Another needed update and so far no bounce back on my Twitter timeline. Thank You.

Yes! I've been waiting for the update that brought "promoted tweets" (or ADS by any other name). *sarcasm* :(

Funny how the "promoted tweet" I saw yesterday was about RIM releasing the Playbook OS 2.0...

when you select a promoted tweet, the option "dismiss" appears in the menu. if you click it all of the promoted ads vanish. and since i clicked it a few hours ago, i haven't received another one. And i haven't seen that menu option since then either lol. im happy. though the app is a little schizo, hopefully they'll address that.

From the beta page, no link to download the client as opposed to the Facebook beta. Anyone was able to successfully download this beta ?

Posted by johnsoj2us Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Guibs, i found it, keep going through the pages, at one point it did throw me for a loop but i was able to get to the "downlaod" button

Posted by Guibs Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

After ready your post, I went back and finally found it. It wasn't in the download tab like it should be (and like the facebook link was).

thanks for pointing me at the right place.

If I can't edit retweets and can't go over 140 characters, then this is of no use to me. Viva la UberSocail!

Posted by UnknownError507 Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

The only thing i found useful in this update is the shorten link, but i still have a problem with repeating tweets...Oh well lets hope one day it will be fixed.

For now im gonna use UberSocial (UberTweet).

Crap, I thought we would get out of the new twitter with the ads in your timeline. I freakin' hate them on the pc. Please RIM, give the option to get rid of them.

Posted by ddj247 Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Bring this to the PLAYBOOK!! All current Twitter apps for it SUCK! I still love my PlayBook =).

Posted by mckillio Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Have you tried Blaq? It's pretty awesome, especially with being able to view links inside the app.

Posted by MoolahMitch Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Agreed, where is the Official Twitter for Playbook app, thought that would have been there out the box or at least in OS 2.0 since Facebook has been onboard from the get go.

Posted by SC457 Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

looks the same but performance is definitely improved. doesn't get hung up and scrolls really smooth. still using this for the push notifications mostly, UberSocial is still my main twitter app. great to see updates and improvements coming though!

Posted by ddj247 Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Agreed! The OS is on point and fast. Awesome update for sure.

Still no support for tweetlonger etc... #fail

Posted by FlyHigh365 Wednesday, Feb 22, 2012 94 days ago

Lol. Maybe you need to stop writing paragraphs then. If you need tweetlonger, you're writing a little tooooo much.

Will this be out of the Beta zone soon? I'm kind of disappointed, I expected to see a whole new app, I mean, we -are- talking about a whole new version, from 2.1 to 3, I wanted to see the app with the same redesign work that's on iPhone and Android, but from the picture and the change log I see that didn't happen.. oh well.
