I get asked once in awhile why I spend all this time making a twitter client and give it away.  For the most part I started out just writing it for myself so it would work like I wanted.  There was a certain way I had envisioned a windows mobile twitter client working and I wanted to get back into mobile programming anyway so it seemed like a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone if you will.

I got to learn allot about the .net web libraries that I hadn’t worked with before as well as learn quite a bit about phone power management and other oddities of working with a phone vs the desktop.

The thing that really keeps me going though is the userbase of the ceTwit programs.  I get quite a bit of feedback and have made some great contacts on twitter with people that use ceTwit.  All of the users give great feedback and have become a real neat group of people contributing ideas and thoughts about how things work or could work differently.

The refresh of ceTwit to the 2.0 versions has given me the opportunity to take all the feedback I have gotten over the past few months and really rewrite things from scratch and make it a much better piece of software.  The ability to have it always refreshing on my phone has really changed how I can use twitter.  The merged timeline and alerts have been fun to play with also.

Hopefully I’ll be releasing the 2.0 finals in the next week or so for both platforms.  I’ve been getting great feedback from the beta testers and making speedy progress on getting things ready to release.  There are features left I still want to add but I think it’s a good time to cut a build at this point and get the stable 2.0 releases into everyones hands.  I have to leave something to put in version 3 right?
