iphone and Android social networking apps recommended + commentary

Apple's iphone and Google Android are facing application battles, with apps emerging on two platforms, and iphone apps now look more dominant in gaming and entertainment categories than Android apps, most of which are ported from the iphone, At an absolute disadvantage, but in social networking apps, Android and the iphone are already on the same screen, and most of the iphone's social apps have the Android version, and the results are pretty much the same. Now let me take a look at the most popular iphone and Android social networking apps.

Weibo application

Twitter

The official iphone client app, known as Twitter, is available for users to view the latest Twitter updates.

For Android users, suggest another Twitter client: Twidroyd, also a good Twitter client, and Twidroyd supports custom APIs, which can be handy for Twitter. Android's Twitter client Twidroyd uses TWIP to build a OAuth based API, then log on to the Twitter account on the API, save a new login password, and then use the API under Twidroyd. Use Twitter's username and save the new password to log in, no need to flip the wall on the phone. (Note: my Twitter)
