Twitter Tools part 3
by Al Ferretti and Skeeter Hansen
Twitter Tools (part 3 of 6): “Blackberry, iPhone and other mobile phone apps”
BlackBird
The blackbird app has been working with Twitter for some time. The screenshots featured on its website are a bit old-school. Blackbird now apparently shows the user’s avatar, updating the look of the app a bit.
Twitterberry
The Twitterberry app works over the data network so you don’t need to use SMS and be charged for texting. Data pack charges will probably still apply, though.
Tiny Twitter Tiny Twitter will work for any older smartphone as well as the BlackBerry. The homepage features a 140px column in an homage to the Twitter message character length.

I use UberTwitter on my Blackberry. I can update my status, view direct messages, reply, retweet, see my followers, check my timeline and more. It highlights tweets in yellow if someone mentions me or replies to me. It works for me!
Hi June,
Thanks for the mention of UberTwitter.

Why did you miss UberTwitter? Thats what me and all of my friends use!?
Hi James~
You’re right, UberTwitter is a good one too~
What do you like best about it?
With the growing percent of Android based phones, probably need to update the list. Depending on the list, Twidroid seems to lead the pack but there are a few others. Additionally, Seesmic & TweetCaster have a Blackberry & Android app that give most of the others apps a run for their money.
Hi Ivan,
Thanks for the comment. With all the new 3rd party Apps. that work with Twitter and more coming out all the time it’s great to have people out there like you to help us out.
Thanks again and have a blessed 2010,
Skeeter
Just wanted to add a suggestion or idea. A mention about the Twitter for Blackberry app. I recently tried it. It’s similar to Twitterberry,yet freezes a lot & is missing a lot of goodie options that Ubertwitter has. That’s my two cents!
Hi Mia,
Your feedback is always welcome and thank you.
