This handy commenting system has kept me here, so tweet might have sealed the deal *err sorry @Nicole I forgot the "snoozing" and "group clustering" in Version 5.0 *wink ...via AlertThingy - Stefan Asemota
I can't figure out why they didn't just go ahead and include support for reading your Twitter stream in this one. Great turnaroud time on adding Twitter support, though. ...via AlertThingy - Jeremy Herbel
I'm really enjoying this! ...via AlertThingy - Mike Lewis
I'd love it if links were clickable too ...via AlertThingy - Jeremy Herbel
I had both apps running (twhirl and alertthingy)...now just alertthingy, twhirl look out indeed... ...via AlertThingy - champhuet
The last thing I need is another thing to flood me with updates. If Alert Thingy or someone else doesn't create a great filtering engine soon, I'm going to go postal. ...via AlertThingy - Lisa Brewster
I like commenting in line, but I need to see my entire Tweet follow/follower list before I drop Twirl. Will run both for a while. ...via AlertThingy - James Urquhart
Alert Thingy is far more attractive than Twirl. Agree with others that being able to see entire Twitter stream would be nice. ...via AlertThingy - Neal Hohman
I don't really think it's a threat. I enjoy seeing my twitter feed on Twhirl and getting more periodic updates from Alert Thingy ...via AlertThingy - Teresa Valdez Klein
But don't we need to factor in all the screen space these app's take up? Window switching is becoming more and more challenging. ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
Don't get me wrong, I love these Air app's, but asking them to display too much will make them pretty damn huge ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
@ImJustCreative exactly. Between Twitterific, Alert Thingy, Adium, and chats I've lost a whole monitor. Hopefully Alert Thingy will eliminate the need to have Twitterific open soon. ...via AlertThingy - David Klein
adding more info you will ideally need more columns, rather than just straight down, otherwise way too unreadable ...via AlertThingy - ImJustCreative
Agreed, I may have to stop using Twhirl at this rate! ...via AlertThingy - Craig Dalton
poor loic...seemed like such a great little buy ...via AlertThingy - AJ Arora
Like I said before, I guess I don't need Twhirl anymore. ...via AlertThingy - Cesar H Castro Jr
over/under on days until alert thingy integrates twitter streams? i'll go for 3 ...via AlertThingy - Samuel Bostock
It'd be nice if AlertThingy had a "hide comments" link that would show up after you do a "show all comments", so you could compactify things again after you were done reading. For that matter, it'd be nice for the web interface to have that, too. :) ...via AlertThingy - felix
No matter how this plays out, the big winner here is AIR. Playing host to all the most popular desktop Web 2.0 service clients is an enviable position. ...via AlertThingy - Teresa Valdez Klein
@felix I have longed for that since day one. I figured it would eventually show up since it was such an obvious feature. - Jeremy Herbel
Not sure I'm ready to give up twirl yet. One thing re:AlertThingy; it's popped up the alert for this post about ten times as if it were a new post. Is that a bug? ...via AlertThingy - Jandy Stone
twhirl no worries until you can monitor and respond to twitter streams ...via AlertThingy - amarquart
@faithx5 just letting you know the entry has a new comment or like. ...via AlertThingy - Phil Ashman
@faithx5 everytime there's a new comment it pops up the original message and not the comment ...via AlertThingy - Hernan Garcia
@Phil & Hernan I wondered if that was what was happening. You should be able to turn that off, or have it show the comment instead. Thx for the replies. ...via AlertThingy - Jandy Stone
Like that you can finally change the horrible original theme ... ...via AlertThingy - Patrick Jordan
Someone who is subscribed to loads of people should work out what % of comments are coming from Alert Thingy these days. - Samuel Bostock
