Twinkle: Another Twitter Client in App Store

Thursday July 17, 2008 8:55 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

Tapulous has released a new twitter client into the App store today: Twinkle [App Store]. Like Twitterific [App Store] before it, Twinkle provides users with a native application to access Twitter.com, a social networking and micro blogging tool.

The primary differentiating features of Twinkle is the addition of Location Services which allows you to find other users near your location.

Discover, connect and send messages to people nearby. Upload photos and update your Twitter account. Contact old friends and make new ones, all with Twinkle, the location-aware network for iPhone and iPod touch.

Features
- Chat with people nearby
- Broadcast what you're up to
- Attach pictures
- Update your location
- Full Twitter support

One of the better apps from the old Installer is now available in firmware 2.0. I will have a full review in a bit.

Go ahead and download this free app!

Love it so far! Seems to scroll a lot smoother and just be zippier than twitterific and twittilator.

Also, I believe they're running a parallel "twitter" service that just uses your email address as username, you can also link your twitter account in settings, but its interesting that it's creating another service. neato

I love the updated interface. It looks like OS X Leopard a little bit, which is a good thing!

How do you change your "identity?" I made a typo and now it won't change.

At least you got asked for an identity - for me it just picked one of my email addresses and websites and used that without even asking! I don't know where it got it from as I've never been a Twinkle user before.

Plus it is crashing whenever I try to tap on any links in a tweet.

So far I'm preferring Twittelator...

To change my identity, I just erased my email and went to enter another one. It then let me change it.

Finally I was really hating that other app. I really miss twinkle from when I had it on the installer

I can change my email address fine, but it's not changing my username/status/title.
