TwitterSearch will let you set a search term, and it will update every 60 seconds to let you know what is going on in the Twitter universe. You can simply put in a search word or term, or be a little more tricky. Try setting one of these as your search: “#hashtag” to track a [...]

There are now Beta versions of BeTwittered that connect to Identica and the TWiT Army Canteen. They are definitely both BETA, and I’ve started on a new client that will support multiple servers, so only one client will be needed. For now, here are the links to the beta’s specific gadgets: TWiT Army Canteen Identica [...]
I made a blog post over on http://robert.arlesnet.com, and Evan of Identi.ca pointed out to me that I did not link to the new beta version of BeTwittered. This beta version connects to Identi.ca rather than Twitter.com. I’ve checked the google directory this morning, and they have still not published it yet, so it’s still [...]
How did I forget to post about this? I’m a bit of a flaky geek sometimes. BeTwittered features now include tabs for viewing replies, your favorites, and direct messages to you. Admittedly, the tabs are rudimentary right now, but they work. Sometimes I chose to release features and do the “prettying up” incrementally. I favor [...]
It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve gotten plenty of email requesting the new features that have finally made their way into BeTwittered. Most notable are the reply and direct message functions. The interface also got a bit of an upgrade with nice icons/buttons, and now by clicking the “Show More” button on a [...]

It may be the last before some more significant changes. I have some ideas that I want to incorporate that would mean a [...]
This morning, a new version of BeTwittered went live. Because it’s web based the update is automatic, so if you already use BeTwittered, you’ll just get the updates. For most people, the obvious change will be the addition of time-stamps. If you don’t like having them, you can turn them off in the “settings” – [...]
Last night, some updates went into the released version of BeTwittered. Two features are added. The first is that replies and any other “@username” reference is now highlighted, and clickable. Clicking an @username reference will now take you directly to that persons Twitter home page. Also, there is now a settings page. Click on settings, and [...]
I am really happy with my progress with the Google Gadget / Widget I’ve put together for Twitter. Today I decided to rewrite the app, incorporating some of the best pieces. What I did was re-implement the Twitter “friends time-line” in AJAX and modularize as much as I could so that it would be a [...]
I’ve created another Google gadget for the iGoogle homepage. This one is for Twitter. Twitter is an interesting service, follow the link and check it out! I was not satisfied with any of the Twitter gadgets already on google, and there weren’t many. Of the few that were there, a good number of them did [...]
