Twitter Apps that don't force feed you advertising.

The official Twitter app for iPhone is fantastic! Or, well, was was fantastic until Twitter shoved all those promoted tweets into the top of your timeline. If you've been so annoyed with the d*ckbar that you want to ditch the official Twitter app, here are three of the best non-Twitter Twitter apps available for the iPhone.

1. Tweetdeck: Tweetdeck's infamous column-based layout stays true in their iPhone app. And because those columns that can be rejiggered to show any feed, Tweetdeck is the best app to use if you juggle multiple accounts. Hell, it even throws in Facebook support! The "compose-a-tweet" screen offers a ton of options from hashtags to contacts to photos to landscape mode and more. One thing though, Tweetdeck isn't updated for the iPhone 4's Retina Display which can sometimes make you want to rip your eyeballs out.

2.Twitbird: Twitbird offers the best compromise between a simple layout and deep features. The layout is easy-to-read (no ads in stream!) with your timeline being transformed into chat bubble-esque updates. You can even throw in custom backgrounds, if that's your thing. The tweet screen has a ton of "hidden" options which you can either ignore if you don't need them or pull out from under the keyboard to use. The only problem? It's just a tad bit slower than the other apps

3.Hootsuite: What's great about Hootsuite is that its feature set is pretty unique. It has everything the other apps have plus the ability to schedule tweets, see stats on who's clicking your links and see what all those trending topics mean. Supports Facebook and Foursquare too.
