The official Twitter app is now available in the app store.

Twitter Blog: Welcome Twitter for Windows 8

Yes, using it for a few minutes, comparing it with the Windows Phone 8 one...

In snapped mode, it actually looks the Windows Phone version. Liking it.

I can now remove the clutter from my People Hub :LOL:

No thank you. Lol.

Big win for MS & Windows 8. I also like how the store was instantly updated to highlight the new Twitter app... shows you just how aware Microsoft is of when the big apps get released

No need for MetroTwit and Snap mode is the big differentiator for this tablet vis a vis iPad.

Facebook and Pandora are the two other biggies remaining.

No thank you. Lol.

Follow me! :LOL:

Even though I Tweetro+, I'm liking the official one. Thanks Twitter for finally releasing a Windows 8 app. Hope others will follow.

I like my tweetro + better. F them for being late to the party.

Yes, they are late to the party, but at least they finally arrived and hopefully Twitter fanatics will stop complaining that Windows 8 does not have an official Twitter app.

I am a paying Tweetro+ user and the simple advantage of the official Twitter App is its speed. It is lean and mean. I do not like that it is missing autocomplete functionality for @mentions and it could use an autocorrect function but the program is simply fast on my RT. In snap mode it is not touched by another available program that I know of. For a 1st version, this app is a solid winner.

Follow me! :LOL:

And step on it. :excited:

I was really glad to see it released yesterday. It's basic but functional and quick. Not bad at all for a first release.

I would hesitate to call it basic. It certainly is not complete, however, it executes very well and very fast. I think it performs in snap mode better than any programs out there and its handling of embedded content and photos is certainly not basic. I am still using it and have not switched back to Tweetro+ yet. Oh and I like the commonality between it and its WP8 cousin.
