Retweets in Birdfeed are always sent from the user rather than as a direct forward, although Birdfeed allows you to choose from four different retweet formats. Birdfeed also lacks support for some of Twitter’s other new features such as Twitter Lists and the new direct retweet feature. Custom searches saved from the Twitter web site are not available. A search history is maintained, and searches can be saved locally on the device. Although Birdfeed cannot save multiple drafts, the tweet in progress is saved until it is either sent or manually cleared.īirdfeed also provides the ability to search Twitter, including finding tweets near the user’s current location and browsing through trends. Birdfeed provides URL shortening automatically via tr.im. When composing new tweets users can add their current location and post photos from the camera or saved photo library using either yfrog or TwitPic. Birdfeed also nicely provides a timestamp bookmark whenever new tweets are loaded so you can see where you left off in your Twitter stream. Twitter timelines are presented as a series of conversation bubbles which you can tap on to view more details. A main menu provides quick access to the user’s timeline, mentions, direct messages, and favorites as well as options to view their own profile, tweets, or perform a search. Rather than trying to be all things to all users, Birdfeed ($3) focuses on providing a simple and clean user interface with a focus on the key features that most Twitter users are likely to need. It should be noted that, unlike most of the other Twitter applications we’ve reviewed, Brizzly is not a direct Twitter client, but interfaces with Twitter through the service. The new application retains a similar UI design to its predecessor and adds support for posting pictures to Brizzly or Flickr, saving searches online, Twitter Lists and integration into specific features such as Brizzly Guides. The application has been re-released as Brizzly for Twitter (free), a redesigned Twitter client that interfaces with the online reader service. UPDATE (03-11-2010): As of March 10, 2010, Birdfeed has been discontinued and removed from the App Store. Users should be aware that these notifications are not coming directly from Twitter, but rather from the application developer’s web site, which must be authorized to access the user’s Twitter account. Those that do are relying on their own servers to monitor the user’s Twitter account on their behalf and send out notifications as required. At this point Twitter has not implemented their own Push Notification server, and as a result, relatively few applications provide Push Notification support. It’s worth noting, however, that Push Notifications require a server on the Internet to send the notification from Twitter’s servers to your iPhone. Ideally suited for social communication services such as Twitter, Push Notifications can be used to alert you to new mentions or direct messages from other Twitter users. Further, many features that were previously less common among Twitter applications have now become almost standard, including features such as camera and GPS integration, offline access, and support for multiple accounts.Īnother new development since we last looked at Twitter applications was the introduction of Push Notifications in iPhone OS 3.0. There have been some significant changes in the last year with many of these applications in order to keep up with the evolution of the Twitter platform and provide access to new Twitter and iPhone features such as Twitter Lists, geotagging, video recording, and Push Notifications. ![]()
