Twinkle is a location-aware network for the iPhone® and iPod Touch® that helps you discover, connect, and send messages to the public timeline and also to people nearby.

Features:

• geolocation to find “twinkers” in your area
• runs as stand-alone or along with Twitter
• upload and share photos

The Good:

Twinkle can run as a stand-alone app or in conjunction with Twitter (you can toggle Twitter on/off). The focus of Twinkle is the geolocation feature which allows users to see “twinks” from other users in their geographical area. Uploading photos is supported as well. All of the usual Twitter operations are also present.

The Not-so-Good:

Twinkle is a fine application, but if you are not interested in viewing tweets/twinks from people in your area, then it doesn’t really add anything to your Twitter experience.
