This might be the best Twitter app on the web. iTweet exposes all of Twitters
features but really shines in its ease of use. Frequently used features -
looking up profiles, retweeting, and direct messaging are within clicking
distance of each tweet. Hashtags are supported (they're clickable; clicking one
will display all conversations with that hashtag) as are TwitPic, symbols, and a
URL shortener. Replies and Direct Messages are listed under their own tabs,
which is very convenient for a quick check to see if you "got any messages
while you were out." There's also a neat feature with each Tweet that lets
you click a "in reply to" link to see what the Tweet refers to. It's
clear that a lot of thought went into designing their interface.
I've found their search feature to be comprehensive - and more importantly -
reliable. It's often worked for me when Twitter's wouldn't.
