The Liberal Democrats were the first party to use Thunderclap in the UK, with 127 people signing up in February to tweet a link to a page celebrating the party's achievements with the click-bait question "What the hell have the Lib Dems done now?" But without Labour's celebrity support, that message was only shared with 127,000 people.
Thunderclap's statistics show that the tweet made it on to the feed of 4.5 million people, almost exactly as many as watched the BBC News at Ten on Sunday 3 November.Ī Labour spokesperson described the campaign as a "phenomenal success" and said that the party would use the tool again, although when and how often remains undecided until it has had a chance to look at the feedback in more detailed terms. It’s time to deal with David Cameron’s cost of living crisis. It’s now my go-to Twitter app on my iPhone and highly recommended.In Labour's case, at 10am on Sunday, 848 people, including party leader Ed Miliband, comedian Eddie Izzard and the actor David Morrissey automatically tweeted: It now has built-in push notifications and a mute feature, amongst other developments. SEPTEMBER 16 UPDATE: TweetBot just keeps getting better and better. It is the best Twitter app out there if all you’re interested in is Twitter. And I still do use TweetBot from time to time and enjoy it very much. JUNE 12 UPDATE: TweetBot has now had two bug-fix/feature-add updates, and landscape composing mode is now part of the app, which is great. But HootSuite is still my preferred Twitter client … at least until I can try the new TweetDeck for iPhone. As a stand-alone Twitter app, it’s definitely among the very best I’ve used.

But the only way it’s ever going to go on the home page of my iPhone is if it adds Facebook support, because I use Twitter and Facebook side by side, and like to update both statuses at the same time through the same app. The bottom line: Well, I paid $1.99 for this, so I’m kind of feeling obligated to use it, at least sometimes. TweetBot’s honeymoon could be short-lived. It will also introduce some new concepts to the whole social networking sphere, such as combined columns. Particularly since the next new hot Twitter app, the totally rebuilt TweetDeck for iPhone, will be out in a week or two. But whether it can maintain that beyond an initial honeymoon period remains to be seen. Right now, Tweetbot has a really positive buzz about it, so its developers should pocket some nice coin in app sales.
#Tweetbot mute words free#
That’s the competition for Tweetbot: free apps that do more than Twitter, even if they lack some of the fun new features of a $1.99 Twitter app. And it’s been free in the App Store now for more than a year. My go-to Twitter app on my iPhone is HootSuite, which is a power user app that supports Twitter, Facebook, FourSquare and LinkedIn. It’s bad because it’s $1.99 (on sale, no less) in the app store, and it only does Twitter. Trying to type on the iPhone’s keyboard in a vertical mode is really awkward. The company notes that landscape composing mode is coming in a future update, but that’s still a gigantic omission, even more than push updates (which can be worked around easily enough using Boxcar). The lack of landscape composing mode is mind-boggling for an app that otherwise improved the user interface. And Tweetbot is definitely one of the nicest looking apps I’ve ever used.įinally, it’s definitely better than Twitter for iPhone. Great features don’t matter if people are bugged by your background color. But go on Twitter and see how people actually judge their Twitter apps. I know, that’s a really superficial statement. Not to mention Tweetbot’s blue steel color theme looks good. I won’t go into details on all of Tweetbot’s little innovations, but suffice to say, this app packs a lot of power into a (generally) easy-to-use interface (with one glaring exception that we’ll get to below.) The usability of Tweetbot is its big advantage over many other Twitter apps that I’ve tried.
The swipe-left/swipe-right features on tweets to bring up conversations and related tweets is also quite nice. It’s one of those small things that as soon as you see it, you wonder why no one else has ever thought of it before. It’s got a very slick interface with features that, quite frankly, I’d love to see stolen by other Twitter apps that I prefer to use, particularly the little “drawer” of commands that opens up underneath a tweet when you tap on it (see image) to reply, retweet, or bring up other options.
