Who uses Twitter?

Anyone? At all?

I never "got" Twitter
I dont feel important enough to believe that anyone would care what I was doing "right now". Conversely, I'm not interested in being constantly informed what anyone else is doing right now. I know a couple people that use it, but it seems like one more thing to keep up with.
just my .02

i am a fairly recent Twitterer. Was travelling recently and found it a way of passing messages back and forth.

I use it. username: cp1md2b

http://twitter.com/omarnova follow me

I don´t use twiter, facebook or any others
You have to invest time on them and makes you a vicious in a few weeks
I know myself, prefer to stay away...now too many hours in front my laptop...between my work and XDA.
I can´t imagine if I use one of those apps...my wife would kill me!
EDIT: Now using Facebook and tweet but limited time....

lol! I didn't think I'd use it at all, but I was surprised by how many did use, like developers and news groups. Great way to get info/news as it happens.

are you guys/gals using twitter via your mobile phone or are using it via your laptop? Im asking cause i want to be able to use it via my phone (touch pro). wanting to know what app or cab i could use to install on my device.

Using it on both depending where i am at the time.
Personally the best app for the PPC i have found is PockeTwit. It works and is being updated regularly. The updating is built into the app as well.
I have had issues using it to upload to TwitPic so i keep ceTwit in the device as well.

I have twitter, but using it only for my website, not for personal needs (seems useless for me).
But anyway, if anyone wants to fallow me here is:

twitter is public and people don't need an account to read messages. I have a couple of friends who follow my Twitter stream to see what i am doing without an acount for themselves. Also for access from my Trinity, the Twitter clients are so much easier to use and faster.

FMyLife.com App [Request]

Ok. http://www.fmylife.com is absolutely hilarious. It is a site of things that have happened to people. It is a lot like twitter, they are small messages you post about crappy things that happened to you and people can vote either "Yes your life is f***ed" or "You had that one coming". I read it daily just for laughs and they have an API available to developers in the form of an XML feed to retrieve them. You can also have full control to log into your account and post another great FMyLife story thru the API. This would be great to be able to post them on the go straight from your Android mobile. Lol please check out this site and if a capable dev wants to give it a go I can set you up with the info. Thanks all, enjoy reading about peoples crappy lives!

That would be great if there was an app of that site

I had never heard of that site before.. but it's effing hilarious. RSS'd.

I just use http://iphone.fmylife.com

This is the greatest website EVER! Haha if you go twitter, just follow them. I just added them so no need for an extra app

Thank you so much. That works good and if I had twitter then that would probably work as well. And I completely agree with whoever the second poster was (too lazy to look rotfl) it is effin hilarious. It s a great way to waste a few hours reading all of them lol.

lol wow! someone posted an app in the market. It's just a frontend to the iPhone version though...

you're in the wrong forum buddy. This app is for android, not palm.

There is a 1x4 widget available for Android 1.5 (cupcake) users.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.mlst.fmlwidget
or search "fml widget" in market

there's a application in the market,
search for "FML" in the market, works amazing.

Bloo Facebook App

Bloo
Best mobile fb app I've ever used. Worth 1.50!

Best FB app. However no inbox access makes me a lil Also the notifications seems to be broken, no way to clear them, every time i open Bloo it shows the same notifications and i hate going to the browser to clear them, beats the purpose, plus m.facebook got a facelift recently. I will keep the app waiting on more development/improvements.

Just noticed the notification issue.
I'm sure that's an easy fix.

righ tnow im testing both babbler and bloo. lets see wich one i stick to. babbler has inbox so its winning at the moment. Bloo has a great UI though

He's just posted an updated version to the market fixing wall posting and tweaking notifications.
Pretty good start all round, and finally I've been able to get shot of FBook..
No error on the Notifications now.

not worth 150

Review for Bloo on AndroidCommunity.com
http://androidcommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?p=217452

So far Bloo has won. minus the errors it's got it's still got the best UI of it or Babbler. Not to mention Babbler is having a TON of force close issues for me and just all in all the UI on it is crap. There is a pic upload issue with 1.1.0 but the dev knows about it and is working on it (bloo that is not babbler)

Not a bad app thats only been out a day.

