More likely, it seems like this might be a move to avoid any kind of legal problems with Twitter. Naan Studios apparently wanted to unify the names of the products, but why not simply change TwitterFox to TwitterFon? The company says it got feedback and went with the “Echo” name, but both apps still are based around Twitter, so unless they’re planning to move off of (or go beyond) that platform, it just seems like it will confuse users to remove the “Twitter” part of the name. The reasoning behind the change is a little odd. But today, both are changing their name, to Echofon. Both have been downloaded over a million times, and both apparently have over 200,000 daily active users. The app saw success, as did its sister application, TwitterFox, a plug-in for Firefox. One of the first really great Twitter iPhone apps was TwitterFon, created by Naan Studio.
