Randy J. Ray shared an idea in Live Oak 360 on September 23, 2008 09:08:
Will there be an API that can be used by third-party applications?Services like is.gd, bit.ly, etc. have APIs that permit users to integrate those features with applications such as Twitter clients, etc. Will BudURL have such an API?-
A comment on the idea "Ping.fm support" in Seesmic:
Twhirl is a free application. I happen to consider it one the best examples of an AIR cross-platform application to have yet be written and released (it's the only app that gives me a *truly* consistent interface across Linux, Mac OSX and Windows-- even Java apps like Eclipse, or Firefox/Thunderbird have noticeable differences on Mac OSX). But it is free, and we all benefit from that. This kind of demanding attitude doesn't inspire the developers to help you, I promise. As a developer of free software myself, I would be more likely to delay any feature you request with such a tone of voice just out of spite. – Randy J. Ray, on September 21, 2008 23:41 -

I would like to see this, too. Currently I either use the webpage, or I compose the message in twhirl, Ctrl-A+Ctrl-X, then paste it into an IM window. As a previous comment said, IM windows don't tell you how close you're getting to 140 chars. -

Form at http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=request only refreshes the pageUsing the form at http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=... to report a spammer (following the link from the FAQ page), every time I submit it it just refreshes the page. If the form is actually submitting, there's no indication of it that I can tell.
(Also, that form isn't very well-suited to reporting spammers in the first place.) -
Randy J. Ray marked one of Todd's replies in Fluid as useful. Todd replied to the problem "Fluid apps open new windows in "default" browser rather than the SSB".

Excellent, that did it! I didn't know about that feature, but I've been learning about a lot of features I didn't know about, since finding the "community" section on the Fluid site. Thanks! -

Fluid apps open new windows in "default" browser rather than the SSBThere are two sites that I use regularly that don't want to play nicely with Fluid. Both of them require signing-in, and both seem to issue some variety of HTTP redirect after authentication. When the Fluid-app gets the redirect, it chooses to open it in a new window for some reason. Since my default browser is Firefox, that ends up opening the page in FF instead of the SSB itself.
I've also noticed something similar when using a SSB configured for Google Reader-- when I click on an article title to jump to the original URL, it "launches" it as though I had clicked a shortcut from the desktop. It ends up in a FF window (or in my case, a new tab in an existing window). -
Randy J. Ray asked a question in Twitter on June 11, 2008 23:55:
Desired ID/name is taken, but abandoned?Suppose I want a specific ID. It's taken. But the ID has no updates, no followers, no-one followed. I.e., someone created it but then abandoned it. Is there a way to get it reset so that I can use it?
