 Tell the world your every thought with Twitter's very own opp.

It took Twitter quite a while to get around to releasing its own iPhone app: for a long time, we all had to make do with apps developed by other companies, such as TweetDeok. Last year the company took the plunge, buying Tweetle, rebranding it as Twitter, giving it a facelift and making it free. The result is slick, easy to use and packed with useful features.

You can use Twitter to browse other users' tweets, but if you're planning on tweeting yourself you'll need to create an account online and enter the details when you first download the app. Here's how Twitter for iPhone works,

1 Getting started

Welcome to your Twitter feed. Hit the top right to write a message; find public or private messages directed at you at the bottom,

2 How refreshing

To check for new tweets, pull downwards; your stream refreshes. Lights at the bottom of the screen indicate new messages

3 Join the conversation

Sweep sideways on a tweet to reply, ret we et, mark the message as a favourite, or view an attached photo.

 4 Find out more

Hit an individual tweet fo click on links, or hit the top of the screen to see the tweeter's profile

5 In profile

Tapping around from here shows you who a Twitterer follows and is followed by, or their most recent tweets.

To add images,hashfags, shortened links or your location to your tweets, hit the little icons in the message composition screen.
