Twitterrific Comes Roaring Back Into The iPhone Twitter App Wars

During the past several months, a war has been brewing between Twitter apps for the iPhone. But it's been largely two-sided. You were either in the Twitterfon camp or the Tweetie camp. And if you were using any other app, it was only because you didn't know any better. But with the release of Twitterrific 2.0 [ iTunes link ] for the iPhone, a new player has entered the fray. Twitterrific was one of the original iPhone Twitter apps. And for a while it was the most popular one. But when newer apps like the Twinkle, Tweetsville and then Twitterfon and Tweetie came along, they just blew it out of the water with either features, speed, or both. And so I was very skeptical when trying out this latest version, thinking there was no way it could replace the two newest gold standards. But after using it for a day, I have to say, I've for the most part been won over.
