Twitter just release their own real-time search widget that I have embedded on the right side of this blog. For the sake of this post, I will embed it here as well to demonstrate. It is super simple to incorporate the code into a site of your own with whatever you’re looking for. I see a huge potential in this widget being able to help companies demonstrate what is going on in the tweetosphere with their products. Thanks Twitter!
The one killer feature the Palm Pre has a hand up on the iPhone on is the ability to run background applications. The awesome feature about having a jailbroken iPhone is the ability to run background applications on an iPhone! The newest version of qTweeter just dropped in the Cydia store, and let me tell you it is absolutely incredible.
Once you’ve configured the application to connect to your Twitter and/or Facebook accounts, the application runs as a process in the background. When you want to send out a tweet, just slide your finger from the top of the screen downward. It smoothly renders a box for you to blast out that quick tweet that is so important you can’t take the time to hunt down your favorite “App Store Approved” client. qTweeter also integrates with the iPod, the camera, and Safari. Want to tell the world what you’re listening to? While in the iPod app, swipe your finger down, and it will create a tweet with the artist and name of the song. Find a killer web page you need to share with the world? While in Safari, do the fancy finger swipe, and it will allow you to tweet out the site and shorten the URL for you automatically.
Check the video below for a quick demo I did. Impressive!
I think I have tried the vast majority of Twitter applications for the iPhone. Some remained my favorite for a while, yet others were immediately rejected. The first application I purchased for my iPhone 3G on launch day a year ago was Twitterific Premium. It reigned supreme for quite a while, but it seems like over the past couple of months there have been some really great programs showing up in the App Store. Hit the poll below and let me know which is your favorite. In a week, I will reveal mine and why.
