The timeline switcher had to be cut to ship Tweetbot 3.0, but it’s back in version 3.1 with a new design that matches Tweetbot’s lighter new style. I’m going to retroactively state it was a joke.) (I can’t remember why I used RIM as an example. It’s simple, fun, and adds value to my productivity. Other Twitter clients in the past tried to play around with this concept of turning lists into timelines, but none of them got close to today’s implementation in Tweetbot. I can go back at any time, choose lists - even create new ones and add users to them thanks to Tweetbot’s full list management. Let’s say I want to temporarily switch to a timeline based on a list collecting people that tweet about RIM: I tap on the timeline button, select the list, and there my main timeline is replaced by the RIM folks. Here’s how I described it in my review of Tweetbot 1.0 two years ago: The possibility to turn the main timeline tab into a Twitter list has always been one of Tweetbot’s unique features. Tweetbot 3.1, available today on the App Store, improves upon last month’s major release by bringing back some old features of Tweetbot 2.x and introducing new ones, always taking advantage of iOS 7’s design and structure in interesting ways. Tweetbot for iPhone may have grown up, but it hasn’t forgotten about the features and design decisions that made it a powerful and popular Twitter client among iOS users for the past two years.
