Twitterpated

Twitterpated is an iPhone web-based Twitter client. It works in any version of the iPhone or iPod touch. To use Twitterpated, simply open Safari on your iPhone and enter the URL http://querypath.org/tweet. You will be asked to log in. Use your normal Twitter login and password. This information is used only to connect to Twitter. Twitterpated does not keep its own account database.

Twitterpated has the following features:

  • Supports inline images from Twitpics.
  • Does not require any installing. No App Store, no iPhone hacks.
  • Allows you to surf through posts from the newest to the oldest.
  • No new account is necessary. The web app acts as a gateway between you and Twitter.
  • It's fast. All of the hard work is done on the server.

Twitterpated began as a proof of concept for QueryPath. The original version was coded in 17 minutes (on a train), and was about 24 lines of code. But the experiment was such fun, I couldn't just stop. I rewrote the application to be more generalized and to support more of the "meat and potato" Twitter features.
