TwitChat, a new application for iOS devices allows Twitter users to make instant and long conversations than just letting them post tweets. Currently, the only possible way to communicate privately on twitter is via the Direct Message (DM) feature, which unfortunately is limited to 140 characters per tweet thus preventing users from having easy and effective conversations. With TwitChat for Twitter, iPhone users can now easily Chat privately and instantly with their twitter followers and friends, just as they do in any IM client like gtalk or Yahoo Messenger!

TwitChat is a 3rd party instant messaging app, Free for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It’s a fun and easy way to interact with your Twitter followers privately, or have group conversations with your friends! To start a conversation, simply login with your Twitter account to instantly view all your Twitter friends and connect privately. Moreover, you can View profiles, Compose Tweets, Mention friends, Block users. etc.

Major Features include:

• Automatic Friends List
• Private Instant Messaging
• Group Chat
• Public Hashtag Chat
• Send Files, Audio, Video
• Login using your Twitter Credentials
• Manage alert and sound settings

The chat feature is certainly a prominent one that Twitter should integrate to their web interface and mobile app, so users can have spontaneous conversations. The TwitChat team is working hard to add new features and support for other platforms.

Google+ has evolved a lot in a short time but apparently it is far behind the popularity and user base as that of Facebook and Twitter. Google+ recently introduced the much awaited ‘Pages’ for brands and businesses, so that anyone can connect virtually with their favorite brands or companies. The official Gmail page on Google Plus recently made a post notifying users about the unknown Chat emoticons in Google+ chat.

There are over 15 funny emoticons that you can use while chatting to smartly express your humour, joy, love or angriness. The best and cool one is the emoticon of the very popular Nyan Cat, pinned with a cute animation. Some of the emoticons like Nyan cat, moustache, cat and bumblebee will show up perfectly in Google+ chat box only, while the rest ones appear fine in Gmail chat. Check the list below:

~=[,,_,,]:3 (Nyan Cat)
