Twozaic brings
the full twitter experience and beyond: browsing tweets in multiple views, user management, list management, direct messages, posting photos, searching tweets and users, etc. Twozaic is now available in the
Windows Phone 7 marketplace.
This website provides a screenshot based walkthrough with additional help topics. You can also find a promotion video on Youtube.
The main screen
Twozaic has three viewing options:
- cloud view, to instantly see important people's tweets,
- histogram, to zoom out on the timeline and observe peak moments or quarrels between your friends ;-)
- and your ordinary list view with inline pictures from yfrog, plixi, tweetphoto and twitpic.
By swiping the view, one can go to the next "page" of tweets. (page turns over in 3d).
By selecting a tweet in the view, the content is shown in the middle section. There one can reply (RE), retweet (RT), or navigate to the detailed tweet information (...).
The source of the timeline and the view can be changed by selecting the source and view in the title section:
By tapping on the text of a tweet a popup is shown containing hashtags, mentions, links, that then can be clicked on. Fingers are to thick to click links in the tweet text itself. You can navigate to these links using this popup.
By tapping on the user image of the tweet, one navigates to the user details page (see "user details").
Tapping "..." in the header section brings up the application bar (see below). There one can create a new tweet, reload the timeline, or go to the configuration screen etc.
The application menu
When tapping "..." on the application bar, the whole application menu will slide out. From the icon bar you can search for tweets, create new tweets, refresh your current timeline, and access the configuration of your accounts.
Furthermore, from the menu, you can go to people management, your direct messages, your lists and the help & about webpage (this website). You can also check the status of the twitter servers in case of problems.
The configuration screen
Twozaic supports multiple accounts for twitter, for example a personal account and a work account. You must have created a Twitter account on the Twitter website before you can use it in Twozaic. The configuration and activation of a certain account in Twozaic is done through the configuration screen.
- New: creates a new account and brings you to the twitter username and password settings.
- Delete: removes the account.
- Activate: activates the account as the current, active account. All your actions will now occur as this identity.
- User name: your twitter username.
- Password: your twitter password .
You can also choose to automatically add geo locations and configure a certain account as your primary default account to use at start up. Furthermore you can configure for each account: the preferred image host, the startup view, and the startup timeline.
New tweet
When creating a new tweet you can also add a geo-location (but only after you activated geo-locations on the twitter website).
Furthermore, you can add a picture from the camera or the picture folder, and rotate it if necessary. Your picture will be posted to the picture host your configured above.
The tweet details screen
In the tweet details one can reply to the tweet, retweet directly, retweet with editing, favorite the tweet, or delete the tweet ( if the tweet is yours). In the goto tab you find the links in the tweet to users, websites, hashtags, retweets and geo-location.
The user details screen
The user details screen shows the details about the user you selected. You can follow or unfollow the user, block or unblock the user, go to the user's tweets or favorite tweets.
In the application bar you can send a tweet or a direct message to the user, go to the user's lists, and enlist the user in your own lists.
People
The people screen shows your followers, friends (people you follow) and blocks (people you blocked). You can select a user by clicking the picture, which will bring you to the user details screen. You can also search for people here.
