Zune HD Twitter App Walk Through with Matt Singley
Retail & Consumers
Written by Efren Toscano   
Thursday, 17 December 2009 12:22

Yesterday I was hanging out at the Zune house in LA for a live ZuneChat with the All American Rejects. That was pretty cool and all but the awesome thing was during the event the new Twitter app for the ZuneHD was released and we got Matt Singley (@mattsingley) to give us a walk through of the app.  At first look it definitely had a sweet looking interface.  There was nothing fancy about it, just simple tweeting and to the point.  It gives you all the support and functionality you are looking for in a small WiFi device.  The two things that I did notice was the lack of Retweet feature and the support for list.  I'm sure in a future update they will include those given they are fairly new features on twitter itself.

A few hours ago I read on Engadget that Microsoft censors your Tweets! Making any swear words appear like this "F**k!".  Although this really is not a big issue for me since I don't really swear on Twitter.  I definitely don't agree with Microsoft filtering Twitter. If they would have made it an optional feature I'm sure the backlash they are going to get from this wasn't going to be so bad.  However, Overall it is a solid first Twitter app for the Zune HD.
