      <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.readwriteweb.com/images/iphone.png" width="146" height="149" border="0" />The <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/apples_iphone_app_store_launch.php">iPhone App Store is here</a> and if you have an iPhone like <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/iphone_3g_in_the_flesh.php">most of us</a> at ReadWriteWeb, the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/appstore/">App Store</a> is the one place you'll probably be for the majority of the weekend. There are a ton of great social network apps available in the iPhone's App Store. From to Twitter to Facebook we've got quite the list to keep you connected to your friends with your iPhone.</p>]]>
      <![CDATA[<h2>Apps Galore</h2>

<p><a href="http://iconfactory.com/software/twitterrific">Twitterrific</a> [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284540316&amp;mt=8">iTunes</a>]</p>

<p>As one of the Gods of Twitter applications on the desktop, Twitterrific is a must have for the iPhone. Twitterrific brings an elegant and stylish interface to the table with almost every feature imaginable for using Twitter. My only quirk with this app is that it doesn't have a navigation menu for me to easily go through my tweets and it comes with ads. You can easily get rid of the ads by purchasing the premium version of Twitterrific.</p>

<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2661593310_23bf75fc66_o.png" width="321" height="483" border="0" /></p>

<p><a href="http://www.stone.com/iPhone/Twittelator/">Twittelator</a> [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284698706&amp;mt=8">iTunes</a>]</p>

<p>Attempting to bring something a little different to the table, Twittelator is not just another Twitter app in the App Store. With a nice user interface that's similar to Twhirl, this is my official Twitter app. It offers some useful features that Twitterrific does not and makes replying to users and keeping track of tweets a ton easier.</p>

<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2661586536_109209a44c_o.png" width="320" height="481" border="0" /></p>

<p>Facebook [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284882215&mt=8">iTunes</a>]</p>

<p>The Facebook iPhone apps is more of a replica for the the Facebook site optimized for the iPhone more than anything else. There isn't that's new with this application except for the integrated Facebook Chat and avatars. However to get the most out of Facebook on your iphone, you'd be better off just going to the site in Safari. At least you can post on people's walls there.</p>

<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2660794725_d3455a795e_o.png" width="318" height="462" border="0" /></p>

<p>Myspace Mobile [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284792653&mt=8">iTunes</a>]</p>

<p>There are plenty of reasons to get the Myspace app for the iPhone if you're a Myspace user. However, the best reason is because the user interface looks a ton better. With a full feature set and plenty to do, I'd pick the Myspace app over the Facebook app if I actually had a Myspace account. </p>

<p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3129/2660911945_771f9240f3_o.png" width="320" height="460" border="0" /></p>

<p>Exposure [<a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284919489&mt=8">iTunes</a>]</p>

<p>Need to have your daily dosage of Flickr goodness? While there isn't an official release of an iPhone app from Flickr, Exposure picks up the slack with ease. Explore featured photos, your images and those of your friends. Leave comments or share images on Twitter, Safari, and tons more. You won't miss a beat on Flickr with Exposure.</p>

<h2>Bonus Tips</h2>

<p>To get <a href="http://friendfeed.com">FriendFeed </a>on your iPhone, head to <a href="http://friendfeed.com/iphone">FriendFeed.com/iphone</a> to view the mobile version of FriendFeed optimized for the iPhone. Select the plus sign to add FriendFeed to your homescreen. FriendFeed should now have its own icon on your homescreen so that you can tune in anytime you'd like. You can also apply this same trick to the <a href="http://digg.com/iphone">Digg site optimized for the iPhone</a>. </p>

<p>So what are some of your favorite social network apps for the iPhone? Did we miss any? Be sure to leave us a note and show developers of these awesome applications your love and support in our comments section.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I think that the iPhone is doing revolutionary stuff here.  I am excited to see what the iPhone comes out wth next and what other brands do, and if they will soon follow suit.  It is interesting to catch up on a status while your in the car, at the office, eating lunch, or even in the middle of a park. Kudos iPhone.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Nice round up of the first round of social apps. It would be helpful if you included their costs in your post.</p>

<p>After using Twhirl for a while now, I find Twitterrific just okay. Can't put my finger on why. I'll check out your Twittelator app later today.</p>

<p>Also, thanks for the handy FriendFeed tip!</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Regarding the Facebook iPhone app:  It annoyingly doesn't have support for inline comments (or ANY comments really), but what it does have is a really nice contact page that you can drop directly into your phone list.</p>

<p>If you rely heavily on Facebook to find IM addresses, email addresses and phone numbers of your friends, this is the number one reason to install this free app.  Oh, and being able to update your status from your phone is nice too.</p>]]>
