Can we get a choice of URL shorteners rather than being forced to use Twitter's choice of TinyURL? Or even better a choice not to use one at all. If I don't need to shorten my URL to fit into 140 characters why should I? I understand this is mostly Twitter but is there anything Twhirl can do since I know myself and many others use it for almost everything related to Twitter?

I'd would like poprl.com support added. It's a great shortening service that drives traffic back to my popular links.

Since twhirl lives in the system tray, could you add the facility to remind users to tweet occasionally?

I imagine this working in two (three?) possible ways:

1) Gentle Reminders -- After a user-configurable period (30 min, 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, etc) twhirl would popup a "What are you doing?" window/balloon, with the option to type a tweet in the window, or to close the reminder. (I'd pick every 4 hours, but that's just me.) The reminder balloon should probably auto-close after a short period, so users don't get frustrated by having to manually close it every time.

2) Nagging -- As above, but if the user closes/ignores the reminder, it pops up again with steadily increasing frequency (eg twice as often, up to a maximum frequency of every five minutes?) until the user makes a tweet, then resets back to the gentle reminder frequency. (This is the option I would prefer.)

A third, more complex option is to programmatically determine how often the user tweets via twhirl (or, for new users, how often they've tweeted in the past), or if they tweet at particular times of the day, and set the reminders to activate at those times.

I use brightkite to update twitter so I'd really like to use twhirl to update brightkite so that I can be a bit more seamless. Thanks.

instead of having to have 2 separate windows open for identi.ca & twitter cant we have a option to have them in one ?

i like having friendfeed seperate but i hate having the Micro-blogging sites seperate

I would love to see spell checking implemented!

How about a button that pulls up and displays the latest status message from the Twitter blog inside the Twhirl client?

The more people I follow, the harder it is to segregate tweets to pick out people that only tweet periodically. It would be nice to be able to filter people in lists or based on statistics. For example a slider that says show me tweets from people with less that 10 tweet per hour/day, etc. Also allow me to create inclusive and exclusive groups to filter by. For example, not active could be (all - (person a, person b, person q, etc).

I don't find it convenient that twitter notification is the default setting, and there is no way to change that in the Settings. So everytime we post a video (which is quite often in my case) I would have to think of unclicking the twitter notification. I overcame that problem by deleting my password in the twitter tab, but then when I actually feel like I should send a notification, I have to first reset the entire twitter profile (sometimes I don't remember my password, so it means getting it from where I have stored it, how unconvenient!)

When it would be so pleasant, to have my default choice made free: I want to have the "twitter notification" unclicked, and would click it vonluntarily (sp?) whenever I find it valuable.

Please tell me it's an easy feature to implement! Thanks.

I'd like to have crossposts to Twitter carry a bit more context then just:
[recentTitleName] [link]

Maybe something like this:
"@[user] started [OriginalConvoTitle] @seesmic : [linkToConvo]"
and
"@[user] replied to [OriginalConvoTitle] @seesmic : [linkToConvoREThread]"

The [OriginalConvoTitle] string could accordion to accommodate the 140 char limit.

The Twitter Blacklist (http://twitterblacklist.com/) is a list of known spammers. They have a public API for querying a twitterer's inclusion in the list.

Twitter Twerp Scan (http://twerpscan.com/) scans your friends or followers for users with lopsided followers:following ratios. They also have a reputation feature and a Greasemonkey script to query a twitterer's reputation.

When someone (other than me) sends a reply or DM, show the picture of their intended recipient.

It would be useful to see the reply and DM icons (as appropriate) on replies and DMs that I send from twhirl.

I felt stupid as I poked around the interface for ten minutes trying to find the button to Twitter my video. It turned out that it had already been posted automatically. This is great, except I didn't realize it.

Two suggested quick fixes: 1.) add a note on the settings panel that mentions that each new video will be auto-posted; 2.) add a notification message upon Save that confirms that it has been posted to the relevant networks.

Great stuff!
