As a software developer, one of the areas I’m passionate about is carefully considered user interface design. Using software which places an emphasis on the actual user experience is truly enjoyable, so from time to time I’ll try to share an example of this on the blog.

My most recent iPhone app purchase was Tweetie (iTunes link); a terrific Twitter client. I won’t go into all the reasons it is the best iPhone Twitter client you can use (there are many), but I wanted to highlight an example of its well thought out interface.

The developer has a posting on his blog about button placement choice, and why it’s a good idea to keep application buttons as far from the keyboard as possible.

And if you use iPhone + Twitter, and haven’t already given Tweetie a try, I highly recommend it. At the current price of only $2.99, it’s a steal.
