Mobile Twitter Client – Twim
Social services have become very popular recently. I have already created an account to such sites as Facebook, Twitter, Pownce, Jaiku and few others.
Twitter seems to be quite popular amongst geeks like me. It is a great platform for micro-blogging but as I really don’t want to use SMS messages to update my status on the go and I don’t like to use the browser interfaces with my phone’s browser (because it sucks) I decided to write a small application for my mobile phone so that I could check the recent twits(?) and to change my status easily on the go.
Here are few screenshots from the first public release of Twim application.
Twim is mobile Twitter client written in J2ME and it runs on phones that support MIDP 2.0 profile. I also released the source code for the application under the Apache 2.0 license so you are welcome to improve it if you like. I coded this baby with the latest version of NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta and I have to say that the NetBeans’ new IDE is coming along very nicely.
Go ahead and download the JAR file from application page or if you are interested you can go and download the source code with NetBeans IDE project files from the Google Code page.

Chris: Thanks for reminding me about that. I just committed the latest changes to the repository. I also fixed the NetBeans project files so that you should be able to open and build it easily with NetBeans IDE 6.0.

I’ve downloaded a twim source and it needs an additional library to compile. could you write how to include it and compile twim?

@jo: It doesn’t need an additional library to compile Twim from the source. You should be able to do that just by opening it with NetBeans IDE and pressing Run button.
