It remains to be seen how Echofon for Mac will fare.Įchofon’s push notifications are only available with the Pro version, which costs $4.99 in the US App Store. Perhaps that’s the point of a web-browser add-on, but I don’t find it very useful. I’m unimpressed with the Firefox add-on, as it seems less usable than all other standalone Twitter apps I’ve used so far, such as Tweetie for Mac and Twirl. Most other Twitter push apps, such as my current favorite Boxcar, push an alert to my iPhone within a minute or two, sending an individual alert for each message with the sender’s name and preview of the message, which allows me to more effectively manage my responses.Įchofon now also syncs unread Twitter messages with their Firefox add-on, Echofon for Firefox (formerly called TwitterFox), and the yet-to-be-released application Echofon for Mac.

Echofon Pro (formerly TwitterFon Pro), the premium version of the popular iPhone Twitter client, was just recently updated to version 2.1, which among an odd name change, also introduces push notifications without the need for a third-party app (ie.
