Twitter is becoming a more and more popular way for people to communicate with others. It is an easy way to stay in touch with friends and to learn about breaking news. Advancements in technology used in smart phones have made Twitter more accessible than ever before. Owners of Android smart phones have a wide range of applications that enhance the Twitter experience. While there are a lot of Twitter apps available on the Android market, these are the 5 best applications that can be downloaded using a mobile broadband connection.

Tweet Caster

Tweet Caster is a full twitter application that is available on the Android market for free. It is also the only Twitter app that features Facebook integration. All of the features found on the Twitter website are available with this app. It also has a nice feature that allows you to hide a tweet that you find disturbing or just do not like without having to stop following the person that made the tweet.

Twidroyd Pro

This Twitter app features all of the functionality that would be found on the Twitter website but it has one special feature that is not found anywhere else called Live Preview. Live Preview allows for you to preview any linked websites without having to go to them on the browser. This potentially saves time by not having to go to a linked website that you have no interest in. The full version of Twidroyd Pro will cost $4, but there is also a free version available.

Seesmic

Seesmic is the perfect app for people that want their mobile Twitter experience to be identical to the one found on the Twitter website. The display on the Seesmic is exactly the same as the full website, but it is also set up to handle multiple Twitter accounts. While this app does not feature anything exciting, it is a great basic Twitter app that can be downloaded for free.

Twicca

Twicca is an app that is designed for more experience Twitter users, so there may be a slight learning curve for someone with little experience using Twitter. The news feed on the Twicca app is designed to fit as much information on the screen as possible. This eliminates the need to scroll through multiple pages to read all of the recent tweets. A variety of options on the app are customizable to allow the user to get their ideal Twitter experience. Even with all of these features, Twicca is still available to download for free, but requires you to have a proper broadband connection to get the best results.

Plume

Plume is probably the Twitter app that makes tweeting the easiest to do. The home page off the app is very nice to look at and is customizable in just about every way possible. This Twitter app is available in a free version as well as one that costs $3. The free version will feature some ads, which can be rather annoying. The only way to get rid of the ads is to use another Twitter app or to pay the $3.
