Ever since I bought an iPhone I have been talking about how great it is and how it is a total game changer. One of the applications I would always tell people to jailbreak for was

Twinkle
, this is no longer the case as it was available in the app store for FREE quickly after the stores launch. What makes it so great? Well it's
+ location. All the microblogging goodness of Twitter with all the benefits of a device that knows where you are at any given moment. It is quite simple really. They have a timeline that is only available through Twinkle, when you post something they add it to their location based timeline and to your Twitter timeline. If you post anything while you are not on Twinkle, it copies it into your Twinkle timeline from Twitter. This has allowed me to have conversations and get informed I things that are happening around me. That I would have never have found out about otherwise. Really making the whole Twitter experience a whole lot more enjoyable. This is not to say that Twinkle doesn't have it's faults, because it seriously does.
I really am now thinking of a more robust Twinkle that can do what they are doing now, better. A tool that allows for Twittering and chatting based on locations. Twitter + location + irc. But that's another blog post all together. Twinkle version 1.2 has been promised to be out soon with at least being able to block users, but that is not necessarily a good thing because honestly, I don't mind the chatterboxes, Id just rather have the option to read all their messages or not. In conclusion, go get Twinkle now if you own an iPhone. But please pick the same name as your Twitter account!
