 Hey guys, this is Tom Ronan with The Verge, and we're looking at the new Twitter client for Windows Phone 8. So Twitter has updated the UI to basically put it on parity with iOS and Android. You can see you can still swipe across between all the columns. It seems to refresh the columns a lot quicker than it used to, and you can swipe across all the columns like so. You've obviously got the profile column where you can access your direct messages, your tweets, photos, and lists, and you've got the Discover tab where Twitter highlights all the trending and who to follow, etc. In terms of what's new, if you go into the New Tweet section, if you go into the app and start trying to fill out a Twitter profile, it'll actually suggest something you can just simply swipe across. That's a change from the old version where you'd hit the at sign and start typing the person's name and have to remember what their username was. So it's kind of irritating previously. So another change is if we back out of this message here, this tweet, you'll actually get full draft support. So it'll actually notify you if you want to save it or discard it. You can obviously save and then go into the My Profile and then access your drafts in there. So another change in the Twitter application is you obviously get the toast on Windows Phone, but you actually get a lock screen notification now that you can set. So you can quickly, if your phone's off and you don't have the notification, you can quickly see how many tweets you've got waiting for you. And the settings section's been cleaned up. So you've obviously got the same multiple account functionality. You can add an account in there. And you've also got the ability to change the notifications. It's fairly granular control there. And Twitter's also added an option to switch accounts there. So it's a little bit easier to switch accounts if you're managing multiple accounts. So one thing that's actually missing that's available on the Android and iOS clients is photo filters. So if we add a photo and then add that into the tweet, it doesn't give you the option to apply a filter, which is obviously available on Apple's and Google's platform. So Twitter's still got a little way to go in terms of features to bring it on parity with the rest. So Twitter's really important for any sort of modern mobile ecosystem. So it's good to see that the Twitter guys have aligned the UI with Android and iOS. And hopefully this signals some further updates in the future at the same time that they come to Android and iOS too.
 Hey guys, this is Tom Ronan with The Verge, and we're looking at the new Twitter client
 for Windows Phone 8.
 So Twitter has updated the UI to basically put it on parity with iOS and Android.
 You can see you can still swipe across between all the columns.
 It seems to refresh the columns a lot quicker than it used to, and you can swipe across
 all the columns like so.
 You've obviously got the profile column where you can access your direct messages, your
 tweets, photos, and lists, and you've got the Discover tab where Twitter highlights
 all the trending and who to follow, etc.
 In terms of what's new, if you go into the New Tweet section, if you go into the app
 and start trying to fill out a Twitter profile, it'll actually suggest something you can
 just simply swipe across.
 That's a change from the old version where you'd hit the at sign and start typing the
 person's name and have to remember what their username was.
 So it's kind of irritating previously.
 So another change is if we back out of this message here, this tweet, you'll actually
 get full draft support.
 So it'll actually notify you if you want to save it or discard it.
 You can obviously save and then go into the My Profile and then access your drafts in
 there.
 So another change in the Twitter application is you obviously get the toast on Windows
 Phone, but you actually get a lock screen notification now that you can set.
 So you can quickly, if your phone's off and you don't have the notification, you can
 quickly see how many tweets you've got waiting for you.
 And the settings section's been cleaned up.
