I did look at twhirl, but really I just went with the one I saw most people in my Twitter feed using.<br/><br/>In any case I haven't opened it up once this week and am just using TwitterFon on my iPhone even when I'm at my desk! Haven't tried Tweetie yet cos TwitterFon so far has been everything that I need and it's free. I found a good comparison review <a HREF="http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/reviews/tweetie-vs-twitterfon-iphone-app-showdown/" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">here</a> and it seems that something that they highlight that TwitterFon does is "shows the number of unread tweets...plus when it loads, it automatically scrolls to the latest tweet", which implies Tweetie doesn't do that, which is functionality I can imagine I would really miss. @Jon yeah I maybe should have been more clear that there are other options out there for a good Twitter desktop client.

Twitter really has nothing at all to do with Facebook. This post was merely to help enlighten anyone new to Twitter or that didn't already know, that their experience with the service can be greatly enhanced with TweetDeck, IMHO of course.<br/><br/>To try and compare Twitter to Facebook is really comparing apples to oranges, they are two completely separate applications with different purposes and accomplish different goals. I was also confused by the similarity a Facebook status message has to a Tweet and didn't understand the difference between the two until I actually jumped into Twitter. Maybe in this subject is a good idea for a future post. @averagejoe it’s not about it being better or worse, that’s not the point of what I’m saying.
