can someone recommend good iPhone client for Twitter ? there seems to be plenty apps available, but would not like to try one by one.

Be careful who you follow. I'm following a journalist who is in Iran, He seems to "tweet" nonstop.

I haven't linked my phone yet. Will all these updates be sent to my phone?

I have been using Twitterific and it's pretty good. I also have it on my Mac but prefer TweetDeck as you can post to Facebook and Twitter simultaneously. I am by no means a power user but I do use it fairly frequently. My tweets are usually about discovering photo ops or new food/wine such as, "Awesome church at 31st Ave & 30th St, Astoria! http://bit.ly/fIGu9" (which happens to be down the block from my new apartment) or "There's a great new Gewerstraminer at Terroir." Nothing like the celebrity psycho-babble that is so in vogue today. 😀

I was into twitter more during the election... I can't imagine even my friends and family are THAT interested in me and what I'm doing each second of the day. I expect my fascination with facebook will eventually wear off... I've only been a member a little over a week after refusing to join for the last however-many years.

What is "twitter" / "facebook" ? 😕

Large timesinks that slowly deteriorate ones ability to communicate without LOL and WTF among other acronyms.
Facebook allows people to post a whole host of personal information that they allow a select group of interfriends read.

Twitter allows text speak to replace standard language , in a sense it looks to be well on its way to further mangling the english language , thus making a hard to learn language that much harder.

I have a myspace, and I refuse to get on twitter , i have no time for "tweets" especially when it has been popularized by twits . Facebook seems like one more distraction that I do not need.


To those of you that enjoy it , good for you, i resist both of these with vigilance, but maybe eventually ill fall victim to them as i did with myspace and text messaging(which I cannot send short texts, i have an issue with send abnormally long and weird texts to see what the reaction is ). Assimilation into the pop culture so that I can carry on conversations with people in abbreviated fashion.

No time. Too much time on RFF. 🙂

 

[dmr]

No, intentionally not. 🙂

Although I used to be an early adopter of new internet technologies Twitter just doesn't appeal to me. I don't care what people are doing minute to minute, especially if they have the time to stop and type it into their blackberry, or whatever.

I suppose once you all have left me in the dust though I'll get around to checking it out. 😛

I use TwitterFon. Nice layout, easy to use, gives you trends, a functional search function and, oh yeah, it is free.

I think the term is tweeters... :shrug:

I'm on there, @tomthefinn.

I'm starting to play with twitter as well, and having a lot of fun!
The nice thing is looking at 'nearby' tweets on my iPod touch when I'm particularly bored: it's fun to look at what your neighbors are tweeting in the last couple of minutes. I'm using twitterrific on my iPod and I like it a lot, but I must admit I didn't try any other client so far.
Here's my twitter.

I use tweetdeck

depending on your fb app, you can have it update status (auto with fb twitter app), or selectively with 3rd party fb app that uses #fb to update fb status with tweets.

You can choose to have your favorite users' tweets sent to your phone. Can be quite useful.
