Loic Le Meur

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

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 L

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 ॐ 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
