Tweetgo Twitter Mobile Web Client for Nokia Maemo Gadgets (N900, N8)

Spotted on MyNokiaBlog.com, Tweetgo is a mobile web client for Twitter designed with Nokia Maemo devices in mind (i.e. Nokia N900). If you’ve ever owned a Nokiaa N900, then you’re aware of the lack of great Twitter clients for the Maemo platform. Tweetgo aims to be the solution using your mobile web browser.

Simply visit in http://www.tweetgo.net/ your mobile web browser to access your Twitter account  coupled with a great user interface. Tweetgo works in both landscape and portrait mode and includes quick access to most Twitter features including your lists. Things like your Favorites might require a little digging.

MyNokiaBlog has some great screencaps and a video of Tweetgo.net running on a Nokia N8. Give it a whirl in your browser if you’re using any of the Nokia Maemo devices.

tDash – a clean web client focusing on productivity

tDash was sent to us to check out, so we did as expected.  Dug in to give you the review.  For starters, they use oAuth for login and promise a clean, simple interface.  URLs are automagically shortened and you can also share pictures.  I was curious how the interface would look.  The left side broke down to:

  • Lists
  • Folders
  • Trends
  • Friends

You can view a screenshot of the dashboard right here.  Some alternate abilities were in the toolbar at the top including reordering how tweets showed and advanced tools like direct messaging.  An unread count next to each friend name was also available to see how much they have tweeted recently.  I am not sure how far back it goes or how it keeps track.  Each users is treated as a folder, and you can mark a folder as read.

Selecting a folder also gives you info on the person and their avatar.  Sharing a picture brought a pop-up window allowing you to browse to your local computer and place some description.  Allowing me to grab URLs of pictures on the web would be cool too.  The very bottom (scroll if you have lots of friends) shows the API usage and what tweets it is pulling in.

Ok, in summary then.  A clean interface yes.  Some unique features with the folder idea and read/unread.  A killer web based client? No.  A useful one in a pinch, yes.  I know they are in early stages, so we will check back when they do more updates.

t.imo.im – chat service through Twitter

t.imo.im really doesn’t show you much on their homepage about how the service works, features or functions.  This generally scares us.  Really scares us.  The main page simply asks you to do a few steps, with no indication of the outcome.

  1. Log in securely to Twitter (oAuth)
  2. Pick a follower or someone to chat with
  3. Direct message them to start chatting

Well how in the heck does it work?  Is this a slew of direct messages?  Does it count against my API?  I tried navigating to a help or about page, to no avail.  Well I went ahead and used our test account.

The interface prompted me instantly to send a tweet, or not, that I was using the service and available to chat.  The left side showed my status (normal chat stats with on, off busy and away), chat buddies and who I follow.  The right side was my Twitter stream, including mentions and DM’s.

I could hover over any name on the left, get their recent tweet and see if they were online in the service and click to see their Twitter profile.  Besides Reply and Retweet on the right timeline, a chat link was below each person also.  Offering me the ability to invite them to chat.  Once again I have to ask how much of your API this might use.

Interesting tool if you need a real chat service using your Twitter id’s and don’t want to share your other IM names or Skype.  This might have enough need if people know about it.

Joy.ly – add unicode characters to tweets

Joy.ly allows you to utilize their interface to send tweets with more unicode characters.  The person reading the tweet will get a link and come back to joy.ly to see it all, so that was a bummer.  A lot of it also rides on the fact that whatever client or machine the are using may not have all the fonts needed to enjoy the experience.  Windows is a prime example.  Mac will work great.

The choices are like the Lucky Charms of tweets.  Arrows, actions, symbols and stars.

TweetLytics – Twitter analytics for brand monitoring

TweetLytics is not a free service.  Let’s start there.  It is designed by a Chicago firm for brand and buzz tracking.  They do offer a free trial before asking for $199 to $299 per month in a no contract service.

Their demo video shows the ability to split information and trending on gender, sentiment.  You are able to monitor, analyze and then engage with their interface.

So you might ask why this review is so short?  Because they have no screenshots of the interface (they had a slick video that was a great marketing piece) but nothing on the product itself.

I couldn’t create a trial account without credit card information and my ability to remember to come back and cancel in the 30 days before getting charged.  I like the idea of having the free trial, but let it be free, no credit card and then close and hold my data if I choose not to continue.  If I continue, unlock my data and parameters I established and let me roll on.
