The world is all about sharing itself on Facebook and Twitter these days. Fortunately, your Evo is ready to help with sharing your life on the go. HTC FriendStream is an amazing piece of software that works with Facebook and Twitter to put all your news feeds into one simple to read interface.
The primary screen from FriendStream shows you your friend’s status updates, photo and video posts and links from both Facebook and Twitter. By pressing the second button, you will see only the status updates. The third menu item shows the photo and video links and the final menu selection shows only the links your friends have posted.
For the Twitter functions, HTC Peep takes center stage. Peep allows quick posting, URL shrinking and photo posting in seconds, right from your Evo.
The quick actions in Peep allow you to see your favorites, your mentions and messages all at the quick swipe of the lower menu. Press and hold a tweet for options that include sharing, retweeting, replying and more. Peep is an all in one access to your tweets and makes it very easy to keep in touch with your Twitter faithful.
The last piece that makes FriendStream and Peep so valuable on the Evo is the usage of Widgets. The FriendStream widget allows you to show both your Facebook and Twitter posts, or just one or the other. I use my FriendStream widget for Facebook only and use the Peep widget for Twitter updates. I can update both sites status from FriendStream though, just to make typing a one step process.
Overall, FriendStream and Twitter make social networking a breeze on the Evo. If you need a bit more flexibility like more than one Twitter account you can look at some of the other Twitter options like TweetCaster or Twitdroyd in the Market. For online sharing though, FriendStream is tough to beat. Just remember to watch how often you have your auto sync set to run as it can be detrimental to your battery life if you sync more than once an hour throughout the day.
