Let's re-tweet in Flock!
Wish I could retweet from Flock and DM as well. Also we do need more themes for Flock

Inappropriate?I like this question.
Without added features like retweet and direct messaging the Twitter abilities of Flock will only attract the very casual Twitter usual.
To those that use Twitter more often it will only be a novelty since they will most likely be using clients like Twhirl or Tweetdeck or utilizing Twitter enhancement sites. I use Twhirl myself, and occasionally some of the online enhancement sites (like twitiq for example) and still had to use them back when I was still using Flock because I needed the additional features. So .... if twitter users still have to use other twitter clients/sites/tools while using Flock... then it's twitter abilities are just a novelty and is therefore just "bloat" I mean , yes it's cool...and I'm hoping you will eventually add more functionality...but until then it's just something else that slows down the browser, eats up system resources, and adds perhaps to the frequency of computer crashs. -
Inappropriate?Hi,
Re-tweet and DMs options are available in Flock 2.5 , downloadable on our website at www.flock.com.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Thanks @Aleififer and @Sophie.
Flock 2.5 wouldn't launch on my Vista system... I was able to get an earlier build to work. No firewall was interfering, but perhaps Firefox caused a conflict. I'll try removing Firefox and giving it another shot.
Regarding the efficient use of code to minimize hits to system resources, No code at all is fast code. :-) I understand that must be a challenge for developers - and yet also like the idea of convergence, which is what Flock is about.
I don't know the answer.. plugins? For instance, it would be nice to see a more full-featured blog editor integrated with Flock. But there are always priorities!
Best,
Robert
I’m happy

Well I have Flock 2.5 running fine in Windows 7 so that is really strange.... -
Editing reply as Robert got Flock 2.5 working, as mentioned in: http://getsatisfaction.com/flock/topi...
Glad to hear it's working now! -
Inappropriate?Technogran, Re-tweet and Message (DM) are available in the Twitter sidebar in the actions menu. The message link will only be present if they are following you as well.
If you use the My World page, Reply and RT graphics appear in the Twitter and friend widgets on the righthand side when you hover over an item.
Are you seeing these?

Yes I know! I now use them all the time, I actually posed this question before 2.5 was available.........

Inappropriate?Thanks, Chris, and Technogran:-) There was a conflict with a previously installed version of Firefox, I think.
