This is soooo not ready for primetime. Looks great, but I cannot get the damn thing to work properly! - Corvida via Alert Thingy
Loic, this looks great to me. So far, no problems, and the pic droplet and twitpic integration is awesome! - Daniel Rothamel via twhirl
Friends/Followers isn't working for me in Twitter client. Am I missing something? - Ellen Moore via twhirl
no problems for me, been running this "version" since the .7.9 release very pleased - BCK via twhirl
the screen w/ replies, directs, etc. - Ellen Moore via twhirl
it rocks! - Jorge Luis Revilla via twhirl
great - except I keep getting alerts for this message over and over and over and over again! - designdyke via twhirl
every time someone posts a reply... - designdyke via twhirl
Hmm, both 7.9 and 8 have a problem displaying new tweets after a few minutes. scrolling down then up makes them magically appear... - Rick Mahn via twhirl
@Rick Mahn Noticing the same and it's irritating me - Corvida via twhirl
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I need to update!! - Mike Lewis
its good, still needs filters to remove double tweets from people in friendfeed and twitter, and I should be able to see all the comments without needing the browser. Isn't that the point of a desktop app? no browser usage? - BCK via twhirl
Using Twhirl Version 0.8... It's great! The only thing I would like more is the ability to use one feed which would push FriendFeed and Twitter into the same stream and allow me to post to both from the same stream! - Dustin Mooney via twhirl
Great job Loic! - Elliott Plack via twhirl
i've had it installed for a few minutes now and it's already bullying AlertThingy into submission. very, very nice - HokieGeek via twhirl
hey super ! alert thingy vs twhirl - net via Alert Thingy
Good stuff - nice addition! I would love to have it in a single integrated window with some nice filtering, but the addition of FF is a nice start. - Kevin Johnson
Excellent Loïc, un billet en parle déjà chez moi ( http://blog.accessoweb.info ) Il ne manque plus qu'à réunir les 2 modules - philippe via Alert Thingy
désolé, du coup je me suis planté pour poster mon commentaire, voilà qui est réparé, je suis bien sous Twhirl :) - philippe via twhirl
great..feature request(already) can we have both the streams in the same window :-) - Jaimini via twhirl
Jaimini both streams from Twitter and Friendfeed in the same windows is planned soon - Loic Le Meur via twhirl
seems to be working very well. - Jeremy Kunz via twhirl
thank you all for your feedback. @Rick Mahn definitely looking on to this one - Loic Le Meur
just figured out how this works and I am very impressed, love it. Be good to get some better instructions though - Dave Gray via twhirl
works great for me here! - Jerome Gotangco
So far it is working great. - Chris Patterson via twhirl
Excellent! Works great! - Andrew Ruess via twhirl
Can I suggest to make it an option to combine the windows? I would want the feedfriend to be separate to my twitter - I also want to be able to decide to have one open and one closed. Like you can now for different twitter accounts. Sure make it an option to do so but also not to. - Dave Gray
Working well most of the time. The friend feed window sometimes locks up when I try to navigate between friends and any of the other view buttons. OS X 10.5 Intel. Anyone else have those problems? - Jeremy Kunz via twhirl
Yeah, seems that there must be a fair load on the servers - Dave Gray via twhirl
Awesome. Do I still need Alert Thingy? - Rick Farris via twhirl
Agree with David, I'd love to see this integrated into the same window as twitter. - Richard Giles
Seems fine here - no problems yet - Dennis Howlett
I like Alert Thingy's UI better but if twhirl goes single-window, it'll be hard to beat. - Akiva Moskovitz via twhirl
I must say, I do prefer Alert Thingy (still). It looks prettier and i like that it expands comments in its own window instead of going to the FF site like twhirl. If I wanted that, I'd be using the site not twhirl. Still, the first client to integrate twitter/FF into one stream, and eliminate duplicate tweets will get my vote - David Adam via twhirl
If you follow too many Twitters and FriendFeeds, there is a need to have two windows to sort out everything. How about having the option to use one or two windows. Two windows works for me. - Freddie Avalos via twhirl
Interesting point Freddie makes. Perhaps remove the Twitter messages from FF if you allow merged Windows. That way you only see the Twitter messages once. - Richard Giles via twhirl
Perhaps the combined window could be an option. I don't know which I would prefer. Right now, I think I like the two windows. But, as others have said, it will be great when we are able to filter out Twitter messages so they don't show up on FriendFeed window as well as the Twitter window. - Gregory Pittman via twhirl
Loic, please get Twhirl to open links in a new tab, not a new window. Skype can do it. - Mick Liubinskas
this is exhausting! - Sarah Perez
Why does Twhirl insist on using IE instead of my default browser (Flock)? is it only me? gngngngn - Kamath via twhirl
Thanks for the release! I wish it has "per web service" filtering just like MySocial 24x7. That would make the thing much more useful.. :) - Leon Ho
Not sure if this is the best place to comment about this, but on MacOSX 10.5.2, there's some weird kerning issues in the FF comment box, specifically with the 'w' eg where is that space coming from - http://skitch.com/jordanbrock/... - Jordan Brock via twhirl
would also be great to collapse a FF notification, because this particular one looks like it is going to consume the top of my FF window for a while, and I'd like to see others :) - Richard Giles via twhirl
