How about an Android app nurtured by Twitter itself that not only looks awesome but works awesome! Yes, after much anticipation, Twitter Blog announced the official Twitter app for Android.

The app looks better than most of the Twitter apps currently available for Android. The main advantage of using the official app is probably the seamless integration with the platform.

Some nice features of Twitter for Android are:

• Home screen widget lets you quickly access Twitter timeline. Reading tweets is much easy no matter on which screen you are.
• Contacts Integration – You can see your friends’ tweets right in your phonebook, GoogleTalk list (or any application that uses Android’s QuickContact bar).
• Sharing made super easy – A new option ‘Twitter’ gets added to the share menu of any application so that you can share content to Twitter in a few taps.
