Progress Bar for video uploads

I think Tweetie 2 could do with a progress bar when uploading video. Over WiFi, it's not too bad as you have 15Mbit speeds to play with, and the average video uploads in about 30-60 seconds. However, over 3G or - gasp - EDGE, it takes quite a lot longer. I'd like to see a progress bar added for at least video uploads, as I think it would be much more useful than just waiting for the tweet to show up.

The official TwitVid app, while being rather basic, boring, and featureless, manages to work well and has a progress bar, so I can close it as soon as it's done, rather then waiting.

So, possible? :)

A comment on the idea "DL2 on iPhone" in Delicious Monster:

Would it not be possible to do what other apps, such as QR code readers do? Take a photo, get the app to read the photo, find the barcode, and go from there.

It's not as slick as simply pointing and waiting, but it should work. – William Hook, on September 22, 2009 00:10

A comment on the idea "DL2 on iPhone" in Delicious Monster:

Actually, that's a superb idea. Perhaps not so much with the 2G or 3G iPhone, but the 3GS's camera, along with WiFi and Delicious Library running on the Mac, would be awesome. – William Hook, on September 20, 2009 10:24

Highlight new Tweets

The one thing stopping me from using Tweetie full time is a very useful feature that Twitterfon (another iPhone client) has.

Basically, in Twitterfon, when I open the app, it loads all the recent tweets that I've not yet seen, and highlights them - however, it only loads up to 200 tweets.

Tweetie, on the other hand, doesn't do this. It only loads 100 tweets by default, and if I want to find the last read tweet, I have to manually scroll through the list. This might be okay for most people but I follow about 100 people, and get about 200 updates a day, if not more.

So, basically, I'd love it if Tweetie for the iPhone could 1) load 200 (or even 300) of the most recent tweets, and 2) highlight new Tweets.

Would this be possible in a future version?

Indeed, this is one of the features Twitterrific has and I've always found it very useful. Sad to see Tweetie is missing it! :(

Small graphics issue

I found a tiny issue in Tweetie: http://william-hook.com/external/skit...

As you can see, the users' avatar is overlapping the grey "selected" box. It's not a major bug, but for something that looks as sexy as Tweetie does, it would be nice to see it fixed soon. ;)