So what's it gonna be, thwirl or alert thingy? both have pretty much the same features now I guess.. - Leo Koivulehto via Alert Thingy
Hidden entries integration keeps me with Alert Thingy for the moument. I'll also add my voice to having the option to combine windows, auto removing the dupes, and expanding comments in the client. - Tony Miller via Alert Thingy
And I really hope one or the other lets you sort by service soon. - Tony Miller via Alert Thingy
Great ! I'd like to filter some services... You know like Twitter that appears twice (Twitter and FriendFeed window)... - Sanji (Jean-Daniel S.) via twhirl
I'd like to be able to filter by friend or by service. Like ffapp's greasemonkey script http://www.ffapps.com/filters/ - David Adam
cool - accesine
Also, both clients are missing an in client player for the things like YouTube favorites and Seesmic posts. Come to think of it, the only reason I end up keeing either client running is for the desktop notifications. Other than that the Friendfeed website itself is still a much better experience. But I guess its all still new and will be sorted out over time. - Tony Miller
Not a lot of luck getting this to work. Comes up fine but doesn't update the screen, unable to open anything. - 2WheelTech
Twhirl 0.8 work GREAT for me :) - Scott STEPHEN via twhirl
I have replaced Alerty Thing with Twhirl. Good acquisition! - Jeremy Abbett
Dropping comments direct into FF from the Twhirl client would be a nice addition - Dennis Howlett
@Dennis This is already working. What do you mean ? - Scott STEPHEN via twhirl
@Scott - how? I can't see any way to do that as I can on the web or with AltertThingy - Dennis Howlett
aaah - just found it. Very light grey in comment area. FF post area - Dennis Howlett via twhirl
@Dennis ;) - Scott STEPHEN via twhirl
great, looks cool! - Timo Heuer via twhirl
Twhirl is bugging out on me here ! Scroll to far down the FF window and it disables all the buttons and freezes updates ? - David Smith via twhirl
very cool indeed - Baard Overgaard Hansen

impressive, keep going that way! - Marek
if there would be one thing to tempt into developing again it would be to play with this .. but no .. no ... I'll leave that to others - Steven Hodson
My original remote key had the word "dumb" in it. It made me smile, but I reset it anyway :) PS: Oops, after another reset of the key I get the first error: it says "502 Bad Gateway ... nginx/0.6.24" (at https://friendfeed.com/account...) PPS: Now it works again. - Philipp Lenssen
congrats! - Frederic
Congratulations! :-) - Jess Lee
Congrats! Please clarify - what is the maximum number of entries returned per fetch? - Aviv
100 entries is the current maximum. We would prefer applications request the default number (30) unless there is a compelling reason to request more. - Bret Taylor
So very awesome, great work guys! - Glenn Slaven
Wow, amazing how fast you guys get stuff done. - Ryan W
Love it. If only all APIs would come with a pre-wrapped PHP class. Why does the PHP class not precede functions with public or private by the way? - Philipp Lenssen
You guys rock! I have a few ideas for extending and improving, though with how fast you all iterate I'm afraid my ideas are going to clash with your roadmap. - Clint
Bret's news knocked my news off of the top of Techmeme today. It's on! - DeWitt Clinton
Bret, just out of curiosity: on what technology stack the FF is built? - Dmitriy Kopylenko
@Dmitriy: I believe the site is written in Python. No clue about database, server, or anything else. But I thought I'd answer with what I know (er, think I know ;-). - Voyagerfan5761
Pretty sure it's MySQL, I think I've seen them talk about it before, and they are definitely using nginx as a frontend - Benjamin Golub
I remember seeing some nginx (http server) errors a few days after they launched (edit: oops, just saw Benjamin's reference to nginx) - Aviv
@Voyagerfan Thanks. Would be interesting to know if it's Django or just vanilla Python - Dmitriy Kopylenko
Not Django, I asked that question a while back (when FF first opened up in beta). It is their own Python framework - Benjamin Golub
Thanks Benjamin. Is there any reason to "roll your own", here? - Dmitriy Kopylenko
I'm glad you posted a link for us non-techies so we could find out what the heck an API is/does! I'm excited to see what developers will come up with....I'm crossing my fingers for friendfeed mobile so I can easily use FF on my blackberry. - Emily Miller
I really enjoyed the Python API. I have just added FF support to http://eventseer.net, an academic event tracker written in Django... Allows you to share the conferences and people you're keeping track of on FF. Thanks! - Thomas Brox Røst
IMO there's overhead to a framework both in learning, radical customization, and speed. Django is cool when it fits the model of what you're building, but sometimes it's just easier to roll your own. One concrete example is I would prefer to use SQL directly rather than use the model stuff, which is great when it works, but painful when your database gets complicated. Just my experience, others will be different. - Chris White
Agree with Emily Miller. FriendFeed mobile! I can read FriendFeed on mobile, but can't like or comment anything. - Ontario Emperor
@emilymiller: if your phone supports IM you can use the jabber buddy friendfeed@imified.com to post comments to FF. We're still looking for some feedback on what other IM integrations make sense and are open to some feedback - Anthony Webb
Yes, when you have to write custom SQL, the benefits of a framework start to fade away. - Benjamin Golub
