Twitter for Windows Phone finally gets Metro UI, Live Tile support

Twitter for Windows Phone has just received a major update that revamps the look and feel of the app. The app not just looks like it was born in the sleek Metro UI that Windows Phone uses, but it also supports live tiles features with this new update.The new interface of the app still keeps the four-column look intact, carrying it forward from Twitter’s own apps from iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10 platforms. You can now swipe between Home, Mentions and Discover columns in addition to clicking on those extra-large icons on top. Twitter for Windows Phone with this refresh actually looks like it belongs to the Windows platform as compared to the previous version that was slightly under-designed compared to the micro-blogging site’s app for other platforms. That is not talking much about how the app previously looked, as one would say Twitter for iOS and Android and BlackBerry are not quite the best apps to tweet with. In fact, a lot of people prefer using third party apps to send out tweets on their smartphones.
