So when you’re one of the few in the world who don’t text message, what do you use to get your Twitter fix? I tested both Twitterberry and Tiny Twitter this week and my verdict is I wish they would merge. Twitterberry is easier to DM people and it also gives you the character count. It also lets you just get just replies instead of a whole timeline. But I could never get the timeline to update–it’d give me one set of tweets but never a second.

The two downsides to Tiny Twitter are that the DM option is located back on the tweet page instead of the timeline–you type the tweet first and then look for who to send it to. Very odd. And it doesn’t count out the characters for you. But Tiny Twitter shows the entire tweet, instead of making you click to get more than 3 words. And most important, it’s easy to get updates. So until something changes, my vote is for Tiny Twitter.
