Didn’t Tweetbot become the official iPhone app? That’s some old version.

I just use the official app. It's not perfect (especially the recent Facebook-like addition of not showing things chronologically until you tap the 'Latest Tweets' thing), but it does the job and supports multiple accounts.

Flamingo is great for Android.

It has ads as well, there are so many much better 3rd party apps.

It may be great, but it's really hard to find in the rubbish play store. Do you have a link at all?

Oh, it got pulled from the store because of Twitter's per-app user limit Sorry.

No. You're thinking of Tweetie, the creator of which (lorenb@) was hired by Twitter to work on its first official mobile app. That shared some concepts with Tweetie, and possible some code, although it wasn't a straight up re-release or anything.

Slightly aware of the drama being played out on Twitter by Wayne Rooney’s wife and, I think, the wife of another footballer, because everyone is talking about it, and it has led to one of the best hashtags I have ever seen: #WagathaChristie

Yeah they need to stop, it's a totally pointless waste of effort. Admittedly not as bad as it used to be, I think my van is the only thing I have left that doesn't set its own clock but it's still annoying that it's wrong for six months of the year. They used to go on about kids going to school in the dark but hardly any young kids go to school on their own now anyway.

Kern still wants to change them in the summer, though.

I agree... I've had a little look at it but I don't think it'll catch on.

I found Cras and managed to follow him but when I tried to follow Jem, it asked me to log in again and do something with a server? Nah, no good.

Probably makes me sound like a twat but I'm not entirely bothered about mastodon alienating people who can't figure it out. Might help keep the quality higher.

it's not the first thing that I've given up on after 3 or 4 seconds of trying to figure it out

Jem is such a twat

especially when you can register the same username as someone else on a different instance.

If you consider it like an email address, it makes a lot more sense. Gmail.com and outlook.com are different mail server, you pick one and sign up for an account. [email protected] and [email protected] are different people. They can message each other because gmail.com and outlook.com can message each other. If you want to add me to your address book, you need my name and the name of the server.

And yeah, the onboarding process is shash. It just reeks of something that's been designed by geeks, without any thought being spared for the "common folk" that might end up using it.
