Birdfeed is a new Twitter app that has been released for the iPhone. There are plenty of Twitter apps available for the iPhone, but it's certainly nice to see more apps added to the mix. Birdfeed offers a clean, simple design that looks stunning.
Other features include:
- Local caching: Birdfeed remembers your timeline and allows you to catch up on past tweets while you're flying, riding the subway, or hiking on a back country road.
- SMS-Style Direct messages: Support for conversation based direct messages, or thread messages.
- Notifications that make sense offering unread counts where they make sense.
- Refresh Timestamps: Birdfeed helps you remember where you were by placing a permanent timestamp indicator in your timeline whenever you load new tweets. Even if you quit the app and don't launch it again all day, you'll have a bookmark waiting for you.
If you collect Twitter apps (like I do), looking to make the jump to a paid Twitter client or simply making your first foray into Twitter on the iPhone, you might want to add Birdfeed to the list of Twitter apps to consider.
Birdfeed retails for $4.99 and it is available in the App Store.
