HelloTwitFace

What’s this about then?
HelloTwitFace is a small application for updating your Twitter and Facebook status using HelloTxt. It’s also the best looking Twitter client for Windows Mobile!
The twitter part of the application is new to version 2.0 and replaces the twitter tab in version 1.0 that just use m.twitter.com. The twitter tab now shows the profile images of those people your following on twitter. There is also the Fantastic “De-Scobleizer” feature. If you follow Robert Scoble you know he tweets a lot, so I intvented the “De-Scobleizer” tab, a tab that filters out one individuals tweets.
Sounds good, what are the system requirements?
Simple, like the app.
- Windows Mobile 5 or 6, Professional. Note for now it’s not working on Standard (smart phone)
- An account with hellotxt.com
- An account with twitter.com
- An account with Facebook.com
- It would be good if you had an unlimited data account or this could cost you lots
Where to get it?
Just here, just copy the .cab file to your device and run it.
How do I use it?
Start the app, there will be a shortcut like this
in Start / Programs. When the app starts for the first time it will check to see if it’s up to date, if it’s not AppToDate will be launched (you can say no) to update HelloText, it will also take you to the settings menu to enter your twitter details.
There a 3 options on the Navigation menu:
- Back - if you follow a link, this will go back, only works on the selected Tab
- Home - takes you to the default mobile page for that tab
- Refresh All - refreshes all the pages.
The only other menu button closes the app.
What else do I need to know?
I’ll be updating the application, and I’ve built in MoDaCo AppToDate support. You should download AppToDate to keep up to date with this and other applications from here.
Gonna download and give it a try now, great to see AppToDate support! I’ve added you to the list of compatible apptodate apps at MoDaCo.
You’re one of the first in what will be a prestigious list of supporting developers (all being well)!
