A comment on the question "When is Twitter going to get groups?" in Twitter:

QUOTING...However, I'd argue there's fewer users who are interested in "Let me send messages to everyone that's at this place I'm at" and more who are into "Let me tell my friends but not my co-workers what I'm up to."

I was having this problem on Vista with UltraEdit opening, was to go into UE and disable file types associated (I use Notepad++ anyways). This worked for me.

Perhaps if they're really buying Summize, they'll finally get behind the concept of hashtags. They are easy to use and don't require creating anything new. Summize + hashtags takes care of the scenario you describe here. (However, I think that's very separate from the concept of groups. Twitter would be smart to hop on that train; especially with FriendFeed and their "rooms.") – quepol, on July 09, 2008 22:42

I have this problem too, but links open in Mozilla Prism instead of FF.

I would like to understand how to use this better, but I am not happy with the "How it Works" portion. I want to invite people, then be able to address them directly. Once I have addressed them directly, will anyone else of my invites be able to see the message I have sent to 1 person? So confused!!!!!!!!!!! And How do I do a group send out? is this possible yet? – Coby

update: zelph has posted a workaround at http://getsatisfaction.com/seesmic/to...

My problem is that twhirl tries to open links in a text editor (TextMate) instead of my default browser (Firefox). Updating to AIR 1.1 didn't fix the problem.

According to RCDefaultApp, TextMate is set up to open text/plain MIME types and the following types of URLs and files: txmt, adb, ads, asa, ascx, ashx, asmx, aspx, bash_login, bash_logout, bash_profile, bib, bsh, build, cfdg, cfg, cfm, cfml, cl, cls, cm3, config, cpt, cpy, css, d, dbm, dbml, diff, dist, dtml, dwt, dylan, e, el, erbsql, erl, ext, f90, f95, fcgi, fpp, fscript, fxscript, g, grl, gtd, gtdlog, hrl, hs, htc, htm, html, i, ifb, in, inf, io, js, l, lgt, lhs, lisp, logo, lsp, lua, m3, m4, markdn, markdown, md, mdown, mediawiki, mel, mips, ml, mli, mll, mly, moinmoin, mp, mtml, mud, patch, pde, perl, php, php3, php4, php5, phtml, pod, properties, pt, python, rbx, re, rem, remind, rest, rjs, rpy, rst, rxml, s5, sch, scm, servlet, shtml, slate, spim, ss, sty, swg, tex, text, textfile, textmate, tld, tmbundle, tmBundle, tmCommand, tmDragCommand, tmLanguage, tmMacro, tmp, tmplugin, tmPlugin, tmPlugIn, tmPreferences, tmproj, tmProj, tmProject, tmproject, tmReleaseNotes, tmSnippet, tmTemplate, tmtheme, tmTheme, tsv, tt, txt, utf8, vb, vss, wiki, wikipedia, xml, xql, yml

I'm having this same problem with Twirl and other Adobe Air apps (AlertThingy). Running OS 10.5.2. Clicking links in Twirl opens BBEdit and not
Firefox.

I've looked around at all preferences and can't seem to find the solution.

Please help!

when i think about groups for twitter, i think about sending an update as a kind of direct message to everyone in the group. to make sure they dont miss it.

i mainly just want to be able to let my close circle of friends where i am, what i'm up to. i don't want an acquaintance or a frenemy or whatever knowing what's up and inviting themselves along.

Ariel works for Pounce? now I get what is going on.. ... yeah she blocked me on my first day ever using twitter. she isn't nice. I could see why a stalker would want a piece of her. Motive with a capital "M"... she is probably telling the truth. I was angered enough by her behavior to spiral out of control. I think it is time we start blaming the victim... just a bit. come on people. bring out the inner "Nelson" is all of us and go "HA HA"

create a new twitter account for your inner circle and mark the updates as protected. sign up that account with http://grouptweet.com/ . you control who sees the updates (who is a member). – damon, on June 10, 2008 18:33

A comment on the question "When is Twitter going to get groups?" in Twitter:

For me, it's just a privacy thing. I'd like to let my closest friends know (geographically) where I am, without letting the whole world know where I am. So, I guess, a semi-private communication service; I could do it with multiple recipient SMS outside of Twitter, but I like and am now regularly using the twitter interface (and twitterberry) so it would be convenient to be able to tweet my inner circle in this way. – theclimbergirl, on June 10, 2008 18:10

Doesn't that somewhat defeat the purpose of having a public twitter stream? I'm trying to figure out if what people want in the groups feature is a way to not SMS-spam their "further" followers or actually some form of semi-private communications service.

Considering that Twitter sees itself as a "follow-based" or "recipient-based" service when each person chooses how much of the firehose they'd like pointed in their direction, my first conjecture about spamminess seems moot.

theclimbergirl replied on June 10, 2008 15:45 to the question "When is Twitter going to get groups?" in Twitter:

I really just would like to be able to identify an "inner circle" of real-life friends/family that I can send tweets to that don't go out to my whole follower list. E.g. if I want to tweet my "inner circle" that I'm doing dinner somewhere but don't want to tell my whole follower list.

A comment on the problem "Twitter refuses to uphold Terms of Service" in Twitter:

Well then, I stand corrected. Biz lied about his business practices and Twitter will be flooded with people calling each other vulgar names and ads for penis enlargement. Guess it's time to close my account now before that happens. Everyone move to Pownce. They block spammers and stalkers better than Twitter.

Sorry to be so sarcastic about this, but I still don't see the major issue here. If Biz lied and didn't follow his own companies' ToS, then shame on him. But all of this for one person? C'mon. And I don't care that she disclosed the fact that she works for Pownce AND that all of this happened BEFORE she worked at Pownce, that's now a factor hanging in the balance.

Seriously, I hope Twitter does respond better, but it sounds like no matter what Twitter/Biz does here, it will never be good enough for the users. Meanwhile, the true slippery slope that will happen will be censored comments from every person who was stalked, offended, called a "cunt", etc etc... Twitter will be reacting more to answering to complainers than they will fixing their network. It will be down more than up.... wait a minute... if they are down, people can't send threatening or vulgar tweets to others. Problem solved. Move to Pownce. – martymankins, on June 04, 2008 20:50
