ExecTweets for iPhone

Have you started to use Twitter? As you should know, Twitter lets you easily publish news and share your random thought with messages not longer than 140 characters (known as “tweet”). Your tweet will be instantly broadcasted to all your followers. That’s a lovely technology.

Theoretically, you can follow anyone on Twitter and subscribe to the update. But if you’re like me and want to follow tweets from top business executives, it’s not always an easy task to find their Twitter feeds and follow their updates.

Federated Media, which partnered with Microsoft, has come up with a solution on iPhone to solve this problem. It’s an iPhone app called ExecTweets. ExecTweets for iPhone is a simple app that aggregates Twitter feeds from nearly 100 top business executives.

So, to follow tweets from these business top minds, what you have to do is to download and install this iPhone app from App Store. Launch it and you’ll tap into the twitter feeds from these executives. You’ll find tweets from Tim O’Reilly, Steve Case, Guy Kawasaki, Richard Branson and other executives from various companies such as Microsoft, Best Buy and Zappos.

The interface of the app is very intuitive. Simply launch it and it’ll automatically download the most up-to-date tweets. And, you can browse tweets in different views including “Featured”, “Most Popular”, “All Tweets” and “Hot Topics”.

By tapping any tweets, ExecTweets lets you easily retweet, reply and share the tweet with your friends. However, the app does not come with an internal browser for opening URL. When you select to launch a URL, the app will invoke Safari to show you the content.

ExecTweets is now available on App Store and it is free for download. You can download it via this direct iTunes link. If you want to follow tweets from the world’s leading executives and learn from their business insights or get to know their suggested reading, consider to install ExecTweets on iPhone.

Of course, I’m not a top business executive. But if you enjoy reading my blog and love to get free iPhone updates, consider to follow me on Twitter!
