Twitter for iOS 4.3 gets early teases from Twitter itself and the App Store, promises gobs of in-tweet content

[![Twitter for iOS 43 gets early teases from Twitter itself and the App Store, promises gobs of intweet content][1] ][2]

Twitter has been making a push for [expanded tweets in mobile][3], and there's now some very strong indications that its native apps' tweets will get extra-stuffed in the near future. Some skulking around the future App Store layout from _9to5 Mac_ reader Sonny Dickson has shown an as yet unreleased [Twitter][4] 4.3 release carrying "more interactive experiences" for links within certain posts -- in other words, expect a multimedia extravaganza if a friend really digs that _New York Times_ article. Notifications should also get a much-needed refinement through an end to overly aggressive alerts in-app while bringing in selective, by-user notifications to find out when Mark Zuckerberg finally [posts again][5]. While Twitter has stayed mostly hush-hush on the update, the company's own corporate development VP Kevin Thau couldn't contain himself: his attempt to one-up Facebook this weekend showed a slightly redesigned iOS app that most certainly isn't sitting on our own devices. Controversies from _The Next Web_ over the update's identification of third-party apps notwithstanding -- we don't know if it's intentional -- all signs point to Twitter on iOS (and no doubt Android) getting a tune-up before long.
