@palmwebosblog @RichardR I think my last count was about 300 applications writing twitter clients. Good luck standing out in that crowd

not you. ashton kutcher, yes. but not you.

[Kyusaku]

An IRC client and XBMC remote app, nice. I hope he gets the SDK soon. Sounds like he's got quite a few good app ideas.

[Aridon]

I really don't get twitter but whatever different strokes for different folks. Glad to see there is a lot of interest in developing an app for it.

[mahootzki]

Well, I found this on twitter ;P

I despise Ashton Kutcher too, but not because of twitter

I never really got Twitter for the average person at least. I can see sending updates from a live event like a trade show or something but for everyone else...I don't see the appeal of what is essentially a status update without the site.

edit: but an IRC client would be cool. I used to live on IRC back in the mid-late 90's.

I use to and still do, which is why this interests me a lot. I always have an IRC client running on my Treo 700wx.

Twitter lets me keep up with my friends in a simple way & it isnt Facebook, so thats a big plus in my book.

Sorry, but I dont need to know your top 5 pizza toppings or what dumb quiz you took today.

I know it has the built in search, but no confirmed app that I can recall.

Twitter is pretty basic though, so its not like you are going to have problems with it in the browser if the app isn't available at launch.

[Jason Robitaille]

Yea, Twitter themselves may be writing a WebOS port. They were listed on the list of apps available near or at launch, plus recent emulator videos show Twitter as a universal search option.

[nerdtalker]

The Pre is the perfect Twitter device. I mean, the keyboard, multitasking, everything. If they can pull it off (an app which allows GPS geotagging, auto upload of pics, e.t.c. just like pocketwit), they'll make me happy.

[bulls96]

this made me feel better about the developer community. i dont hink we are going to have a dhortage of apps.

Using Twitter in any browser sucks <snip>. Apps are where its at.

Weird that it's via Search. Strange. I'd be impressed if it was PreTweet or something.
