Here is another client, but its just not you ‘usual’ Twitter client. This one is like Tweetie, very simple clean and cut. Echofon does not take up much screen space which is a huge factor in my book. Something like tweetdeck that will take up your whole screen isnt something I am really fond of. I would really rather have echofon rather than tweetdeck for that one reason. But dont let the small factor fool you it has many features. Lets take a look at a picture.
As you can see its very simple. You have your Timeline for the people your following, mentions, direct messages, lists, and search. Its a compact view, If you want to look at their profile you can click that profile picture in the time line and a drawer will open. In the image above you see that I’ve pointed a blue arrow at something in the timeline. Thats the new Twitter Retweet feature. Echofon has for it and it looks slick! You can still choose to retweet the way old that echofon calls “RT with comment” which follows: RT @thatperson. But the new way just makes it much easier for other people to see the original tweet.
From the drawer menu you can see all their tweets, whos following them and who they are following, you can also block, unblock, follow, unfollow, reply, and DM a user. Right below that they have added support for twitter lists, you can see what lists these people are a part of and what lists they made.
Search: The last I want to talk about is the search, now this is the coolest thing they could do for the search ‘home.’ Echofon automatically pulls all the trending topics from Twitter and puts them as the home for the search menu. You can click any of these and look further into them. It pulls the 10 latest trending topics from twitter.
Conclusion: All in all I think this twitter client has many ways to come, but then again its only in beta. I think once it becomes around 1.5 this twitter client is going to be big, even bigger than tweeite. I think the best part of this twitter client is the developers behind it are avid. They are always fixing bugs and always implementing new twitter features.
