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.

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!

Have you ever googled something only to find out that it links to a long page where the information you are searching for is hard to find? The Find On Page bookmarklet will find and highlight every instance of your search term.

Search Wiki does exactly what the name says. A box will pop up to type your search term in, and then you will be taken to the wiki page for that term. Remember to use copy and paste to make this even better.

In the last post, I explained how to put a bookmarklet on your device in five easy steps. Now we will get down to the nitty gritty and give you some useful bookmarklets that have been personally tested by me and will definitely work on your device. I will provide the javascript so that it can be pasted and you can start your journey in the wonderful world of bookmarklets on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Post With Twitterrific


Use Post With Twitterrific while browsing the web to share all the cool stuff you read with the whole world.

Javascript:
javascript:window.location='twitterrific:///post?message='+escape(window.location)

Save to Read It Later
Read It Later is an app that allows users, once they have created an account, to save web pages for offline viewing. This bookmarklet sends whichever url you are on to the Read It Later website. Open the app and sync to have the page stored on your device.

Javascript:
javascript:(function()%7BISRIL_H='1b12';ISRIL_SCRIPT=document.createElement('SCRIPT');ISRIL_SCRIPT.type='text/javascript';ISRIL_SCRIPT.src='http://readitlaterlist.com/b/r.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')%5B0%5D.appendChild(ISRIL_SCRIPT)%7D)();/*INSTALLED*/

Show All Links
Show All Links gets rid of everything else and provides you with a list of the links available on any web page.

Javascript:
javascript:var%20a='';for(var%20ln=0;ln%3Cdocument.links.length;ln++)%7bvar%20lk=document.links[ln];a+=ln+':%20%3Ca%20href=\''+lk+'\'%20title=\''+lk.text+'\'%3E'+lk+'%3C/a%3E%3Cbr%3E\n';%7dw=window.open('','Links','scrollbars,resizable,width=400,height=600');w.document.write(a);

Show All Pics
Show All Pics is similar to Show All Links. Use this bookmarklet to see nothing but the pictures from a website.

Convert to Mobile
Convert to Mobile will load any page you are on in the Google Mobile Format. Great for all you iPhone users since it uses less bandwidth.

Javascript:
javascript:document.location='http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u='+document.location

These are five of the many bookmarklets available to users. I have collected these over time, so I don't know exactly where I got them. Credit goes to all of the script kiddies out there who have created these wonderful scripts.

In case you don't know, a bookmarklet is a piece of javascript, saved as a bookmark, that provides a new level of functionality for the internet. Bookmarklets can be used for a variety of purposes, and new ones are being created all the time.
Back in the old days, before the 3.0 update, bookmarklets on the iPhone were kind of a pain. You had to find the bookmarklet, save it as a favorite on your computer's browser, then sync your device in order to get it transferred. Kind of a pain, expecially for those of you who do not sync your device on a regular basis. It definitely beat out the alternative, which was typing the javascript in manually.
Now we have the new OS and it's wonderful Copy and Paste features. The process, while still a little complicated, is easier and does not involve syncing to your computer anymore. Follow this step-by-step process to create very useful bookmarklets for your iPhone or iPod touch:

First, find the javascript for your favorite bookmarklet. Double tap the text and copy it to the clipboard.

Second create a blank open window. This can be done by entering "about:blank" in the address bar or by clicking the "New Page" button in Safari.

Third bookmark the blank page by pressing the "+" button. Go ahead and name your bookmarklet.

Fourth click the bookmark button. In the bottom left corner of your bookmarks page click the "Edit" button.

Fifth select your new bookmark. Double click on the address portion and the paste button will pop up. Click it and paste the javascript into this box.

Congratulations! You have just created a bookmarklet.
