The Twitter for Windows app has been released for Windows 8 and Windows RT devices through the Windows Store. It looks like Twitter understands that it has to strengthen its position across platforms if it doesn’t want its service offered through third party developers. Twitter for Windows brings you all the design, features and functionality of Twitter combined with the fast and fluid technology of Windows 8.You can download the app directly on your Windows 8 or Windows RT device through the Windows Store or by using the link which follows:

Twitter for Windows lets you:
- Get real-time stories, pictures, videos, conversations, ideas, and inspiration all in your timeline.
- Follow people and your interests to get unfiltered access and unique behind-the-scenes perspectives.
- Express yourself with photos, videos and comments.
Additionally;
- The Discover (#) icon shows you new topics from people in your network and other information like Trends and Who to Follow suggestions. But nowhere else can you scroll through Discover stories horizontally. Smoothly move through a collage of Tweets, pictures, links and article previews that make the most of your device.
- The Share charm makes it easier to tweet links, pictures and opinions to your followers from anywhere in Windows 8. Reading an article in Internet Explorer about Hawaii? Swipe in from the right edge of the device, tap the Share charm, add your comments in the Tweet and hit send.
- Create the ultimate screen with Snap view on Windows 8. Drag Twitter into the narrow side of the screen and slide in another favorite app. You can stream a live video while you watch the conversation about it unfold on Twitter. Then use the Share charm to join the discussion.
Hopefully Twitter will find better ways of making use of the large screen realestate instead of making it look like a stretched out version of their mobile apps.
