Twitter for Android makes big strides with latest update

A few months ago I made the switch back to Twitter for Android. It wasn’t the best client, but Tweetdeck was giving me constant problems, and none of the other Twitter apps seemed that much better. (Also, I couldn’t get Twitter off my phone for a while, which was just stupidity/laziness on my part.) The only thing missing, it seemed, was support for multiple accounts. Today I saw an update on the Market, and there it is. I can now log into multiple accounts with Twitter for Android. Switching accounts is pretty easy, too. But wait, there’s more! Also included in the update is the addition of push notifications. Via the official Twitter blog, if you select Automatic Refresh in your account settings — it was already selected when I checked mine — you’ll get a push notification. This is much better than the pull updates we got previously, since pulling data consumes more battery life. The update is available right now; you’ll see it when you go to update your apps in the Market. That is, unless you removed it on your rooted Android. In which case, you probably don’t care anyway. (And know how to get it if this entices you.)
