It\'s is possible that the information within this article is now out of date or updated.

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
