Finding Twitter Apps
There are many Twitter apps available for Android,
including the official Twitter app from the Twitter
team, which is shown to the right. That doesn’t mean
the official app is the best or the only possibility you
should consider. You can also use the Social
Networking app that comes with your DROID, and
many third-party apps provide enhanced features not
available in the official app.
It may be helpful to make a list of priority features
before deciding on an app. Most apps also come
with lite and premium options, so you can try before
you buy. Some factors in your decision may include
the following:
Support for multiple accounts
URL shortening
Link metrics
Speed
The ability to upload and link
pictures or video
The ability to create and track
custom keyword searches
Support for both viewing and
adding lists
Ability to follow, unfollow, and block
accounts
Ability to easily send retweets and
direct messages
Available widgets
Background sync
