Since writing about Twitterrific and TwitterFon, I see myself using Tweetie.
Now, Tweetie 2 for iPhone is released and it’s definately my primary Twitter client. For geeky functions there’s Twittelator Pro. But its definately not an everyday app.

TwitterFon vs Tweetie
April 30th, 2009
Today I bought Tweetie app for iPhone, for $2.99. I still prefer TwitterFon over Tweetie after having played with a new app for some time.
- TwitterFon highlights new messages and places a badge when updates arrive.
- Smaller font of TwitterFon allows to read more.
- TF displays dates in a easily readable form (e.g. ‘5 min ago’).
Though, TwitterFon isn’t quite as good as Tweetie sometimes:
- Worse link management: it’s hart to tap on a small blue circle.
- Manages the only account.
- Can’t find users by name, so it’s hard to follow new users.
- Doesn’t have an option to make a web link to your current geolocation.
