Twitterrific for iOS adds facial recognition for framing images, quote tweet notifications, more
Facial recognition isn’t something you immediately consider when you think of a Twitter client, but Twitterrific has added the technology in a clever way to its latest update for iOS. Using Apple’s API for picking out faces in a scene (you probably see this in action the most in the Camera app), Twitterrific now enhances rich media previews by centering images around people rather than cropping around the center. You can see a before and after comparison above showing the new feature in action.

Twitterrific 5 updated with streaming support, list management, more
The Iconfactory released a significant update to Twitterrific 5 today bringing support for a highly requested feature: streaming.
Just like Twitter for Mac and Tweetbot for Mac and iOS, Twitterrific will now present new tweets to you as they’re loaded alleviating the need to pull-to-refresh when you’re caught up on your timeline. You will need to enable it in the settings for it to work, and it requires WiFi of course.
The update also features a number of other improvements including list management.
