Twidroid is a popular Twitter application for Android phones, and they’ve just released an update, including native Youtube posting, a sample pluging for your own url shortener, Chinese, Czech, Russian and Arabic languages, plus the Pro version now has offline sending, which is a useful addition.
Catch up with the full release notes.
One of the most popular Twitter clients, Tweetdeck, has added new features in the latest release, version 0.31. It’s pushing forward as one of only two Twitter clients with a share of over 10%, as measured by Twitstats.
Included in the latest release is a new notification system which can be applied to certain groups. Plus it also has inline reply, retweets and direct messages inside the notification menu.
A major feature you might not notice is that Tweetdeck has now been optimised to consume less memory, which is good for everyone – plus there’s also the time-saving option of keyboard shortcuts, and a Heads-Up Display.
And depending on how popular you are, you might find the feature to view your newest 100 followers comes in useful as you can directly follow, block or add to a group.
Check oout the video below for the official walk-through:
This was published just as I was heading out of the office for a short vacation. (Disclosure: I work for Absolute Radio).
If we get a Zune in the office this could be the start of a new series!
I’m just about to restart my PC to see if the error continues, but at the moment, it appears I’m only seeing Tweets posted 40 minutes ago – and all my updates are being displayed in order at the top…
If it continues after a restart, I’ll grab a screenshot and start trying to get some more details…
Strange Twitter error occurring
Update: 19.52 GMT
I’ve also just noticed that the Twitter warning about the recent phishing attacks which was visible on the main page has now mysteriously vanished for me.
There’s nothing on the official Twitter blog, but it comes strangely soon after the first major Twitter hacking of 33 celebrity accounts, and the first large scale Twitter phishing attack.
Update: 19.56 GMT
Checked the @Twitter account, and there’s a simple sentence on the Twitter Status Blog.
‘We’re experiencing some delays in the amount of time it takes for updates to appear in timelines. Working on this now.’
It was apparently posted an hour ago – I do wonder why messages are split between the official blog and the status blog.
