Mauku Update Adds Twitter Support!

Posted in Applications at 9:47 am by Jonathan Greene

Mauku has long been the best way to stay connected to Jaiku regardless of platform and today we’ve received a very nice update that adds Twitter into the fold as well. I’ve gotten a lot of questions on how to stay connected to twitter from the tablet and outside of IM which has not worked for months, the web site was the only solution until now.

In the above screenshot, Twitter updates are green and Jaiku are yellow. In one view, you’ve got a simple dashboard into the social conversation. The Mauku UI is optimized for finger touch over stylus and supports gestures as well if you’ve never seen it in action. For now the update is only in the unstable repository (change user to unstable in the repository setting after you install), though I’d imagine with the excitement around this release, we’ll be able to sort out the bugs and move it to release very quickly.

    I was able to send to both Jaiku and Twitter at the same time … have not tried just twitter as I actually post for more on Jaiku. Just being able to keep up with others on Twitter is the real bonus for me

    links from Technoratigood plans about all that and a little bit because Twitter changed since I started the project [mostly the limits and user behavior].) A few weeks ago, Mauku, the Maemo client to Jaiku (the micro-blogging platform now owned by Google), announced thatthey will have support for Twitter. Now users have an option to update their Twitter status in their N770, N800 and N810. Basically, Mauku did was I was trying to do for a long time. And all that around a time when Twitter is under, let

    @Mecanix you’ll need to change the setting in the application repository … Switch out user for unstable. Keep in mind with this setting you will definitely be getting unstable releases…

    Since I posted this, the app has updated once and I would expect at least one more before it’s final.

    Cool! Thanks! I have been waiting for a twitter app. I have a jaiku account, but use Twitter a lot more. Very useful.
