what's the "Notification Options" all about in the More menu at the bottom of someon'es profile. i tapped enable, it said saved, but it doesn't seem to do anything.........thoughts??
I did. I bought it 1 month before the announcement from Tweeter. He should have released it for free. Instead, he tricked a bunch of people into buying it...
Just for that alone, it pissed me off. Something as big as Twitter buying Tweetie is not unknown. He should have told everyone so either they waited for the free app, or he should have released it for free right then and then.
It's not like he sold Tweetie for $2.99 to Twitter. I am sure he got well paid.
Been using it for a while now. I like how clean the UI is, and most of the functionality is there.
Anyone know whether/when we'll get notifications for this app? It would make sense?

maybe its gonna be push updates once twitter works out there auth system which take place on june 1st im told
After using it for a day Twitter is great I'm keeping Simply tweet mainly though for push notifications other than that its great I'm really glad they didn't "dumb" down the UI to what they did with the droid and make it there a app thats basically there mobile site.
My Read It Later integration isn't working. After I swipe a post the paperclip icon is greyed out. Anyone else having this problem?
For those on here that are saying Twitter is a waste and trash, that tells me what you do with Twitter. Just like the Internet, there are millions of things on it - it depends on what you use it for. For me, I am subscribed to MacRumors' RSS feed, CNN's RSS feed, and CNNtech's RSS feed. That's it. No 17 year old girls (is that what you subscribed to?), no freaks, no drama, no political pundit crap or radio hosts. On my iPhone, I receive the news when it happens, just headlines, and I can click on the links if I want to read the full story. It's great. No searching through the news or having to sit in front of a TV for hours; the Twitter feed sends me the news quick, concise, and the minute it happens. "Was that an earthquake, I just felt? Let me check Twitter. Yep, it looks like one minute ago we had a 5.5" Twitter is SUPERB when used constructively. Something else... when Apple has a WWDC Keynote, CNNtech (and MacRumors?) tweet live news from inside the event. I don't have to be sitting in front of a computer to read the live feeds - it's on Twitter on my cell phone.
That is used if you want to enable the SMS notifications for that specific user. You must set your phone with Twitter to enable that feature. Once set up, you'll be able to enable those SMS notifications.
If you were looking to enable Push Notifications, I suggest the Boxcar app. You'll be able to set up this app to get @replies and DM notifications.
I'm having the same problem. It worked fine with Tweetie 2 for me. I wonder why it isn't working now.
notifications for twitter??
best app you can get is called boxcar. it can alert you when you get DMs, or replies within twitter, even facebook integration ... the trick is you get one free, then have to pay inside the app for extra services. personally though I think it's great. it works a treat and if they could mess around with the email service and make it better (i dislike having to forward my email to another account) it would be perfect for ALL notification stuff...

Seems they have helpfully removed the option to retweet with RT syntax
Pretty sure Tweetie never had that. I just quote the tweet if I want to do an old fashioned kind of RT.
The first Tweetie did have it; Tweetie 2 did not. Tweetie 1 even had the ability to change themes, including a really nice black one.
It's all good
I just updated and swapped out the Twitter icon for the Tweetie 2 icon. I'll probably have to re-swap anytime it updates, but it's still better than the bird!Attachments
Eh I don't know about that... After playing with the *new* official Twitter app I still keep going back to to Twitterrific... I don't know what it is I just like it more.
For one thing the interface in Twitterrific is MUCH nicer than this official app. They should have bought Twitterrific instead of Tweetie but oh well, to each their own.
Hahahaaaa! HILARIOUS! That comment is going to be my signature. Nice one koach!
Edit: Maybe it should be called S_itter
