Hello folks,
I'd like to know which twitter client you are using on your Kaiser. I'm using Twobile at the moment but maybe you know about better ones. Here's the link if you dont know twobile http://www.infinitumsoftware.com/
Cheers
I'm really fond of PocketTwit
+1 for PocketTwit
I've tried a couple of clients, but I prefer dabr.co.uk. It's a web-based client that uses the twitter API to deliver twitter in a mobile-friendly way. Each tweet has icons for @reply, DM, Favorite, and RT. It's so good that I use it on my PC for twitter.
Currently, twitter has problems with its API and Dabr is less reliable as a result. Even so, I still find it better than twitter's own website.
I like panoramic moTweets.
Nice UI, free with ads...

I give my voice to panoramic moTweets too.
Anyone know of a facebook app that allows you to post to facebook fan pages that you manage? The MS one of course does not...
I realize that you can mail in posts to fan pages that you manage but it doesn't seem to work very well (horrible delays).
Thanx!
I'm not too sure what you're looking for exactly, anyhow here's this link that may help you....
This link is too some free Facebook Clients, check to see what works best for you....

Thanx, I'll look into that...
... seems none of the apps you mentioned handle facebook pages.
To clarify - Facebook pages are not user accounts per se - they're company pages, like facebook.com/cocacola etc. Administrators can post to their walls. That's what I want to be able to do.
try using m.facebook.com in opera. The facebook app is way too limited in my experience as well.
Guess that's right... Too bad about the app lacking this simple feature... Thanks!
OK here is something im wondering, is there an App out there that can combine the Google talk, FB CHAT, Standard SMS and MMS from your carrier that also has a scrollable wodget?
In case your all wondering what a WODGET is, it's the same as a WIDGET....only its WAY AWESOMERISH!!

thats actually pretty funny dude.
trillian is avaliable but it doenst do facebook; i could be mistaken. i dont think there is an app that does all that you want...which to me seems like an opening to earn $.99 a million times...good luck
well sh-t! If I only had the brains to create such a WODGET!
What you ask is not easy - Facebook chat requires the app to be "Facebook" certified, kinda like an iPhone app only not as gay as Steve Jobs is.
Sms/MMS could be easy enough...joining contacts (IE Bob's SMS/MMS/Facebook) all to the same stream would be interesting at best....
The facebook API from what I have seen is also a nightmare, it just does way to friggin much - I assume their Chat stuff wouldn't be any easier.
EDIT:
Oh an a scrollable widget requires the user to be using ADW. And widgets are funky from what I have seen of making one.
All-in-all do able. Java isn't hard to learn, programing for Android is the hard part. Getting the idea behind "intents" and learning what some APIs can and can't do - then you have the drawables issues for Highres and Lowres devices.
i love the phone... love the interface... but i do a lot of IM'ing thru yahoo,gtalk, and FBchat and i cant find any app for that...
i thought all phones should have that... and i was surprised the windows7 phone dont have this feature.
so if there is no IM client i can use, i consider this phone FAIL for me. Will return
Yes there is a free IM chat in Windows Phone 7 Market Place. Look for Messenger WP7-2 by Miyowa. It functions very simliar to desktop version of Live Messenger.
But thats only for messenger... I do a lot on yahoo chat and gtalk... Thats why im beginning to hate this phone. I cant use my phone nemore to chat. Im stuck on my laptop for now.
Is there any news on having a universal chat client for this phone?
Yes ... I understand what you are saying. I think those would be developed fairly soon. This is a new Phone OS and the more phones that are sold, the more likely great apps will be developed. That said, some basic items are missing that should have been included in launch.
I wonder if you can get to Google chat through logging into Google account via the browser. I`m going to try that along with Yahoo.
I think the reason for the delay in Chat apps is that WP7 offers no Socket communication at the moment. Everything has to be done with Web Requests. Since most Chatting programs use a TCP or UDP port it may take a while until either someone develops a Web interface for those services or Microsoft update the SDK.
And a quick note... I tried Google Talk via the webrowser. It requires a plugin, but when I tried to download the plug in it says windows phone does not support .exe files.
Yahoo chat was more promising, but Adobe Flash 9.0 needs to be installed. Flash is not supported yet on the phone. It wouldn`t install so web chat through browsers won`t work at this time.
Let`s hope the chat clients are released quickly !
this looks interesting !

I tried it through the phone's IE Browser and it seems to work !
I hope i will be soon... Coz i really need a IM client that works Yahoo and Google
Another interesting note. In my MSN Mobile Canada app, there is also a place to login to IM. Never knew it was there !
hahaha even the zune hd has a messaging app where you can message on Live IM and Facebook chat.
Does Zune HD have Google and Yahoo chat ? If yes, then that would be a good sign Microsoft would bring it over to WP7. Even if there wasn't, I can't imagine that it would be very long before it is available to WP7. They are paying developers big $ so I'm sure there will 1000's more apps and IM clients on the way. What Apple did in 5 years with iPhone, Microsoft will do in half the time if not less.
I really love my HD7 and WP7. Everything that's available just works with nice looking interface.
Like all of you, I need YM, Facebook Chat & GTalk badly. Without these, I could never use my HD7 as my main phone.
I am also enjoying my HD7, it just has to be understood that this OS isn't a month old yet and the development of new apps take time, they cannot just be ported over from previous OSs. I for one like the direction this OS is going....still waiting patiently for a tethering app.
I think people are letting MS off the hook when they say its a new OS that why some thing are missing. The first Pocket pc phone edition that came out in 2000 had MSN messenger. That was 10 (Ten) years ago.
Yes there certainly was a few features missing out of the gate. No doubt Microsoft will fix. Now that they have the phone out in the market we either return it, or find ways to make it work until the app is developed. I know my iphone was missing features when I bought it but Apple finally came around.
As for Yahoo chat, try logging into http://m.yahoo.com/messenger from the browser. It seems to work quite nicely. Again short term work around.
And on the theme of accessing chat clients through mobile browser (two examples provided earlier), here are a number of Web-based (cloud) IM services that are either free or have a small charge for paid service. Seems to be very good solution as many of them integrates all chat clients into one interface (kind of like Fring).

the point is, it should be a default on every Phone... Instant messaging should be on of the defaults of this new WIN7 OS
this messenger i think is a third party app...

apparently microsoft hired this 3rd party to make the official app.
And if its so important, then why do I not know one single person that uses it???
I think it is a cultural difference. In the USA, we tend to stick to text messaging since most of us have unlimited texting on our smartphone plans.
May work for you
