GeekWire’s app of the week promises “a completely new way to experience Twitter.”

The description for the Slices for Twitter app says it solves some of the biggest frustrations folks have when using the social network.

Todd Bishop, with GeekWire, says if he were just starting out on Twitter he would definitely use this app.

“It slices things up into different topics so it looks at your followers for example and says, here’s the people who are most likely tweeting about sports, here’s the ones who are tweeting about business.”

The app’s iTunes description gives users the ability to sort their followers into more manageable streams. It also allows users to bookmark favorite accounts and keep up more easily with live event streams.

“Only Slices has Live Event streams, finally making it easy to follow live events on Twitter. Each stream displays a feed of tweets from the “right” people for today’s events, like sports, TV shows, and other happenings,” says the app description.

The service also has a web-based product that is auto-synched with the Slice for Twitter configurations on your phone, so your mobile and computer accounts stay in line.
