    This is awesome! I’m happy to see Twitter continue evolve and grow the platform. I wish they had entered this realm a little earlier as I read something that 85% of twitter users are doing so via a smartphone, so there is definitely some opportunity. This will definitely rise up as one of the most popular Android apps out there. Thanks for the barcode.
