Another day, another mobile Twitter client.
Actually, that’s a bit unfair. Twitter is a great service that meshes well with mobile use, so it’s only natural a lot of clients would pop up on the various phone platforms we cover.
Twinkle, a soon-to-be-released iPhone Twitter client has a couple of new tricks up its sleeve too, as seen in this preview via Just Another iPhone Blog.
Making full use of the iPhone’s display, Twinkle is a bright and colourful take on the Twitter experience, with nice big buttons for your fellowtweeter’s avatar pics. The most original feature is a ‘location aware’ people finder.
With this turned on, Twinkle will seek out other Twitter users within your current location (the default radius is 50 miles, but this is configurable) and then display their tweets. Twitter instantly becomes something more like Dodgeball - Google’s city-based mobile social network - but with a more random element that could reveal some interesting info about your current location. Of course, if you like what one of your local Twitter suers has to say, you can always direct message them.
