What’s up Twitter?

Being a Twitter user I was never happy with it, though I was a regular user, but I didn’t like it too much may be because of silly updates and tweaks in the site that Twitter used to without even announcing them on the official blog or might because of their slow and irresponsible sever, but these days I’m quite happy with them not because their server issues are very less as compared to the last month, but because they are improving. Seems April was a lucky month for Twitter, Twitter had done a lot of changes, even bought some companies too, which made me a great fan of them. Tonight I’m going to share with you what did Twitter do last month (evening going to share some more updates that only a few of readers know.)

This day Twitter acquired the most used Twitter iPhone application by Loren Brichter – Tweetie, which was later on renamed to Twitter for iPhone and made available for free (previously it was available at  a cost of 2.99$ at iTunes store.)

At this day @anywhere feature of Twitter was made live for all its users, using which they could easily engage with existing Twitter features from all of their favorite sites.

I’m sure most of Twitter mobile users won’t forget this day as this day Twitter acquired Cloud Hopper, messaging infrastructure company that enables Twitter to connect directly to mobile carrier networks. Twitter welcomed both Joe and Kristin of Cloudhopper to their Mobile team.

After signing a deal with Loren Brichter and Cloudhopper, Twitter moved their hands on Android phones too. This day Twitter launched it’s first ever application for Google Andriod phones powered by 2.1 or above version of the Operating System.

These were the changes that Twitter did (officially did) in the month of April, but I have also noticed some more changes which were not announced on official blog (may be they are testing them), which I would like share too.

ReTweet Page

Retweet Page

Remember Twitter added retweet feature using which one can easily retweet someone’s shared thing? Now they have added something similar to that – A RT page! This page has three tabs available and they are:

  1. Retweets By Others: This tab covers the status shared and Retweeted of the famous celebreties (as you can also see in the picture).
  2. Retweets By You: This one covers the Tweets, which has been Retweeted by you.
  3. Your Tweets, Retweeted!: This page will show you the status of your profile which has been Retweeted by others with their profile link and image too.

The changes that Twitter made especially in their servers are really appreciable (appreciate it!) and all these changes made me a great fan of it. Now I don’t have anything bad to say about them. Just two words – ‘Keep Rocking’. You too can say something if you want, just drop it down! :)
