Do you use Twitter? Do you use an iPhone?

If you answered yes to both of those, there is an article out there that you must read. Gizmodo has done a stellar job comparing every Twitter solution offered for the iPhone. I am quite happy with the Twitterific when I use my iPhone, but since I started using it, there are literally dozens more to choose from. Here is the quick list…

• Best Overall: Tweetie
• Best Paid: Tweetie
• Best Free: Twitterfon
• Most Powerful: Twittelator Pro
• Best Tweet-Only: Tweeter
• Worst Twitter App Ever in the History of Twitter Ever: Tweetion
• Creepiest: Twittervision

I suggest heading over to Gizmodo to check out the article. It’s really good. If you do twitter, you can catch me when I tweet (on/off. More off than on) and you can also catch Mobilitysite on twitter for fast updates.

      Chris, you most definitely need to try Twitterfon. I started off using Twitteriffic but after using Twitterfon for a bit I made the switch. You can easily view profiles, do replies, DMs and retweets but the best feature is that you can open conversation that shows the timeline of a full tweet conversation. Very slick…and free!

      One pet peeve I had with Twitteriffic was that when you open if you go right to the top of the list of tweets and it was not a simple thing to see where the new messages started in the list. With Twitterfon they are changed to a different colour and you start at the bottom of the unread messages automatically.

      Despite the name, Twittelator (free version) does a reasonable job. I like its grouping list. Its one flaw is the Direct Messaging reply… it is confusing and can end up as a public tweet.

      Thanks for sharing the link to this great round-up. I started out, probably like many others, using Twitterific and it was a great basic Twitter app for my iPhone. Then, I moved on to Twittelator. Now, my main stay is Tweetie because it includes all the features I want and more. After reading Darren’s comment above I think I’ll have to also check out Twitterfon.
