Hey guys… I’m pretty new to this “tweeting” and I use Twitter Ride. I just sync it with my facebook account. When I “tweet” it shows up on my facebook account… but for some reason when I try to “re-tweet” someone else tweet, it doesn’t show up on my facebook. I know other “re-tweet” all the time in facebook b/c I see the “RT@…” many times. Am I doing something wrong? My facebook account is synced up.

I also cannot figure out how to delete my own tweets in twitter ride.

Thank you =

If and when you find the re-tweet option, which I see upon reviewing the app you left off, please let me know. Other than it’s not customizable, that would be my only gripe. It updates faster than my desktop app – Twhirl. I actually love the app and it’s name.

Hey guys,

I stopped using Twidroid for a few reasons: kept force closing and repeated login troubles. After discovering and experimenting with TwitterRide, the first thing I realized, a huge difference in speed. TwitterRide simply doesn’t lag, at least when I use it. I haven’t noticed the battery issue yet.

Here’s another thing, I don’t rely on TwitterRide for most of my Twitter use when I can use Tweetdeck or EventBox on my Macbook.

Thanks for asking this. On a personal note, I have stopped using Twidroid and have not tried the post-Cupcake version (which I should). I now use TwitterRide because I don’t have to even visit the Twitter website. True Twidroid has more URL shortener and pic services but it has been so buggy in my experience with it. The buttons were unstable upon press and I couldn’t get the app to update status.

The only problem I’m having with TwitterRide is the toll it takes on battery. I have not pin-pointed it yet. But after installing it (plus installing a bunch of other apps) and running it, when charging the phone on AC power… it takes hours to charge versus the 20-30 minutes… Strange

I have the very same thought. How does it compare to Twidroid?

Hmmm, this seems like a strong contender against Twidroid.

Actually, I’d kinda like to see both of them in a side by side comparison.

I think I’ll stick with Twidroid though, as it can update much more frequently (3 minutes vs. 5 minutes), uses many more URL shortening and picture hosting services, and is also smaller in size, I believe.

Great write up though!
