Twinkle a location-based Twitter client for iPhone

Posted on the July 18th, 2008 under iPhone,Technology,Twitter by Al

The other day Robert Scoble had a Qik video in which he interviewed on of the developers of Twinkle (web link, iTune link) a Twitter client for the iPhone. Yes, yet another Twitter client and yes for the iPhone. Twinkle caught my eye because it’s location-aware.

Unlike Twitterrific and Twittelator which can add a link to your tweet to show your location, Twinkle can show you a feed of tweets by people within a certain radius of you. When it launches it requests the use of the GPS to find your current location.

The default distance to search for “local” tweets is 50 miles but that can be changed.

Is it tired after the long weekend? Or does it have a fear of getting old?
