Filed under: App StoreTwitter founder Evan Williams has posted on the official blog that the company will be buying Tweetie, an iPhone app currently available in the App Store, from creator Loren Brichter. The app will be renamed Twitter for iPhone and released in the App Store for free. Williams says that Twitter users have looked for an official app in the store and haven't found one, so he says that they hope to solve that problem by providing an official App Store location for Twitter.
Brichter will be joining the Twitter team, and he'll be working with them to eventually provide a Twitter for iPad app as well. More information
