So is it Growl resending an old notification that you didn't tell it to resend? If so, what can we do to get on Growl's case about it? O captain my captain-

Hide tweets with a given tag, like #squarespaceI'm a little sick of seeing all my friends pander to #squarespace this week. And this is just the first week of a thirty-day contest.
But Tweetie could hide the tweets that have that tag! I could set up a blacklist (in a black tool panel, even) and then unsightly memes and contests would be ... managed. -

Set a default account from which to postI use multiple accounts to follow different sets of people, but I only want to reply from one account because they all follow that one. Can I get a setting that would make it so whenever I click the Reply arrow or open the New Tweet button, it is set to use an account I choose? Rather than whatever account was selected at the time.
This is specifically about Tweetie-Mac but it might be nice on iPhone as well. -

Wrong cursor shows when window is not frontmostI have this expectation of Tweetie because other OS X apps work this way:
When the main window isn't frontmost, pointing at its links should not show the pointing-finger cursor, because clicking will not follow the link, it will just raise the window.
Say there are two tweets in my timeline with twitpic links. The main window is frontmost. I click one link and the photo window displays. I point at the other link, see the finger cursor, and click to open it too. Nothing happens, except the window becomes key again. This is counter to my expectations because the cursor was the finger, not the arrow.
It's especially confusing because the main window's title bar and breadcrumb stay dark whether or not the window is frontmost. I really thought that click would follow the link.
Compare to Safari: If the browser window isn't frontmost, pointing at its links leaves you with the arrow cursor. Clicking once raises the window, and after that the finger cursor displays on links, and clicking them follows them.
I would suppose this also applies to torn-off Search windows. -

connerk replied on May 06, 2009 16:11 to the idea "Have conversations go forward in the time line as well as back." in atebits:
With current Twitter API, it isn't possible to trace conversations forward arbitrarily. Twitter is aware that people would like to be able to search for tweets that are replies to a given tweet, but it's not available yet.
But you absolutely could do it among tweets that you have already collected from your timeline and mentions! See this topic: http://getsatisfaction.com/atebits/to... -

Global "New Tweet" hotkey: Pull selected text into tweet windowI love the global hotkey for posting a tweet. But sometimes I want to tweet a quote from a web page, or a URL, etc. I'd like the New Tweet global hotkey to copy whatever text I had selected, open the New Tweet window like it already does, paste it in the box, and select that text (so I can just type to overwrite it if I don't want it after all). If the selected text is longer than say 200 characters, then don't do it, since obviously I don't want to tweet all that. -

I agree. Maybe u gray for tags at the beginning or end of a tweet, but not in the middle. -

Show replies to my tweet (doable with current API)Often I write a tweet and get many replies, and I start a few conversations. I might do this to get some ideas about a blog topic, for example, and feel out what others think about it. In a sense I'm building a reply thread, but I don't have any way to review it later, besides darting around in my mentions view. I'd like to view everything on this topic, i.e. everything rooted at that one tweet, easily.
Unfortunately the Twitter API doesn't yet let you search for tweets based on what they're in reply to. So @atebits can't make a feature whereby you pick a tweet and get all the replies to it, and have those replies cascade into a tree of replies. It would be awesome! But the current API doesn't let developers do it.
But! I would love to be able to do this with my own recent tweets. Those tweets are already in my timeline, and so are their replies, and so are my replies to those.
Here's the idea: Tweetie-Mac could search its own local storage of my tweets and mentions, and put together a reply tree that is limited to my timeline + mentions. That would be enough to show conversations between myself and strangers, and between myself and my friends, in recent history.
I think it's doable without any additional Twitter API calls, and when Twitter's API does support it (there are plans: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/...), it could be extended to all tweets for all time. -
