Twittelator Pro 2.2 Gets Colored And More
May 6, 2009
Twitter has become so popular that even Oprah is doing it. Actually, it's because of Oprah that Twitter's user base has been growing at an astounding 40 percent per week. Seriously, no joke, it's because of Oprah. Due to the popularity of the service itself, the iPhone now has a bunch of quality Twitter applications to choose from, but which one is best for you? Since we can't choose for you, we will just keep doing our best at informing you about the latest and greatest features added to each one. This time it's Twittelator Pro getting the new set of features.
Twittelator Pro already contains tons of features, so many features that you won't even know what to do with them, and now with this update, the list is just getting longer. Since there are so many new additions, we will just outline a couple of our favorites and list the rest for you to check out yourselves.
Twittelator Pro 2.2 is now able to automatically queue and send tweets, which means that if you have composed a message offline, the application will send it as soon as a network connection returns. Not only that, but if you are unsure of how many messages have been composed but not sent, you won't have to open up the application to find out because unsent messages are now badged on the app icon when you quit.
With the 2.2 update, Twittelator Pro now has colored tweets. It is a very simple addition, but a very important one. Tweets that are by or about you now have a different tint. If you were the one who tweeted, the message has a green tint; if you are mentioned in a tweet, the message has a brown tint. Many of the other Twitter applications already contained this feature, so it is good to see Twittelator Pro catching up.
These new features, and of course all of the ones listed below should go a long way in helping you make a Twitter application decision, at least for today. Tweetie has become the most popular paid Twitter application, but Twitterrific Premium 2.0 is just around the corner, so the decision isn't going to get easier any time soon.
Twittelator Pro is available at the App Store for $4.99.
