TweetDeck for iPhone hits v1.3, lists and geo-tagging support added

TweetDeck for iPhone v1.3The popular TweetDeck free app for Apple iPhone and iPod touch users has been updated to v1.3, and introduces support for Twitter Lists and geo-tagging.

Tweetdeck lets users create groups, search Twitter, manage multiple accounts, and post tweets or share photos, videos, links and more via a customisable interface, which automatically syncs with its desktop counterpart.

It’s our current choice of Twitter client for iPhones, although the interface can seem a bit bewildering and searching is unnecessarily fiddly. Why can’t they sort out a simple search box?

Tweets can now automatically be geo-tagged with the current location using the iPhone’s GPS, and there’s an inline map available showing the location of tweets.

The  ‘View on Map’ feature lets you view all geo-coded tweets from a selected column and plots them on a map, with the option to zoom in and check out the exact location of your Twitterin’ chums.

v1.3 update details:

  • Geo-tagging of tweets
  • Tweet detail shows map for geo-coded tweets
  • View all geo-coded tweets from a column on a map
  • New-style Retweets displayed in stream, showing originator and retweeter name
  • Send new-style or old-style retweets, save your preference & easily change on a per-tweet basis
  • Add columns for Twitter Lists
  • Numerous bug fixes, including Facebook UID issue
