Hi,
I'm the developer of Radio 140, which just came out on the appstore
.
The app allows listening to twitter, the goal behind it being to follow twitter without having to interact with or watch the screen: you can have a walk, watch the nature, cook, and so on, while staying up-to-date on your twitter addiction
It uses iOS7 text-to-speech to continuously read your timeline, as well as a preview of links contained in the tweets.
If one of these links need further reading, you can either add it to your Safari reading list, or open it in Radio140: there, you can click on some text to hear it (the app will also try to determine alone the "best" paragraph to read as soon as you open the page).
Aside from the timeline, you can make a "radio" on a given search, or use one of the selection of twitter accounts/searches offered by the app. This selection can be updated, so feel free to make suggestions of what you would like to see.
Globally, the app is still young (this is a pet project with a coworker from Orange), and I intend to improve it, so don't hesitate to give feedbacks !
