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

Im actually glad I dont have a supported phone. This is another one of those the entire world in one applications. Heres 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 youve used this app and have some thoughts to share, by all means do so in the comments and Ill update this paragraph accordingly.

Jitter

Jitter is Java based, so its almost guaranteed this one will work on your phone. Very minimal, low bandwidth, text only. A tiny bit ugly, but certainly functional. Im a little confused why it had people in the send a direct message to list that Ive 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. Its 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 its 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 its 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 dont have something nice to say, dont say anything. Im making an exception here. Seriously, dont download this software if all youre 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 wasnt 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 dont 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 somethings 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) doesnt 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 youre determined to find a simple web based Twitter client, Id skip this one.

Screenshots:


At least Update works

Twitter Email

There are a few 3rd party services such as http://emailtwitter.com, but Im not sure Id recommend them. Though you can set up an account with them so you dont have to email your password each time you want to update, its still not ideal. A better solution might be to sign up for tumblr, find the private email address used to update your tumbl blog (its 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 Ill update accordingly.

back to top


Twitter Flashlite

I dont have a Flashlite enabled phone, so I couldnt 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. Ive tried leaving a comment on the devs site asking for some screenshots, but Im 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 youre you. If you havent added your IM address to Twitter, follow the first set of instructions. If youve added your IM address but your updates arent 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!

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 wont charge you anything for sending the SMS messages, but your cellular provider might.

    Twitter Webdebolsillo

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

    TwitToday

    Looks brilliant. Couldnt 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 dont want to wait to launch an app, I dont want lots of features. I just want something to take my message and post it. Which is exactly my view. Im bummed I cant give this one a shot. Or I should say, Im bummed Im 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. Youll 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 dont have a touch-screen Windows Mobile device, I couldnt actually test this one. Anyone who uses it regularly and has an opinion, please feel free to share it in the comments and Ill update this paragraph. Twobile can be downloaded here.

    Good post - Ive 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? Ive 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 wouldnt 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 youve 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.
