In practice, the Twitter app results in several minutes I spend scrolling and trying to find the last tweet I saw when I closed the app. I did try to use the Twitter’s own app 1 at one point, but the fact that the app would sometimes reload the whole timeline and scroll me all the way up killed it for me.
This is not something I am comfortable with, nor is it something that I can do with with a clear conscience. I know of people who, upon seeing a few hundred tweets, prefer to scroll up and then go down the other way, just to catch up on the last hour or so. I read or skim my whole timeline, sometimes curating it as as I go up and up, on my way to Tweet Timeline Zero. Unfortunately, the official Twitter app doesn’t support sync and leaves much to be desired for timeline gaps. More importantly, whenever a timeline gap occurs I need the ability to load tweets without making the timeline scroll and lose my position.
I want to be able to wake up in the morning and start reading my timeline from where I left it the night before and, I want to know that I can close Twitter for a couple of hours in the afternoon without losing my place in a stream of tweets. This behavior makes timeline gaps and timeline sync one of the most prominent aspects I have to consider in a Twitter client. I know that I haven’t missed cool apps, links, and news thanks to my dedication to reading my entire timeline every day, and for this reason, in spite of strong evidence suggesting that Twitter doesn’t intend timelines to be consumed this way, I won’t change how I read Twitter. Particularly after launching better linked posts on the site and starting our MacStories Weekly newsletter with a dedicated Links section, discovering stuff on the Internet has become essential to my livelihood, and Twitter is the best (and most diverse) service for this. Because I’ve always used the service to discover interesting new apps and links, I’ve developed a habit of trying not to miss a single tweet that is shared or retweeted in my timeline, with the only exception for the weekends. A few paragraphs in, I noticed the following words, which tie in exactly with my own thoughts. He really does get down into the specific details of each one. Since Twitter is one of my favourite ways to waste spend my time, I jumped in with gusto. This sounds like a great idea for indie devs (great price), a tolerable idea for Twitterrific users (the app is currently funded by a tip jar the ads look nice), and a bad idea once Twitter finds out (I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Twitter client implement their own ads).įederico Viticci wrote a post review as close to a book as you can get about Twitter clients. What’s more, we take care of creating the ad for you ourselves and even provide App Analytics for iOS or Google Analytics for websites.

Now you can advertise your app, website, product or service directly on Twitterrific’s expansive network of tech-savvy users for just $100 a month.

When it comes to online advertising, the big question has always been: how do I get the most bang for the least bucks? If you’re a small developer with a limited budget (like we are), then you’re accustomed to carefully picking and choosing how and where to promote your product to reach the widest possible audience.
