HootSuite Rolls Out Android Apps and iPhone App Upgrade
In: web resources
3 Mar 2010
Popular professional Twitter app maker HootSuite has just updated its iPhone app and released three new mobile applications.
HootSuite’s mobile arsenal now includes a total of four apps — iPhone and Android apps in both full and free versions.
You may recall that HootSuite’s iPhone app retails for $1.99 and is designed to appeal to business Twitter users with a robust functionality that includes unlimited account support and stats and analytics on shared media.
Now version 1.2 supports Facebook integration and landscape view. There’s an even a free “Lite” version that maintains a majority of the functionality, but dumps the price tag and sacrifices the click-through date and unlimited account support feature in the process.
HootSuite’s also introducing two brand new Android applications, both of which bring the same robust HootSuite Twitter iPhone experience to Android devices, but with background notifications to boot. Both versions of the app support multiple Twitter accounts (the Lite version is limited to three accounts), message scheduling, hashtag and search streams, photo- and URL-sharing, and trending topics descriptions. The full-featured version — which costs the same as its iPhone twin — also includes click-through statistics for Twitter data analysis.
Of course, given that HootSuite bills itself as the professional Twitter client you can expect the mobile apps to integrate nicely with your web account. Existing HootSuite users can import their configured accounts and sync their activity between the web client and the mobile apps.
As the Android operating system continues to gain market share, HootSuite’s expansion on to that platform makes absolute sense. In fact, in the months ahead we expect to see more iPhone-only apps — especially popular social media standbys — make their way over to Android as well.

Yes – and free. I have tried two and they performed well. Go to PCWORLD.COM then choose DOWNLOAD. Search for PICASA2 and download it. Also search and download irfanview. Install these programs by running the files that you just downloaded. See which one you like best; they both allow editing of graphics files. I like Picasa2 best but either is good. Have fun!

I can follow your train of thought, but remember just because someone is commissioned to create a project and to hand over all relevant plans and copies etc., of the program, doesn't mean that they do, most programers keep a copy of their programs so that they can upgrade it without having to reload all the data, so by rights to shouldn't harm the system if the programer was in deed being honest

Surely common sense is based on what the common majority want, so how can the "do gooders" out number those with common sense?
As to answer your question, yes I think UKIP geezer had some good points. We do need to control immigration, but far right parties such as the BNP, or single issued parties such as UKIP are not the answer.
