The Idea
Carbon's not an app, but an experience that covers all of the Twitter in one-screen. That's all it is. In one case screen to give you admission to all of your Tweets and Timelines. From Timeline to Mentions & Straight Messages, to your Retweets and Saved Searches and even Lists, from Trends to Search & even Your own Profile. All on one Screen w/o drilling down and keeping on pressing back and taps.

WP7 Integration
We didn't want to exist simply another Twitter app on Windows Phone platform. Carbon is meant to work equally if it came with the telephone. Information technology was tough to practice that seeing Mango update sporting some Twitter goodies. Now, we had to beat that and that's when Compose Tile was born. One tap on Carbon'due south Compose Tile and you become to composing a Tweet, as opposed to Two Taps in your Me tile to Tweet. Live Tiles don't get only that far. We've implemented a Search tile as well. Say you follow a search term or a #hashtag? You lot can pin a #wp7dev tile on your dwelling house screen and with a tap on that tile you load the search.

Background updates, Toasts, and Notifications Live Tiles. All in that location. And if you are a user with multiple accounts that you lot handle, you're gonna' autumn in love with Carbon tiles! Cheque'em out!

QuickLine
To realize the admission to all of the Twitter all on one screen we've added a special Pin to the timelines on the habitation screen. Our swiss-army timeline "QuickLine". On QuickLine you can view all of the timelines from your ain Lists to Lists you Follow, Retweets, and even Saved Searches. All on onte Pivot for fast and easy access.

Timelines Icons
Tweets accept indicators of the content that they carry with them for ease of skimming through tweets. So, if a tweet has an epitome link included or a video, or it is geo-tagged or fifty-fifty if it's a reply to another tweet, we betoken it with special icon for each type.

Tweet Screen
Upon viewing a tweet we load all of its goodies in an HD style to show y'all high-res imagery w/o the need to tap on any buttons or thumbnail and show you previews of Youtube videos that you're about to view.
