We're double-checking things on our end right now. Sorry for the delay.

A comment on the question "URL Scheme "twinkle://" - What can it be used for?" in Tapulous:

A bookmarklet is definitely in the cards :) – Chris Clark, on August 01, 2008 05:09

Chris Clark replied on August 01, 2008 05:08 to the question "Downloading new TTR songs without a wireless network..." in Tapulous:

unfortunately not :(

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 23:50 to the question "New Post in Messages Section?" in Tapulous:

The Compose button is public (yellow bubble), but if you hit the Reply button, it'll either be a public reply (purple bubble) or a private reply (blue bubble), depending on the situation. It's a little confusing right now, but it's something we're working on.

If you're familiar with Twitter shortcuts, you can also send Public Replies by starting your post with '@USERNAME' and Private Replies by starting 'D USERNAME' -- the bubble will chance color accordingly.

If your bubble in the Compose window is yellow, the post is completely public.

A comment on the discussion "Future Twinkle Features? (v1.1+)" in Tapulous:

Blocking people you don't want to see is a big priority for the next version of Twinkle. – Chris Clark, on July 31, 2008 21:38

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 21:37 to the problem "restarting on own" in Tapulous:

Hrmm. That's an annoying problem. My best suggestion is to restore your iPod from iTunes.

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 21:36 to the question "new songs" in Tapulous:

We're on the case, and plan to start releasing more tracks, more regularly, starting in the next couple of days.

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 18:50 to the question "How does Twinkle's nearby on the iTouch work with Skyhookwireless?" in Tapulous:

As far as I know, it only needs to find one access point. Twinkle itself doesn't talk to Skyhook directly, Twinkle just asks the iPod/iPhone OS where *it* believes it is, so the details of how it determines your location are somewhat mysterious.

A comment on the discussion "Future Twinkle Features? (v1.1+)" in Tapulous:

Suggestion number one is interesting. We've found that performance can really suffer with more tweets onscreen at once. It's a balancing act, but we're always working on it.

Number two is actually impossible :( The Twitter API (the thing Twitter gives us to let Twinkle talk to their service) doesn't allow you to change your name. – Chris Clark, on July 31, 2008 18:28

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 17:36 to the question "New Post in Messages Section?" in Tapulous:

The "Messages" tab's full name is "Private Messages", that's where the messages other people send you privately are kept. They're colored blue.

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 17:29 to the idea "Twitter Profile Location" in Tapulous:

This is something we're looking into for a future version of Twinkle. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 17:28 to the problem "Twinkle Not Working with Twitter..." in Tapulous:

Sorry to do this, but just to double check can you go into Twinkle settings and ensure they look like this? If they're correct then we need to diagnose the problem on our server.

A comment on the question "Twinkle's network = Twitter? Or other?" in Tapulous:

A more full-featured friends/followers interface is planned for a future release of Twinkle – Chris Clark, on July 31, 2008 17:12

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 17:11 to the question "How many TTR idol songs will make it through?" in Tapulous:

Ten songs went through to the finals.

Chris Clark replied on July 31, 2008 17:10 to the idea "Please support the notification service of Apples iPhone (when its done)" in Tapulous:

We're looking forward to the notification service too :)

Chris Clark replied on July 30, 2008 22:04 to the question "Why aren't my usual follows' tweets showing up in Twinkle?" in Tapulous:

*Whew* you had me worried there was a big bug in our system :)

A comment on the problem "What's a kilometre?" in Tapulous:

The UK gets KMs because the phone tells us the UK is a metric country. It's half right: the UK uses the metric system *except* for miles, so we'll have to work around that in a future version of Twinkle. In the meantime, the temporary fix is to use the United States region format. – Chris Clark, on July 30, 2008 22:03

Chris Clark replied on July 30, 2008 17:21 to the problem "Twinkle 1.1: Location specific measurement units (KMs) not working" in Tapulous:

If you're in the UK but prefer miles, you could switch your International Region Format to United States, but that'll change *all* your units of measure to Imperial instead of Metric.

It's something we'll have to look at for a future version of Twinkle.
