Well they finally released the official Twitter App for the iPad. Go ahead and click the app store to find it.
They’ve done some interesting things here. By running the thing in landscape mode, you get the chance to view lists and links and the content that goes with them. It makes Twitter more about reviewing the content found on Twitter versus pushing to the world what you had for lunch.
It does take multiple Twitter accounts and has 1-click Instapaper support. Very cool and potentially very powerful. It’s almost like a light version of Flipboard without all the overhead. Also included is a Safari bookmarklet.
It’s one of the better Twitter apps I’ve ever seen and it will remain installed on my iPad but, it is Twitter only. The Social Media world is simply bigger than any one site/engine and we need apps that will reflect that.
If only HootSuite would release their iPad app …
Thoughts? Like it? You a Twitter only Social Media type?
