Twidgit Lite is a simple Twitter client that allows you to easily check your twitter feed and send out messages to your followers. It also comes with a very convenient widget. This is a great app for the person who just wants to follow friends and occasionally tweet.
You can download this here on the Market.
Twidgit Lite was my introduction to Twitter on my Android phone. I found this to be a very easy to use application that provides enough functionality to be able to check my twitter feed and post new messages. From the main screen you can use the controls at the top of the screen, in this order; settings, tweet, and refresh. You can also click on the hyperlinks within any tweets you see and click on the star to the right of the tweet to perform specific actions on the tweet, and/or friend that posted it.
Settings Twidgit Lite allows you to link up a single twitter account to it, you have the ability to create a new account or subscribe to an existing one. The update frequency can be set so you can control how active your phone is with Twitter. Remember that every poll will consume some of your battery power. The important setting, in my mind, is the notification setting. You can control whether you are getting notifications via, led, sound, vibration and every combination of the three. Be careful with this setting as you don't necessarily need to know that the guy you follow from China is just getting to work at 4 am in the night. However this is it as far as customizations of Twidgit, not much more we can do here.
Tweeting Tweeting can be done several ways via the tweet button on the upper right part of the main application, by clicking on the star button to the right of any of the tweets from people you are following or from the widget. When you are tweeting you have the ability to take a picture (for upload to twitpic), use a picture from your image library or create a shorten ed url using tinyurl. Of course trending topics and mentions will work in this screen. I have occasionally had problems uploading pictures to twitpic, but not any problems submitting tweets (unless twitter is down), however if the message send fails you can retry the send by hitting the send button again.
All in all tweeting is very fluid and you can do this all from a single screen with ease.
