Twitter For Phones?
Staying up to date with Twitter has become much easier since Twitter apps appeared for smartphones.
On iPhones you can get both Twitter and TweetDeck, and more products are reaching the mobile operating systems.
One ideal aspect of Twitter fits perfectly with your phone, and that is the length of tweets.
Since you only have 140 characters available in tweets, short messages are important.
Already the mobile message system was originally based on equally 140 characters.
It was Nokia that invented the concept of sms that were appended one to another - thus allowing longer messages.
Today that feature is available on almost all phones.
The practical aspect of mobile internet, such as the 3G network, is the ability to be online anywhere you like.
Phones fit well for businessmen and private people who enjoy social networking alike.
Such opportunities were not around just a few years ago, but the speed and security aspects have allowed app developers to create smarter apps, including now apps that can allow you the same level of overview of your Twitter account as if you accessed Twitter through a web browser.
The concept of "Columns" is one that allows you to follow your timeline, mentions and messages in separate screens.
This type of app development is causing an entire standard much like OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) was a standard when Microsoft created Windows.
Therefore, and this is the real win-win for you as a smartphone user, is that apps will be very similar regardless of whether you use an iPhone, a Nokia or a Samsung Galaxy.
All smartphones producers have realized that mobile media needs to be more integrated - even though operating systems do, obviously, have different features.
For Twitter users there is a definite opportunity in taking their Twitter time away from computers and onto the phone.
You may still need to create the occasional tweet announcing a new blog article or something else, but that can easily be done by bookmarking your Twitter account in your browser.
Taking Twitter onto the phone will be the best decision you ever made, and you will find you will be better at writing short texts on a phone than on a keyboard.
