How Nokia Users Follow Twitter on Their Phones

February 17th, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

I’ve previously written a guide on best ways to follow Twitter from your phone, but I was curious if my suggestions were actually being used. I asked my Twitter followers this past weekend how they use the service on their phones. Take a look at the responses I received.

BillShepp: Generally use Tweetree.com via Opera Mobile to read (nice that it gives link previews), Twibble to post.

    fring. With fring it can make a different sound when you get a tweet
  • Bart
    I have yet to try a twitter client I like on my E71. I just rely on SMS

    mobileways.de, the makers of WirelessIRC have announced a private beta of a new standalone native S60 twitter client:

  • sometimes jibhib (J2ME app) .. sometimes Fring .. sometimes m.twitter.com

    and wait to TwitS60 release ( http://code.google.com/p/twits60/ )

    WirelessIRC - it's missing some important features (a beep or vibration when a new tweet arrives would be nice, for example), but it's the only native S60 Twitter app as of Feb 2009 that I'm aware.
  • Twibble for sure. I use the twitpic (image attachment) almost daily. Snap a photo, tweet, append image and send! It's also something that I don't see in a lot of the other apps/devices implementing, making it somewhat unique.

    Fring ... the current support is extremely basic, but apparently there's a new plugin on the way.

    twibble is more functional but is a little slow/clunky and isn't a native S60 app (N96)

  • Why did you have to add the screengrab of the tweets. You could have simply counted the totals and said that instead.

    I use Dabr.co.uk, best I've found so far for the n95.
  • @warzabidul, it's not a screengrab and you can actually click on the tweets and follow the responders. I think I'll be doing these kind of surveys more often. It lets me know more about my readers and hopefully let the readers know more about each other through Twitter.
  • I use Slandr and I like it. However this post has inspired me to check out some of the other clients
  • Rerun_van_Pelt
    Twibble - there is nothing better in my opinion. And Thilo offers great personal support, just follow @twibble and he will answer your questions.
  • I use snaptu applications, it has twitter, facebook and sports
  • Bas Heetebrij
    I use slandr as well, and am pretty happy with it.
  • Leo
    @Bas Heetebrij, Dabr is like an updated version of Slandr. Try it!
  • I use Snaptu to follow Twitter.
  • I use slandr.net right now, just because it loads quickly and gives me the most basic functionality.
  • Zenz
    I'm curious how you follow twitter... cause you've missed my reply, and I know my son replied too - but he 's not in your list either ;-)

    Here's my $0,02:

    @thenokiablog WirelessIRC + Twitter is my tool of choice. Previously I've used Twibble, m.twitter.com and m.slandr.net.

  • @Zenz, sorry about that. I tracked the tweet replies using Twickie. It looks for tweets that used "in reply to" original post. It seems your tweet did not have that and could not be found.
