After a period of long wait, which almost feels like forever, Tweetbot 3 for iPhone has been finally released on the App Store, and as promised by its dev a while back, has been redesigned from the ground up to cater to the look and feel of iOS 7. More details and as well as direct App Store link can be found right here.
Any Twitter user will be more than aware that the San Francisco based company isn’t shy when it comes to making changes. Historical amendments around their developer focused API caused more than its fair share of controversy when introduced earlier this year. The many millions of registered Twitter users have also been subjected to various changes over the company's lifespan with the introduction of sponsored tweets showing up in timelines. After a period of public inactivity, the changes are happening again, but this time involving a relatively minor tweak on how direct messages currently work.
When Microsoft launched a Web-based recreation of the Hover game that shipped with Windows 95, we felt our nostalgic heart strings being tugged with surprising veracity. The Windows 95 era was a simpler time, pre-social networks and long before smartphones were something we all take for granted.
The official Twitter app has taken a fair bit of stick over the years, especially with the likes of Tweetbot hanging around, but it's fair to say that in recent times, things have improved dramatically. Today, Twitter for Android and iOS have both been given rudimentary updates, with the main alteration being that conversations between tweeters are now clearer, rather than showing up as individual tweets.
Facebook and Twitter are easily the two largest social networks in the world, but while the former commands the lion's share of a user base, both seem differential enough for folks to use both alongside each other. In recent times, however, we've seen Facebook borrow many features from The Twitters, and today, Zuck's team has added the famous hashtagging experience to Facebook.
Step by step guide on how to setup two-step login verification for your Twitter account. Having such an extra layer of security is always a good thing, more and more online presences, not just social networks, are taking two-step verification very seriously, and Twitter has finally joined the crowd.
The rumor that Twitter's eagerly anticipated music service would be dropping late last week may have turned out to be false, but today, Twitter #music is finally upon us. With many hundreds of millions of active users on its network, a concentrated music discovery service would seem the natural next step, and although still in the early stages, it will help users source new artist recommendations based on their Twitter activity. An iOS app also accompanies the launch, and although there isn't a corresponding Android version just yet, it should hit the Google Play Store before long. Full details can be found right after the break!
The blogosphere has been abuzz these past few hours in anticipation for Twitter Music, which was due to launch today, April 12th. We all, quite wrongly, presumed we'd be able to give Twitter's new audio streaming service a tryout for the very first time today, but while the site has gone live and looks ready to go, we'll have to sit through another week of drumroll before it officially opens its doors.
Everyone is very quick to accuse Facebook of trying to take over the world, but Twitter has thus far gone somewhat under the radar. Often thought of as Facebook's poor relation, Twitter is also looking to make itself indispensable to its users by branching out from simply offering a way to share 140-characters worth of text.
Windows Phone 8 is still a fledgling mobile ecosystem, and Microsoft has been working hard to try and establish a solid underpinning of apps for users to download. The number of basic apps missing, such as Instagram and banking utilities, is certainly a cause for alarm, but at least the native Twitter app is starting finally to look the part. When I had my first interaction WP8 via the Nokia Lumia 820, I found the native Twitter simply paled in comparison to its iOS and Android counterparts, but today, the social network has released a significant update. More details after the break.
