Since the time I got my Nexus One, I used a Twitter client called Seesmic, which I reviewed earlier this year. Not long ago I reviewed another Twitter client – Twicca. This time, my attention was attracted by another program of this type – Touiteur. This is a new application, which only recently changed its status to the final version. It is now available for download in the market.
The main window the program displays is a list of recent twitts. Control panel is located at the lower part of the screen, from here you access the messages referring to your nickname (mentions), personal communications (direct), as well as initiate a search or update the list of fresh twitts. Pressing the Tweets button will open a pop-up menu, which allows you to write new twitts, open sheets or trends, or view the selected messages.
In my opinion, one of Touiteur’s best features is the ability to view everything in one list – new twitts from the people that you follow as well as mentions. At the same time these two types of twitts are visually separated – new messages are displayed on a solid background, while mentions are shown on the “striped” background. It is also great to be able to assign individual colours to everyone you follow. In this case, all new twitts from these people will be displayed on selected backgrounds – very handy feature!
You can do almost anything with the messages in the list – answer any of them, re-twitt, follow links or view author’s profile. Personal message background color is selected from this profile window.
New tweet can be created by pressing the tweets button from the bottom menu, or by using the sliding menu at the top. Both methods are equally fast and convenient. You can easily add links or pictures, as well as photos from the album.
In Touiteur you can configure almost everything: vibration, sounds, types of events for which notification will occur (this may be all twitts, or just personal messages, etc.). You can even adjust the light indication. Tweet list size varies from 25 to 250 messages. You can turn the AutoRun option on, enable sending of new twitts by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard, select the color scheme and much more. The list of options is very long – feel free to explore in your free time.
In my opinion Touiteur is the best twitter-client for Android available today – I liked everything about this application. I would strongly recommend to install it and try for yourself. There is also a paid version of the program available, which provides some additional features including desktop widgets, etc.
Thanks for your comments!
