Spanish, I’d have more to comment on, but even from just clicking around I was able to find most of the features you’d expect (friends timeline, public timeline, direct messages, etc).

    TwitToday

    Looks brilliant. Couldn’t get it to show up on a Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone today screen (non-touchscreen device). As the author states “When posting a tweet, the key is speed. I don?t want to wait to launch an app, I don?t want lots of features. I just want something to take my message and post it.” Which is exactly my view. I’m bummed I can’t give this one a shot. Or I should say, I’m bummed I’m not smart enough to figure out a way to get this on my today screen.

    Twapper

    Here goes. Twapper is a 30 Boxes and Twitter mashup. Kind of. Visit http://m.30boxes.com/twapper in any mobile web browser (or regular browser) and enter a username. You’ll see their updates and friends updates. Or, go directly to their username by using the URL http://m.30boxes.com/twapper/rossm, where rossm is the user you want to view. If you want to update your Twitter status, send direct messages etc - join 30 Boxes, add twitter to your Web Stuff, and post an update to twitter from their Status line. Then login on your mobile and you are good to go. Too much of a hassle for me, so no screenshots for you!

    Twobile

    Since I don’t have a touch-screen Windows Mobile device, I couldn’t actually test this one. Anyone who uses it regularly and has an opinion, please feel free to share it in the comments and I’ll update this paragraph. Twobile can be downloaded here.

    Good post - I’ve tried a lot of these out, and there are a lot of good ones.
    Another one for the iPhone / Touch jailbreak crowd is Twinkle - which offers Locate Me features so you can see who is tweeting near you. We did a mini-review of it here:

    Sorry to hear you had trouble with TwitToday. Did you install it to main memory? I’ve heard of people having problems with Today screen plugins if they are installed to storage cards.

    5 Christy 04.18.08 at 9:04 pm

    You forgot about TwitterBerry! My Blackberry wouldn’t be nearly as much fun without this app.

    6 Matthew J 04.21.08 at 7:25 am

    Twitter2Go works fine for me and is really simple. I can view the user name for anyone on the system. Maybe there was a problem with the Twitter API when you tried but you might want to try again.

    Very nice review — Thank You

    7 gocyclones 04.30.08 at 11:22 pm

    You must check out http://m.slandr.net/ It is working great on my BB Pearl. It has replies, direct messaging, users overview, search and geo. Really nice web client!

    8 Steve Ringtones 07.18.08 at 6:01 am

    Thanks for the links.

    9 ccroucher 07.31.08 at 2:14 pm

    If you are running a Smartphone or Pocket PC that has the Windows Live Messenger client running on it you can also add as one of your contacts and once you’ve authenticated to the http://ping.fm website you can begin tweeting your brains out. It works quite well.

    Check this Twitter app for Java equiped phones (MIDP2) , “Twitter Mobile” . Offers some really good features and probably has the best UI from all the apps out there. Free to download from http://www.twittermobile.co.uk/index.php.
