Don't know about Tweetie, because I've not tried it. I have, however, had an app called "Twitter Trend" on my iPhone for several weeks now, and it displays, you guessed it, Twitter trends. And it's free.

Don't get too excited, though. Not only have I never seen the F word on it (although I must confess that I don't look at the app very often), not even the A word, but if you're looking for something interesting, you're going to be sadly disappointed. As i write, these are the top few entries on the "Hot" list:

American Idol

app store

Blogs Losing Chris Brown

full moon

Happy Holi (sic)

iPhone app

iPod Touch

Jimmy Fallon

Jon Stewart

Mind-boggling stuff, I'm sure. And it doesn't get any better, believe me.

Fuck that.

Hey, Apple are right! It *does* cause obscene language.....

is mildly obscene, but the "Apple Dictionary" definition of iPod is saucy.

pod 1 |päd|

noun

1 an elongated seed vessel of a leguminous plant such as the pea(nis), splitting (something or someone) open on both sides when ripe.

But that is a relief me kids won't be allowed to browse smut using Safari.

/mine's the bracketty one.

Well yes, considering the amount of cash that flows through the 'kinks'. The coat, because this isn't polite conversation.

"must not contain any obscene..."

It's doesn't contain the profanity, it just provides access to a site that displays them.

Not that I have an iPhone or use Twiiter, but it's a really bad idea to have a company censoring software for their devices. Can you imagine the outcry if Dell / Microsoft said that you're not allowed to install Firefox or OpenOffice. And some people think Apple is a cool company even though it behaves like this.

Come on Apple lovers, try defending that accusation.
