Tweeted Images In Realtime Now On The iPhone

Ever been attacked by a voyeuristic hankering to see what images are being tweeted right now while, say, waiting for a table at the local steakhouse? Well, whip out the iPhone, because Swiss developer Nicolas Seriot has the scratch for your itch.

TweetyShow does for tweeted photos what Chirp Flow did for text tweets: displays a stream of images being tweeted — in this instance, to Twitpic — in realtime. There are sites on the web like PingWire that do the same thing, but Seriot says this is a first on the iPhone.

The app sells for a buck, and also has the ability to search for photos tweeted by a specific user.

Seriot would be wrong then, unless I’m missing something in the descriptions. Peephole (an app that sounds way more carnal than it really is) does much of what they’re describing here. It searches by user, trending topic, nearby, etc.

Shane, I think the difference between the two is that TweetyShow works in realtime. With Peephole, one must refresh the screen in order to see new photos; with TweetyShow, a constant stream of images should appear on the screen as they’re tweeted.
