Mobile Twitter Client – Twim

Write up by: Adrian JY Chow

 

If you have been following my articles write-ups, you would find this useful (Twitter from Mobile). However, if speaking about its functionality, I find this newly discovered Twim to be more user friendly, direct and you can even twitpic from here.

 

Twim is a mobile Twitter client that runs on devices that are compatible with Java MIDP 2.0. User can browse history, replies, friends, direct messages and public feeds with the application. User can also also update his/her status. Links can be opened in phone browser. You can search for tweets. You can upload photos and videos to Twitgoo, TwitPic, TwitrPix, Twitvid, Mobypicture or yFrog services. Twim also supports auto-refreshing (in every 5 minutes) and it will alarm you if new tweets are available by vibrating your phone and playing a small info sound.
