    Now I don't know if this will help anyone, but it sure did me.
    I was having a really hard time with TwitterBerry, and their lack of working notifications. So i deleted the app, signed up for the SMS text alerts, and downloaded TinyTwitter. I get SMS updates instantly when theres a new post (much nicer than setting it to go onto the data network every __ minutes to check) and i use TinyTwitter to read past posts, and just to show people "LOOK! Miley and Taylor have Twitter!"

    So that's my Twitter solution, that works really well for me. I hope someone finds this helpful.

    P.S. If you're wondering why i don't use TwitterBerry if I don't want notifications from it, it's because TinyTwitter doesn't freeze and lag when scrolling like TwitterBerry. And you can read full posts without clicking it.

    Sorry... I'm new...

    So do your alerts get charged like regular text messages? I don't have an unlimited text messaging plan outside of my network (Verizon).

    Any thoughts??

    Thanks!

    This is exactly what I do. The only thing is that I only allow "tweats" to come in from one person on Twitter.

    Does tinytwitter use sms? I see a setting for it in the menu, but not sure if it is actually using it.

    i have no idea.
    i have SMS alerts set up through Twiiter.com
    tinytwitter for me is just to go more in depth when i want too.
    and how do you NOT have unlimited text?!
    i send at least 3000 a month,
    oh wait, maybe your not 14

    No, I am not 14 and everyone I would text has a Blackberry so I use BBM. I get a limit of 250 text a month and don't want to burn them using twitter. I guess I wll just test it out and see what happens.

    I like twitter and all, but I will never subscribe to the SMS alerts... No one needs to be THAT connected. I have turned off all alerts for TwitterBerry and check it when it suits me.

    I grew tired of TwitterBerry as well. The new version of TinyTwitter is simply great. The search feature alone makes it the best Twitter app around. Also, TB is pretty bugged - I'd frequently get a lot of uncaught exceptions and other Java errors. Plus compared to TinyTwitter, the newest TB's timeline UI is straight fugly. TT 4 LIfe! (At least until SocialScope comes out of closed beta)
