As things and trends [...]

We all remember Tweetie 2 don’t we? A great iPhone Twitter client developed by Atebits and launched in the App store. As most people agree, it is the best Twitter client on the market today. However, one has to wonder what’s next? Well, first of all, there are a few bug fixes that really need to come out. However, nothing major, because Tweetie 2 is a 1.0 release and, like all these releases, comes [...]

Anyone who uses a Twitter application on the iPhone has no doubt been “my app’s better than yours” debate at some point. I know I’ve been there a few times. There’s a whole bunch of them out there, and to be perfectly honest they all do pretty much the same thing, just in slightly different ways. Well we think Tweetie 2 is about to change all that.

This might sound unbelievable, but it is absolutely true! PepsiCo, the owner of Mountain Dew soda brand has rented a bowling alley in Brooklyn to throw a “taste test” party. They were testing the brand new “Ultraviolet” diet soda. Most of the guests were Twitter users and fans. On a projector screen, everybody could watch Twitter search queries related to @mtn_dew and occurrences of the hashtag [...]

A couple of weeks ago, the largest 3G wireless operator in USA, Verizon, announced the launch of a new app store: the Widget Bazaar.

Justin.tv revealed today that they’ll be inviting people to a Private Beta of CamTweet, but they may be too late. Moments ago TwitCam was launched, which covers all the same functionality promised by CamTweet. After seeing a demo version of CamTweet running at TechCrunch‘s Real Time Stream CrunchUp, it took the Livestream team 10 days to develop TwitCam. Pretty amazing I think you’ll [...]
