Hootsuite.com is to Twitter what Gmail is to email. It’s like a swiss army knife for twitter. So if you haven’t tried it yet I highly recommend it. It’s my favorite twitter client and it’s web based. You get all the benefits of the cloud and none of the BS that comes from traditional desktop software. IE software updates syncing between multiple computers etc etc…
The new Hootstuite iPhone App (iTunes link) includes all of that functionality. The app is snappy, easy to use, and slick. It allows you to go between you mentions, DMs, etc with the swipe of the finger. Just like paging through your apps. It also has infinite scrolling ala Google Reader. I’ve been using the product for a few weeks as Ryan Holmes aka @invoker gave it to me to check out. You can get the app starting December 10th, 2009.
Pros:
* Multiple Twitter Accounts * It’s fast * It’s clean * The UI is very well done * It does stats
Cons:
* Initial setup wasn’t as simple as it could have been.
Conclusion: IMHO the Hootsuite iPhone app is the best twitter client for the iPhone.

The new twitter iPhone app, TweetGlobe, shows a 3D global view of all twitter users. Instead of just seeing the username and message of Twitter updates, users will see where in the world the people they are following are located. This app uses a 3D animated globe rendered on the screen of any iPhone or iPod Touch.
The iPhone has a new app available and it involves keeping track of your tweets with reference to the new web sensation Twitter. Normally, people only get to see the person and the message but have no idea where in the world it comes from.
Optionally, TweetGlobe can also determine any user’s specific location using GPS. Posting an update through TweetGlobe will use the iPhone’s built in GPS to determine exactly where any user is tweeting from.
Now that should be very helpful for businesses and people who want to know where strange tweets are coming from. The app can be purchased from the Apple app store for $0.99.
With Tweetglobe, you can trace them as far as the point of origin of the Tweet, using a 3D animated globe rendered on the screen of any iPhone or iPod Touch.TweetGlobe also acts as a fast and simple Twitter client that allows anyone to reply to incoming tweets or post new ones on-the-fly, as well as view the Twitter public timeline.
