Lack of Twitter support was one of the main hangups I had with Windows Mobile 7 at the start but we saw quickly started 3rd party apps for this functionality. However, it was not until now, when one that was really useful live appeared (top of the file screen notifications) support tile and toast. Beezz rolled out in the marketplace with this notification support, version 1.1, and is available free.
The first Twitter app that was started on Windows Mobile 7 Seesmic, but it does not support the native keyboard functionality, so that immediately uninstalled. Keyboard support has been added, but there are too many screens for me so that I don't use it. The official Twitter app was the next and it works pretty well. However, there is no notification support a real pain to have to go into the application and wait to update, to see your latest Twitter stream.
Beezz can be found on the market square (link to the Zune desktop) and give it a try. It has now earned a place above the fold on my home screen. There is no support for multiple account, no way to upload video and no conversation view. Lack of conversation view kills me and, I hope you add as a priority for the next update.
