Twitter apps are a dime a dozen. (Seriously, we have a folder full of them.) A good twitter app is much, much harder to come by. If you’re talking about Android Twitter apps, it’s damn near impossible. In terms of UI, we’d have to say Tweetdeck is probably our favorite. But…no streaming means everything feels like a bad remake of 2005. That’s where Carbon comes in. Originally a webOS-only app, the small team behind Carbon has made it their goal...

Today, Path CEO issued a public apology saying that (1) it...
Tweetbot 2.0 for iPhone is finally here. Now what? Get Tweetbot for iPad of course! Ok. So Tweetbot isn’t a universal app. In our opinion, it’s easily worth the $6 spread across two devices. We, as well as countless iPad users who use and abuse Twitter have been waiting for months to get Tweetbots beautiful pixels all over their 9.7″ of Cupertino-designed glass. And now that Tweetbot for iPad is available, what do we think? It’s great! It is robust...
