DroidWars: Twitter clients – Q1, 2010

The Verdict:

And the winner is…

twicca


For my personal purposes, it just doesn’t get better than this. Light, fast, functional, and no unused features bogging me down. If I don’t use the TwitPic or Buzzster plugins, I don’t have to install them. The color labels make staying organized easy, and they’ve assisted me in actually getting real work done. And the widget…I love the widget.

twicca_widget


That’s one of the most tapped items on my home screens.

I know some of you are saying, “but Twicca doesn’t have this and it can’t do that.” And others will wonder why their favorite Android Twitter client isn’t on the list. Well, it’s all about taste folks. Taste, and what you need to get done on a daily basis. If I were more involved in Twitter than I currently am, I would likely choose Twidroid as the winner. That is, in my mind, the most feature rich Twitter app out there. But I just don’t need everything it has to offer. That doesn’t mean I won’t use it now and then. As a matter of fact, I’m thinking about dropping the Twidroid widget in place of Twicca’s for a bit. Who knows? I might find a new favorite. Until TweetDeck for Android is released, that is.

I love the features of Twidroid Pro especially being able to handle multiple accounts. But lately I've trying twicca and I definitely enjoy the simple clean UI and smaller footprint. I'm using twicca more and more.

Twicca COULD be the best twitter client. There is only one huge problem: When there is a notification for new tweets, these tweets are not cached by the application. This means you have to wait until the tweets are loaded. This is anoying somtimes, so i use twidroid now.

Seesmic is by far the best Twitter client. It has the cleanest interface and is completely free. I tried Twicca after reading this article, but I found its interface to only be marginally better than Twidroid, which I really dislike.

That was actually on my original list, but I had way too many clients and had to trim away the ones I didn't like as much. I know it's a good app, I'm just not a fan, personally.

Why no mention of Swift Tweets? Simple, fast, and includes an awesome "light" browser within the app.

Nine pages? Come on. I was going to read this until I realized you are just jacking up your page count hits to earn more money from the ads on the right side of the website.

For me, it's almost more important that I can fit as many tweets onto a screen as possible. I find Seesmic, Twitdroid, and Touiteur do the best at not wasting screen space. I hate having to constantly scroll when using Tweetcaster or Hootsuite. If touiteur was faster it would probably be my number 1. For some reason the load times on that are far longer than with Seesmic or Twitdroid.

Agree, Twicca is the best twitter client ever made. They could make a widget to update right from the desktop, without enter the app, but it's ok. I also like Tweegee, when on Android 1.5 (Twicca is 1.6+ only).

I'm with you in hoping tweet deck is released on Android. Its the main twitter client i use on my PC. Opening pics and vids in the client itself is a revelation. Navigation is easy. Facebook integration is alright too. Fingers crossed it will get released on android soon :).
