  • Osfoora HD: Twitter Clients Be PWND!

    Since the launch of the iPad, I was on edge trying to find the perfect Twitter client.  The offerings at first were somewhat scarce but they are starting to come out of the woodwork.  There were ones that looked pretty and were easy on the eyes, but lacked far too many key features for serious twitheads.

  • The Tweetie 1.3 Fiasco.

    Sure, we all know Apple’s App Store review process is flaky, but last night they showed the world, it’s officially broken.

    of it’s review.
