iPhone clients for Identi.ca

Zach Copley's picture

We're happy to see a nice application ecosystem steadily growing around Identi.ca, including a number of great Identi.ca clients for the iPhone (which also work with the iPod Touch). A frequently asked question on Identi.ca is, what Identi.ca clients are there for the iPhone? Here's a rundown of what's available.
Moconica Moconica has the distinction of being the very first iPhone client for Identi.ca. It's a web-based client designed to be used from the iPhone's web browser. In addition to Identi.ca, Moconica works with other Laconica-based microblogging services, such as The Twit Army, bleeper.de, or your own Laconica instance. You can subscribe to @moconica to follow development.
Royale With Cheese Another nice web-based solution. Royale With Cheese (RWC) also supports Twitter, allowing you to see all of your Identi.ca and Twitter updates in a single stream. Fun fact: RWC was written in Erlang. Follow the progress of RWC by subscribing to the author, @hydo (Clint Moore), and @rwctest.
LaTwit LaTwit was the first native iPhone app for Identi.ca, and is oriented toward the Laconica microblogging platform in general, although it also supports Twitter. Like Moconica, you can use LaTwit to connect to other Laconica-based microblogging sites. A nice feature is the ability to aggregate all of your notices from the various services into a single view. LaTwit has several other innovative features, including the ability to take advantage of Identi.ca's XMPP connectivity for faster timeline updates, and support for the IdentiSpy service, which provides real-time "tracking" of notices containing keywords you're interested in. Any time a notice is posted on Identi.ca with one of the keywords you specify, it will show up instantly in your timeline. LaTwit is available from the Apple App Store for $2.99 (USD). Follow development of LaTwit by subscribing to the author, @mac65 (Tom Blankenship).  App Store Link
Twittelator Pro Originally a Twitter client, hence the name, Twittelator Pro is now also a full-featured Identi.ca client for the iPhone. We worked closely with Stone Design to adapt as much functionality as possible to work with Identi.ca. Some of Twittelator Pro's interesting features include the ability to send images to Identi.ca via the photo sharing service Pikchur, notice search using the Tweetscan microblogging index, and optional location update courtesy of the iPhone's built-in GPS. Twittelator Pro is available on the Apple App Store for $4.99 (USD). To track what's going on with Twittelator Pro, subscribe to @twittelator. App Store link

Moconica can be used to access our department hosted microblog ?

Our department has a microblogging service based on Statusnet, I see that Moconica can be used to access any Laconica(statusnet) based microblogging service, but I am not able to logon to our department based microblogging service from Moconica, any clues as to how I should specify the server URL for our microblog, in the Moconica website ?
I appreciate your help !
