Attention, Developers: Tweetmarks Can Sync-Up Twitter Clients

If you're developing a Twitter client, Tweetmarks can offer you a way to keep your clients in sync with one another, meaning users won't have to re-read tweets they've already seen. The service is created by Manton Reece, the developer of Tweet Library. Essentially, what Tweetmarks does is cloud-sync users' last-read tweet across all of their Twitter devices (Mac, iPhone and iPad, for example). This means that, when launching a Twitter client on a new device, users won't have to re-read through tweets they've already viewed. As explained by Reece in a blog post regarding Tweetmarks:

I’ve already showed it off to a few developers, and if you’re writing a Twitter app I’d love for you to support it too. It will be baked into the next version of Tweet Library. There are still some unknowns (especially around whether I will need to ask for help to cover hosting costs), but I wanted to launch it now before WWDC so that other Twitter app developers meeting at the conference can give me feedback on the service. Tweetmarks has actually been running for months, and when an opportunity came along this week for a new logo (thanks Alex!), I knew it was past time to finish documenting the service and get it out.

This is definitely the kind of service Twitter clients need, and it looks like Reece's creation could do the trick. If you're a developer interested in finding out more, http://tweetmarks.net offers extended information regarding the service. We'll keep you posted on the status of Tweetmarks, and will let you know when it's "baked into" the next version of Tweet Library. [via MacStories]
