There are so many Twitter apps out there and I'm having a hard time picking one. I used to use the "official" app but it seems to have lots of issues, it likes to give me a black screen if I open it more than 3 times without rebooting, so I'm in the market for another! I don't want anything too heavy, I primarily just read my feed and post tweets. I only have 1 account so multiple account support isn't a requirement.
What do you guys use?

Plume is excellent. There is a paid version also which I use.
I'd go with Plume, Tweetcaster or UberSocial (what was called Twidroyd).
We did a two part Guide on all the best Twitter apps here:

you should try twicca .. hands down the best
TWICCA
I can't believe nobody has mentioned tweetdeck!
It's the best for me (plus you can add a Facebook account)

i used to use tweetdeck before twicca ... but i just like twicca better. the one thing i did like about tweetdeck though that you cant do on the other clients is being able to RT people with protected tweets
Hey guys,
So I really hate stock bookmarks that can't be deleted. It's my phone, and as helpful as Motorola and their advertising agreements might be to some, I don't particularly care for enforced links to Amazon and eBay and the BBC, et cetera.
From my experience with the Vibrant, I knew the 'undeletable' bookmarks could be removed through one of Samaung's desktop management suites, and figured it'd only be a matter of time until I found an app that was sneakily coded and worked around whatever poorly implemented measures Moto use to stop you deleting the bloatmarks in the normal fashion.
That app is ssLauncher, a new (and rather interesting) home replacement on the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ss.launcher
Now, even if it isn't your cup of tea, it isn't as if you have to keep it installed. Just download it from the market, add a 'bookmarks' panel, and long-press to delete the bookmarks you don't want. Bye-bye bloat.
There will be other ways, but this was the first I stumbled across. Hope it helps someone else out.

You can also download Bookmarks SB from the market and delete them through there. That usually works for me.
So I'm going to step away from the Support My Moto Campaign for a little bit and get some deving done. Seeing that on November 1st 2012 the Google home page service iGoogle will be discontinued I'd like to know how many Ubuntop & Webtop+ users use that service. Of those that use it how many have an alternative to move to and how many really do rely on it? I may be able to set up a basic home page replacement with some of the most commonly used widgets but want to hear from you first.
I used iGoogle for a while but abandoned it once I fell in love with RSS and Google Reader. I can live with it being gone, I don't actually use a homepage in any web browser anymore.

This. I use an rss reader on my phone. Anytime I'm using a computer I don't have a homepage set except for the Firefox default Google search page.

I dumped my "my yahoo" page for igoogle.... Just might have to go back and freshen it up.
Hi All!
As it says in the title, can someone recommend a good note taking application that has a desktop application?
I've read a bit about the topic and Evernote comes to mind. However, it's not free. Thanks in advance.
Bumping this to the first page. :angel:
AFAIK, Evernote is free with additional features added in a premium subscription. If you are looking to something completely free and lightweight, try Google Keep, it provides web access and also Chrome extension.

Yes, Evernote is indeed free up to a certain point but 60MB, even for full text notes, isn't sufficient.
I tried migrating my notes to Keep right now and I think this might actually work. I've read about it in the past but it didn't appeal to me because of the lack of an actual desktop client (I never used Chrome Apps before). Thanks for suggesting it!
Pros:
1. Very clean interface
2. Offline note taking and viewing in both the Chrome Application (More on this later) and the mobile client.
3. All features are free!
4. Sync seems to work flawlessly
Cons:
1.Chrome Application means I have to sign in to Chrome and disable all syncing except for Apps as I don't like syncing my data onto Google.
2. Chrome Application is preventing me from maximizing notes as I edit them. I have wall-of-text type of notes and this really hurts my eyes. I suppose this can be remedied by changing my note taking habits.
3. I can't re-order my notes. They are shown in ascending order by date created?
All in all I think I can make this work. I just need to re-arrange my notes for this specific application. If anyone else has any input or can show me how to relieve myself of the OCD inducing annoyances I've found so far, please chime in
I haven't really used Google keep yet (already a long time user of evernote) but have you looked into one note by Microsoft? It has a free version. Lifehacker.com just did an in depth comparison of evernote and one note. Might be worth looking in to.

Seconding the Microsoft OneNote suggestion. There's a free version for Windows now and AFAIK it also works with their Android app

Yes, I recently saw that article. But this completely shut down the idea for me. Apparently, I'm only able to use this in the paid version:
Create notebooks on your PC. Create notebooks saved to your hard drive (offline) in addition to being saved to your OneDrive. Being able to work with notebooks offline as well as online is great for anyone with a spotty network connection or those who are always on the go.

But, I'm not so sure I understand what it means. Basically, I need to be able to access my notes offline (I don't have a mobile data plan) and once online, be able to sync them again. Since you folks seem to have experience using it, can you tell me how it works?
Honestly, I was able to see the UI of OneNote and it seemed a lot more appealing to me.
I tried out one note briefly awhile ago and it should do what you want. The paragraph you quoted seems to say the same. The notes are saved offline and they sync with your one drive account.

The paragraph I quoted is specifically under the "What do I get in the premium version of this application" section. However, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll download it now and see how it functions. Will let you guys know. Thanks for the advice!:good:

Might be a little late here, but still - Google Keep has web access from any browser, try keep.google.com. Cheers.

Accessing it from there has the same exact interface as the Keep Chrome Application. Thanks for the suggestion though
I still wasn't able to find the time to test out the free version of OneNote. Been a bit busy today. I suppose I could take a note that I should test OneNote in Google Keep which I'm currently using
I'll make a short review once I'm done doing just that.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Edit - It seems I haven't found the time to review OneNote. In addition, Keep serves me very well. The only real caveat I have with it is the inability to reorder my notes.
Edit 2- It seems my brain is tired and after a week with no suggestions from other users, I've finally figured out how to move notes around.
One simply needs to click and drag the notes around. < How I didn't figure this one out seems baffling to me. I need to exercise my brain more :'(
For Mobile Devices with Android v4+
I myself have tried over 50 apps for backing up Bookmarks and yet to bump into a great or even a good one
that does what its intended to do without screwing up other things..
People right now are screaming for a great Bookmarks App that lets them sync to all their chrome browsers,
as well as be able to back up all their bookmarks into a nice small package file that they can have it auto upload to
a cloud storage of their choice such as for example Google Drive..
And in order for it to be deleted it would require the user to input their password for that file 3 times..
making sure thats the file the user wants to delete.
Bookmarks are extremely important to people. And the last thing they need is having their mobile devices break,
and not being able to have a backup to their bookmarks.
I lately as of 05-25-2016 have seen so many junk app's that claim something and does not do what they claim to do.
either the app is for very older Android OSs or Devices or, their services are broken because no one maintains it anymore.
or the app has not been updated since 2002.....
Google company really needs to create a really nice Bookmarks app because people right now are in need of it.
Someone please create a 2016 Bookmarks APP with great UI Design for mobile phone & devices.......
