HootSuite’s iPhone App Souped-Up With A Translator, Bump-To-Follow, More

Eli Milchman ()

When HootSuite’s iPhone app landed late last year, it had already set itself apart with a unique stat-tracking feature.

Now, it’s leapt even further away from the pack with a slew of new tricks, including the ability to translate tweets from 50 different languages and a supercool feature that lets users bump the iPhone of users they’d like to follow. The developers have also upgraded HootSuite’s Facebook integration, given it geolocation functionality and generally tweaked the hell out of it.

The video above has evidently been shoved through a simplification transmogrifier a few times too many, but I’ve included it because owls in stereotypically French costume are remarkably entertaining.
