Tweetie 2 is the long awaited sequel to the popular iPhone Twitter client. Tweetie 2 brings a ton of new features to the table, while keeping everything you loved about the original. In this post, we will take a look at all that Tweetie 2 has to offer.

Of course you have the timeline of the people that you follow.Swipe a tweet and you can reply, open in Safari, mail, repost, save to ReadIt Later, view the tweeters profile, favorite, retweet, or quote it.Clicking on the tweet takes you to the expanded view, where you can follow any links, hashtage, or view the tweeter's profile. If the tweeter has posted any pics, they will be viewable in this screen.
Touching the button on the right will bring up the retweet menu, where you can retweet, mail a link to the tweet, or quote a tweet.Touching the left button will bring up the reply menu, where you can reply to the last tweeter or all @mentions in the tweet.Touching the paper clip button will bring up the mail and quote options. These are different from the mail tweet and quote tweet from the other menu. These buttons mail or quote only the link included in the tweet. The other menu mails or quotes the actual tweet. Touching the star button will favorite that tweet.
Click on the search button (the hourglass) and you can view current Twitter trends and your saved searches.Click on "Nearby" and you are presented with a map showing tweets in your area. Move the map around and zoom in or out to see more tweets or get a more accurate depiction of where the tweet was posted.Click on one of the flags to read the tweet associated with it.
Viewing someone's profile is easy enough. Just click on their name and picture in expanded view or on the head icon if you swiped the tweet.The services near the bottom of the profile help you decide who or who not to follow.Tweet Blocker assigns a user a letter grade based on how many people have blocked them.
Follow Cost gives you how many tweets per day that the user posts both recently and all time. You can also see what percent of that user's tweets get replies.Favstar gives you data on which tweets written by one user get favorited by other users.Last but not least, from the screen that lists out your accounts, click Settings -> Advanced -> Install Safari Bookmarklet for instructions on how to create a bookmarklet that will automatically enter the url info, should you find something you want to tweet.
To save you some time, here is the bookmarklet: "javascript:window.location='tweetie:'+window.location" and here is the link on how to install a bookmarklet in your Browser.
Some more notes, and the one feature that has me, as an iPod touch user, is that you can use Tweetie 2 offline, and when you get to where you have a network connection, you can sync and all of the tweets you made throughout the day are posted. Tweetie 2 also lets you sync the links that you may want to save to ReadIt Later or Instapaper. The link to ReadIt Later can be found here.
Oh, one more thing! Everything above can be done in landscape mode!
