Danish Khan's Thoughts Entrepreneurship, Programming, and Life

Twinkle was a good client it would show the tweets as bubbles kind of like using iChat. The best part that I liked about it was the ability to see nearby tweets. However, the downside was that they were not nearby tweets from twitter, but rather tweets sent by other twinkle users. Also, you had to create a tapulous account to use twinkle. The interface was nice and the load time was acceptable.

Twitterfon does everything twinkle does, but faster and nicer without having to create another account as well. You can easily retweet and reply, which is really nice. Also, you can follow a conversation as if it was an IM on iChat or like the SMS style on the iPhone. The other great part is that it opens up links in twitterfon’s own browser, which is really nice and you can easily send either a tweet with the url, open the url in safari, or email the url to someone. The other great thing that sold me on twitterfon was the fact that you could search for keywords with the client and search for nearby tweets that were sent by all nearby twitter users not just people using a specific client like twinkle.
