It started out as an experiment to bring the most popular Ruby on Rails application to Apple’s iPhone. Released just days after the iPhone hit the market, and with positive reviews from Apple, CNET, and Laughing Squid, Logpost has grown into one of the best web-based Twitter clients for any mobile phone. It is a great way to see what everyone is doing between blog posts, chats, and email.
