Cool…. I’ll try this since PLUME is ridiculously buggy nowadays

Just read an article a week ago how Carbon is still a mess and still doesn’t have an estimate or even a guess of when it may be released.

It’s going to take a lot for this even to compete with Falcon and Tweet Lanes.

I definitely won’t forget them putting ads in a firefox extension update without warning

Loving the push notifications – better than most finished clients purely on that aspect alone. Excited to see where Echofon takes their Android app. Wouldn’t mind a Chrome app; I wonder if that’s their next project.

My dream Twitter app would feature Plume’s mixed multiple account timelines and Tweet Lanes’ ever-present context box with all the usual suspects (push notifications, full list management, auto-correct, scrollable widgets).

I’m really liking it so far on my GNEX. I don’t see the push notification setttings like in the middle screenshot though. Anyone know why?

I’m actually stunned that a 3rd party app is able to do push notifications so well. What do they know that everyone else doesn’t? I’m guessing they must have some pretty beefy web service polling the Twitter API and dispatching those C2DM messages.

That was almost a month ago. They have little credibility left with me. They’re a clear example of ‘keep your mouth shut until you’re .5 seconds away from releasing it’. If you can’t live up to your own generated hype, don’t bother.

There are so many twitter clients, but none of them do everything right, unfortunately. I’m still looking for that perfect twitter app.

I’m using it too but I can’t figure out how to delete tweets. Am I just dumb? I have to keep another twitter app around for that.

I’ll never leave Boid, it’s just too good.

I’m impressed they redesigned the whole app for Android. More iOS devs need to do this. I’m looking at you Facebook and Instagram.

They’ll likely have a paid version without ads just like they do on iOS.
