Twitter Apps

Tweet Speaker is a new, unique Twitter app that reads tweets to you. This is a great way to stay current with Twitter during times that you can's look at your iPhone, like when driving, jogging, cleaning the house, or shopping. It's got a fantastic user interface, and integrates cutting edge voice technology that'ss really smart about expanding Twitter slang like RT into "retweet", and @ usernames into the associated real names.

You can hear the developer, David Barnard of App Cubby, talking all about it on the latest episode of our Iterate podcast.

Tweetbot - A Twitter Client with Personality has just updated to version 1.6 and with it, brings Tweetmarker support. Tweetmarker is a service that marks the last read tweet in your timeline so that it can be synced between other Twitter clients.

Since its release, Tweetbot has been my favorite Twitter client on the iPhone. Tweetmarker is a great addition to the app and I look forward to what future updates may bring.

TweetFire - a Twitter client with Speed and Push Notifications - is now available for iPhone.

TweetFire was built with speed and performance in mind. Are you tired of other clients that take forever to load and try to download all of your data at once? TweetFire is perfect for you! Fast loading and smart refreshing means that you can navigate Twitter at lightning speed.
