HootSuite’s Twitter client for iPhone has been updated with a few powerful new features, like automated language translation, bumping iPhones to follow one another, and geotagging tweets. HootSuite also plays nice with Facebook now, just like their web app, enabling users to send updates to page fans and profile friends.
Geotagging support is excellent, but a bit of a no-brainer. I’m curious to see the real use cases for translations; HootSuite pegs itself as a twitter client for pros, so maybe companies dealing with a lot of international customers would find the feature handy. There have been a few usability improvements as well, including landscape keyboard, reply to all, Bump to follow people on Twitter, and general interface enhancements.
There’s still no BlackBerry app, so I have trouble being all-in with HootSuite, but the few times I’ve given it a shot on the desktop, it’s proven to be really slick. There are a lot of tools for analytics and team tweeting, so if those are priorities, it’s hard to go wrong. Download links are available below.
