Twitter has just released a new Twitter app for Windows 8 that will make it easier to share and discover the content you love most on Windows 8 devices. Twitter is a great place to get breaking news, updates on local and global events, inspiration and to follow fascinating people. Twitter lets you share moments by expressing your views and ideas with rich media like photos, videos and commentary. In addition to traditional Twitter features you may be familiar with already like Home, Connect, Discover, and Me tabs, this app release adds new functionality that takes advantage of the unique features offered by Windows 8.
Snap View
This feature lets you use another app alongside Twitter by snapping it to the left or right side of the screen. You can now keep up your Twitter feed and conversation in real-time while watching a streaming video or reading a story in another window alongside Twitter. With snap view, you can adjust the window size of the app to 33%, 66% or full screen width.
Photos
Photos are now large and center with an all-new landscape view. Not only can you see larger versions of photos, you can also swipe horizontally to browse through multiple photos in the Discover tab of a user's profile.
Share charm
You can tweet from any app at anytime now. By simply swiping from the right edge of Windows 8 a share charm becomes available to share content on Twitter from given app including photos or news articles.
Search charm
Windows 8 also provides a Search charm that makes it really easy to find other accounts or see Tweets using a specific hashtag.
Live Tiles and notifications
Windows 8 also makes sure you don't miss a beat on Twitter. You can keep up with what's happening via Twitter live tiles and notifications that show up regardless of what app you're currently using.
Twitter for Windows 8 is now available in the Windows Store in 22 languages.
