The View From Space

As noted in an earlier post I did a comparison of twitter apps  Twidroyd and Twitter for Android http://www.theviewfromspace.net/2010/06/twitter-for-android/

Now that I’ve had a chance to put both through the paces I’ve made a decision as to which one will be my working app.  The pros and cons noted earlier still hold for both so the deciding factor came down to speed and ease of use.  The winner for me was Twitter for Android.

Although there were definitely some features that I liked better in Twidroyd (like the bit.ly account inking), Twitter for Android came out ahead due to it’s faster updates and snappier screen refreshes.  Twidroyd appeared to clunk along when updating.  And once I got used to the Twitter interface it was much more intuitive than Twidroyd.  So while both apps perform their job admirably I’d have to give the nod to Twitter as I’m an impatient person and don’t like waiting around for my screen updates.  However, if you’re into tracking the traffic of  your bit.ly url’s  you should consider Twidroyd as it does allow you to link your twitter and bit.ly accounts.
