When
we tweet what’s happening around us, we share not only our thoughts,
but also web pages, photos, videos, location...anything. Mobile phones
are increasingly part of our lives, and we seem to be doing everything
but making phone calls. Reading the news, watching a YouTube video, and
taking photos at events like the World Cup are things we expect to do on
mobile phones – sharing our experiences on these little screens should
be just as easy and fast as on big ones.
When
apps work well with each other, sharing becomes as second nature on
machines as it does in person. The Android platform is really good at
that, and we’ve worked with the Android team to make it super easy to
share what’s happening. Today we are excited to announce that Twitter
for Android is available in Android Market!
Twitter
for Android is a fantastic application to use, and sharing any link or
photo is super simple too – just look for the share button in your
favorite application and choose Twitter.
Reading
tweets is easy in a bunch of places on your phone. Quickly access your
timeline with the home screen widget, view a tweet location on a map,
and see your friend’s latest tweet in your phonebook, GoogleTalk list or
any application that uses Android’s QuickContact bar.
Check
out the screenshots to see it in action.
We
had a great time working with the Android team and are thrilled that
Google will be open sourcing the code used in this app in the near
future. We look forward to the amazing experiences developers will
create using Twitter APIs in their upcoming Android apps.
This
is just the beginning. We’ll be creating more great ways to read,
find, and share what's happening on your Android phone soon!
(The
Twitter for Android app is available for phones running Android 2.1 and
above - just scan the barcode to the right. Don't forget, you can
always visit http://mobile.twitter.com/
on your phone to use Twitter)
