TwitterFon is now Echofon, which we first assumed was to avoid copyright issues, once again just like NibiruTech, although the developers have stated that it was merely a way to unify the names of their products."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1253036459.usr105634.jpg" /></em></p><p>Their other product is called Echofon also, or more correctly <a href="http://echofon.com/twitter/firefox/" target="_blank">Echofon for Firefox</a>. I like the Twitterfon name personally, and to me it seems better since the name identifies with what the app does. Oh well, I'm not a marketer. This new version will also push @ replies and direct messages to you, if you have the paid version. The free ad supported version will eventually get the push notifications, but no timeline set for that. This version will also sync with the Echofon for Firefox extension so you won't have to reread tweets if you are using both. The paid version is $4.99 USD. </p>
