Hi,
I searched the forum for topics about twitter, but could only find a few very specific topics. I think that a general topic about twitter could be useful.
This review seems very nice:

However, I am specifically looking for a twitter app that allows me to edit followers (accepting new ones on my protected account). I cannot find a way to do that on mobile.twitter.com, Twidroyd or Seesmic. Do any of you use a twitter app that allows this?

THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
I Think the idea of timescape is quite fantastic, having everything on one look. I use it for Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Rss feeds and i love that it actually opens each dedicated app if you click on the feeds BUT I find the appearance of the Program really annoying, you can hardly read 20letters in overview mode... so I wanted to ask whether there is a usable alternative to this. I tried out tweetdeck, but no RSS (and no Gmail) support scared me away... I also couldnt figure out whether there are themes for timescape that could help me.
Hey guys, I recently came up with an idea for a new app I will call "Socialize" and I wanted some feedback on it. I am currently working on it and will have a preview of my progress up within a few weeks. It won't have that many features, as my first priority is Twitter support, and the first preview will probably only have the ability to login and post a tweet.
What is Socialize?
Socialize is a new way to manage all your social 'stuff' from one place. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ will be the first supported networks. Chat support will probably be added in later.
Isn't there already and app that does the same thing/has the same name?
No. I spent about an hour a week ago searching for such an app and didn't find one. There is also no app with the name "Socialize."
So yeah guys, leave your thoughts below, if you have any recommendations, leave a reply! No stealing my idea either, I have a copyright.

I thought google+ was only supported through the offical app. And how did you copyright the idea of a social media all-in-one app?
sounds cool! i'd use it if the design follows the ics design standard
dont really like the official facebook app

I'm gonna add G+ support once the api gets released. Thats the only thing I need.

Well of course
I like the idea, but it isn't the first. Socialscope does the same thing for Instagarm, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare. Hootsuite does it for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare.

I'll have to see if I can think of any features that are unique then.
Does anyone use the People App with a Twitter account?
If so, how fast do links open in Internet Explorer?
I have both Facebook and Twitter connected. For me links from Facebook posts open straight away in IE. Twitter links, on the other hand, take over 10 seconds.
The app I would like to duplicate is Kik messenger. I found a thread on here a while ago where a user developed a custom version of the Kik app and it worked great, I had 2 separate kik apps on my device. I've searched everywhere for this thread but I simply can't find it again. The app was called BH kik, or something similar.
So, does anyone know how to duplicate an android app? Several YouTube videos I've looked at are now outdated and do not work.
