Twitter Purchases iPhone App Tweetie
Twitter has gone and purchased the very popular iPhone and desktop client Tweetie from Atebits. Twitter will offer the new app for free from this point on and rename it Twitter for iPhone they state on their blog.
Twitter has been growing by leaps and bounds around the world. Mobile has always been a focus for us—starting with SMS which lead to the 140 character limit. People everywhere should be able to access Twitter without friction or confusion. Careful analysis of the Twitter user experience in the iTunes AppStore revealed massive room for improvement. People are looking for an app from Twitter, and they’re not finding one. So, they get confused and give up. It’s important that we optimize for user benefit and create an awesome experience.
This is all very exciting news to anyone that uses Twitter frequently on their iPhones. Hopefully there will be a few improvements not only to the app but also to Twitter and how it functions from mobile phones.
