What about adding identica support ?

Can I be honest here ? I use identica and have bought Latwit which satisfies all my needs for just £1.79.

Confession time: I have one friend who loves Tweetie and would like to see it available for identi.ca but I can't even promise he would shell out.

I don't know about yfrog, but Mobypic does not rely on Twitter credentials, does it? I am not going to pretend that I know how it works. But I'd guess you can disable the incompatible service depending on the account "type"?
Tweetie is a great app, and I am *not* saying that just to suck up. If you'd consider adding support to other services, It would not cost you any customers, but it would gain you new ones. Don't you think?

A Tweetie that supported laconi.ca/identi.ca is a Tweetie folks like Leo Laporte with his army.twit.tv could get behind! ;)

It's not that you'd remove the Twitter support! :)
identi.ca being a free platform does not mean that all of their users live only on open-source and free-as-in-beer applications/services. I'd imagine there is a significant number of potential Tweetie customers inside identi.ca. Especially that it is practically an untapped market for iPhone native clients (forget LaTwit, it's.....).
There's also people who run Laconica on their own servers for themselves and their "followers" (Like, as edythemighty pointed out, Leo Laporte for example).
Then again, I did not study the "market". And I am not guaranteeing the it's going to worth it, I am just saying that I think you underestimate the potential

Fair enough.
I sure hope no new popularity enhancer are in that list! :P

I'm bugging you now. I just started my indenti.ca account today and won't be going back to twitter full-time I don't think. Of course, I'm an open-source loving anarchist as well :D

I've heard great things about tweetie (sorry for now I use twitterfon) but I for one would go ahead and purchase your app if you added the support. And besides, getting Leo Laporte to mention you a few times on twit couldn't be bad for sales!

I'd really like identi.ca support, and I've got at least 6 coworkers who use identi.ca a lot and have iPhones.

I'm seeing an increasing number of people transitioning from twitter to identi.ca. If tweetie could integrate with that service (and ditto for the macosx version, which would thus give it an edge over the competition (nambu etc) I could ditch my alternative clients and stick to a single platform.

I bought Tweetie because it looked like the best Twitter client. For me it is. It does everything I need without getting in my way. Now more and more people around me are switching to laconi.ca. I consider the switch, too. I would love to continue using tweetie instead of writing off the money and buying twittelator.

@ashponders @atebits I'm a developer working on Laconica. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get Tweetie working with Identi.ca/Laconica.

Identi.ca has ~ 50K users, but if you include the entire OpenMicroBlogging network, the user base is much larger and includes big sites like bleeper.de and army.twit.tv.

I want to buy Tweetie. It's really sexy, but I can't justify paying for it if I have to run another application to follow my identi.ca chums. Look at gwibber for an example of how to support both (I know you have more features, but they do what they do well)

the really powerful thing is the coming status.net from identica/laconica ... my company uses a private install of laconica for internal project management; status.net is going to allow anyone -- a company, an online community etc -- to have their own "twitter," which changes the game I think.

I've paid for tweetie, but still need an identica compatible client ... so add my voice to the supporters.

Sorry, without Identica-support Tweety is useless for me.

I almost hit the buy button. But then I read the feature list again and I saw there is no Laconica support. Yes, I am currently using Twitter, but I'm planning to switch. I payed for the crappy LaTwit just because it had Laconica support, but its horrible UI is unbearable, so I'm sticking with TwitterFon and Twitter for now.

LaTwit, Nambu or Twittelator are not enough. Tweetie is the best Twitter client out there, and when it will support identi.ca/Laconica, it will be the best for it too. Please do it quickly.

My employer runs Laconica on a server for internal use. I would love it if Tweetie supported it. (And then one could also use it with http://identi.ca/.

Add Laconica support.

I'd pay for Tweetie too if it supports Laconi.ca. Right now the only thing that also keeps me from switching from Twitterrifc to Tweetie is a missing slim down view and (don't laugh) the chirping sound :)

The best alternative to Tweetie on the iPhone would most likely be LaTwit. Between the two, I much prefer Tweetie, however unfortunately, it does not support identi.ca. LaTwit does so using the identi.ca API, and I'm sure Tweetie would very much benefit from supporting it as well!

Support for identi.ca.

I think it's been said before, but I'll say it again: we really love Tweetie, we're excited by Tweetie's active and passionate user community, and we'd love to see the client support Identi.ca and other Laconica sites.

Many clients have been able to get working versions of their software with only a few lines of code change. We have a very compatible API that makes supporting both systems easy.

Let's make this happen!

+1 for this.. would be great both for identi.ca and managing private laconi.ca installs (particularly for project management, team communication, NPOs, student groups, etc.)

I'd like to see Identi.ca support but it is very low on my Tweetie wishlist.

I use both Twitter and Yammer (for work) and it would be awesome to have Tweetie able to support Yammer as well, I understand the API is 90% the same than Twitter, so it should not be a big effort but tremendously rewarding for Yammer users!

Make Tweetie work with Yammer as well.

I bought tweetie for iphone, and using the desktop app - with ads. The Moment laconica/identica support is added, you have my 20 bucks.

Please support other micro-blog service based on status.net (laconi.ca)

e.g. : identi.ca

Please support other micro-blog service.

identi.ca has twitter API support so code changes and testing is minimal!

Looking at the features of v2.0 I see "Specify custom API roots on a per-account basis" With status.net having a twitter-compatible api does that mean tweetie now has (unofficial) support for status.net server?! If so this will be an instant buy for me

To elaborate: 99% of the time a twitter application will work just by changing the api root from http://twitter.com/ to http://identi.ca/api/ and in theory most things will work

I bit the bullet and bought it. I can confirm it works just fine at least for checking the timeline and posting.

When you add account there's a gear in lower right. Hit that and I made both the api root and search root https://identi.ca/api and it works! great news. Note there's a big warning about it not being officially supported but the basics seem to be working. So far only thing I've found that doesn't work is the trends when you go to search. The search function works though.

I've had a problem with this. Both my twitter and identi.ca usernames are the same but use a different password. When I set up identi.ca, it works fine; however, when I return to the twitter account I can't refresh the twitter stream. I get an "Unauthorized. Coul..." error messages (see attached image).

I'm assuming the identi.ca credentials have somehow overwritten the twitter credentials because I'm using the same username for both?

I know this isn't officially supported, but this seems a bit odd to me.

MatStace. Thanks for confirming that. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that was having this problem.

I had the same experience. Deleting and re-adding the twitter account fixed twitter but broke identi.ca.

It does seem that the credentials are keyed to the username.

(I should add that I'm still going to use Tweetie 2, because the interface is such a pleasure to use.)

Thanks for the quick response, and for confirming that this is a twitter / identi.ca username collision.

Thanks for adding identi.ca support. It's definitely appreciated, even if it's unofficial for the moment.

Can't wait to see a fix for this, though I'm sure you have quite a bit on your plate at the moment.

Finally, thanks for creating Tweetie 2. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun with an application. It was probably Peggle.

Twitter is the mainstream microblogging site, which Tweetie was developed for, hence the "Tweet" in Tweetie.

Only a handful of anti-closed-source Linux hippies use Identica. I don't really see the point in wasting resources supporting it.

I missed the original comment about "freedom-loving non-luddite hippie anarchists [...] paying for [the] software"

Mark me down as one. I originally purchased for the good UX and the multiple account support, but this would be icing on the cake if I could use this with StatusNet sites also.