Thats why I think this app will be promising, it hasnt even been out for a day and he has released an update. There are some features missing, but IMO it was definitely worth the $1.50.

Good to hear it's getting positive reviews, I will definately have to buy! Ever since fbook I haven't bothered much with any facebook app.

I just came across this wonderful app that provides a native facebook client for android.
Tha app has been out for just 2 days and already is receiving great support from its developer with constant updates as new features are implemented and bugs are ironed out.
Although its a paid app the developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org.
The app costs $1.49 and I can say its well worth every penny. I have been using it since morning with no problems what so ever.
The developer its quite active and promises new features with future releases. For more details refer to his blog: http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/
I believe we should support such developers that put a lot of effort in providing android with such great apps.

You are the dev!
Anyways, nice work and thanks for creating such a wonderful app.
I do suggest more though such as
- Being able to view your messages/reply.
- Being able to "poke" your friends.
- Etc.

hehehe no actually I'm not. Its just a coincidence. Actually Dimitris is a common name in Greece.

There is already a thread opened for Bloo.

Oops sorry
Maybe an admin can delete this thread then. I got so excited with this app I forgot to search first. My bad!

Is the C also a coincidence?
App creators name is Dimitris Couchell

The developer has been kind enough to provide an alternative method of purchasing the app to those that don't have access to google's paid market through slideme.org. I tried it and it works great.

Where is the official facebook app?!

wasnt it supposed to drop a few weeks ago? anyone got the dirt on this?
I grow more frustrated with bloo and babbler everyday. Need a real solution!

You and me both

just use the mobile facebook page, it's better than any app I've ever come across anyway.
There's actually two versions:
x.facebook.com - better version, possibly the iPhone version. My Magic currently defaults to this no matter which url I enter.
m.facebook.com - slightly inferior, suited to WM & Symbian

Those are both pretty good, but can't seem to make status comments on the iphone version.
m.facebook.com is better but i just get redirected to iphone version.

You can indeed set a status on the iPhone version, you simply press "status" which appears in the blue bar at the top left

Yes, but try comenting on someones status.. or replying to someone that commented on your status

Oh sorry, misread...I thought you said you can't add a status of your own.
Yeah I can't seem to find how to comment either actually but you can go to the m.facebook site by clicking "Mobile site" at the bottom of the page. That stops the default to x.facebook that you get by typing them in the address bar

Ah nice, it is working. Last time I tried it just kept redirecting me. Hmm.. perhaps I didn't press that link

its aggravating that because of google and facebook hating eachother they're taking it out on their customers! oh well hopefully they figure this out soon.

i was under the impression that google had sent an android engineer to facebook to help them sort it out quicker.

ahahha man that guy must feel like a total douche bag

The lack of an official facebook app was the only thing that shocked me. I just got my MT3G two days ago and that was pretty upsetting considering even the Blackberry FB app was pretty nice.

Maybe t-mobile will be releasing a facebook app for their mytouch.

That's not an official facebook app, just a facebook sync app htc made.

ahh, ok. I seen that and thought maybe there was going to be a facebook app that worked in conjunction with the phone or something.

Good question.
I'm sick of Babbler and Bloo.
Those are crap, in my opinion.
FACEBOOK FTW!!!

I was fortunate enough to get a beta copy of the official app... guys all I can say is wow, this is gonna blow the iphone app out the water!!!
It's on the same level if not above. It does everything your desktop version does , chat is enabled. It was a beta and was still a little bit slow but you can get a general idea of where they are going with the app
Dont know if I'm allowed to post screenshots??

Facebook contacts sync (well more like importer)

I've been hoping for something like this for a while now so I thought I would share with everyone!
A dev from the android IRC just released a facebook contacts importer for devices from versions 1.5 and up.
It's about $2 and it works pretty flawlessly on my Hero.
