As a fan of Windows Phone, the post will cover best twitter clients for Windows Phone 7/8 users. This is not the first time we’ve covered dedicated twitter clients on our blog. In fact, on several occasions, like twitter Mac apps and Windows clients, we’ve covered twitter clients on this very blog.

Although, the current era is of Android and it’s shining at the top, but the craze for the Windows Phones, is not less. Microsoft is working hard to achieve the same spot for Windows Phone in the smartphones’ field, as it has in computers.

Now, the bar is set by Rowi. Whether you are die hard fan of Twitter or are just a beginner, this Twitter client is perfect for you. It offers you some subtle features that no other Twitter client does.

gleek! is yet another enticing twitter client for Windows Phone 7 and 8 users. For WP8 users, it has integrated voice control option, which allows you to quickly compose, reply and quote tweets with voice command. It rivals traditional player like Rowi. The usual options like timelines, mentions, search, friend list, messages, replies, @mentions functions are already available in this client.

There is also an optional light theme available for those who wants to try out something different. Inline support for images, videos and locations is just an ice topping cake.

Carbon had some of the notable gesture feature that earned it a crown of the notable twitter client, however, it is discontinued by the developer team. Gleek is the right candidate to fill the void created after the sad departure of Carbon app.
