Twhirl and Google Chrome
Show more... ...Show less

How can I get Twhirl to open links in Google Chrome instead of Firefox? I tried selecting it as the default in "set program access and computer defaults"

Choice of URL shorteners or selection to use none at all?
Show more... ...Show less

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?

Wipi.es, one of the urls shorter
Show more... ...Show less

Hi,

I am the creator of Wipi [http://wipi.es] and I think that my service can be one of the urls shorteners.

Wipi have a great API, to convert an URL with the API, you can write this text in the adress bar: http://wipi.es/create.php?url=THE_URL and the response of my webpage is only the shorted URL.

Obviously, in the home page [http://wipi.es] is the design (very simple).

Sorry for my bad english, but I'm spanish and I don't use too correctly the words in english.

Thanks, Cesar.

auto url shortening missing
Show more... ...Show less

A feature that is implicit in Tweetr but is explicit in Twhirl is URL shortening. For me, URLs should be shortened automatically (I don't care about the used service), only when I explicitly want to keep the copy-pasted url I should be able to undo with CTRL+Z.

Add poprl.com URL shortener support

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

characters trailing a url are interpreted as part of the url
Show more... ...Show less

if someone puts a period after a url , like in a sentence, it gets shortened

look at this twitter account: http://twitter.com/brett

brett uses tinyurl

the twitter site will display his lists like this

[a]http://tinyurl.com/6k27hq[/a].

twhirl does

[a]http://tinyurl.com/6k27hq.[/a]

i know url munging is frowned on, and has drawbacks - but this could at least be fixed in the url shortening apps. twhirl supports several, and it would be trivial to add a regex to make sure that tiny/isgd/etc urls are always displayed as 'valid'

Why are shortened urls converted into local cached urls?
Show more... ...Show less

Twhirl version 0.8.4 on Linux (Kubuntu Gutsy).
All the urls are converted into local urls starting with file:// which prevents browsing from the linked page.

Twhirl reacts poorly to application switching On OSX
Show more... ...Show less

On OSX twhirl reacts poorly to application switching. When the window gets focus it always does a getURL if the post has a url in it -- and it seems to make random favorites to my twitter account.

there should be some better handling. this makes the application nearly unusable -- creating datapoints on my twitter account when i don't want them , and opening up urls in safari/firefox nearly every time i try to switch to twhirl.

if i click on a url in a twhirl window, it should only open a URL if twhirl is the active app.

I like that you provide a few link-related options when you right-click on a URL, however I would sooooooo love it if could add "copy link to clipboard" among them. Pretty please?

Direct message default setting & URL validation
Show more... ...Show less

1. I think it's better to leave the video to be 'public' by default when sending direct messages. Or it's even better to have a preference setting there.

2. The URL in profile doesn't check if it is a valid address or not, so somebody may post 'www.example.com' instead of 'http://www.example.com', system would bring users to a wrong place.

I'd like tinyurl.com support added as a shortening service. it's the most stable from my tests / day to day use.

moourl.com also seems nice

thanks
