BeTwittered lives… 12

The blacklisting of BeTwittered by Twitter was lifted.  First and foremost, thanks to everyone who left encouraging messages.  I’m still amazed at how many people voiced their support. Also, I want to share the short story so everyone knows what happened.  I will post a follow up for anyone interested.  I think there may be ...

Twitter Service Issues, Still… 47

Twitter still appears to be having problems with their API. The API is the interface that programmers use to connect to Twitter. My apologies to everyone being frustrated by the issue. I am looking at possible band-aids, but don’t have high hopes. I think we’ll just be waiting this one out. This appears to have ...

Another BeTwittered update released. 7

I’ve released another update and added some more features.  I didn’t get everything done that I would have liked, but decided to let everyone benefit from the progress I’d already made. Some new features: A button to show/hide the dashboard area (the controls and text area) Better handling when the gadget is narrow.  That darned ...

BeTwittered updated, is it Version 2? 19

I’m not sure I want to call it version 2, that seems like a big burden to bear; and visually, BeTwittered may not appear much different.  There are several new features, though, like: Newly configurable refresh rates Configurable font sizes New pop-up dialogs (thanks Stan, for jGrowl!) New timelines: your personal archive and the public ...

Identica and TWiT Army Canteen clients 3

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 ...

Identi.ca From BeTwittered – New Beta Gadget Available 10

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 ...

BeTwittered Gets Tabs For Replies, Favorites, and Direct Msgs 9

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 ...

BeTwittered Has New Features. Finally! 15

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 ...

Rough Week for BeTwittered And Twitter 12

First off, I want to apologize for the blank gadgets, slow responses, and general bad week.  Sorry! I moved BeTwittered to a faster server just in time for Twitter to start having it’s own bad week of daily outages. I’ve been busy tuning the new server and BeTwittered in my free time hoping to alleviate ...

New BeTwittered Feature Requests? 19

Scott (http://twitter.com/nintender) and I are working on the next update of BeTwittered.  A couple of the features we’re working on are allowing multiple account logons, and context menus that will include things like “reply” and “direct message” selections.  Is there anything that you’ve been wishing BeTwittered could do?  Something we could create and help to ...
