Birdfeed: A slick Twitter client for your iPhone
Over the past year, there's been something of a gold-rush for Twitter clients on the iPhone. From Twitterrific to Twitterfon, Tweetie to the recently-launched TweetDeck, there's a bucketload of apps to let you use Twitter on the go. Today sees the launch of another challenger for space on your homescreen: Birdfeed [iTunes Link]: "A very nice Twitter client for your iPhone".In trying Birdfeed this evening, it's clear that a huge amount of time has been spent on the application from the exceptional icons (similar in style to those in another Download Squad favourite-app, Things) to some smart touches. Here's just some that caught my eye:
- a small dot in the 'Compose Tweet' button to show the presence of a draft
- a super-handy 'home' button that takes you back to your original list of tweets when you're drilling-down in the options
- the auto-loading of more tweets once you reach the bottom of the list
- integration with services like Favrd.
