“I see Twitter has restored their API limit to 70/hour. Are they finally getting their act together?”

July 9 at 6:23 am - Link

That's what I was wondering as well. Until I got a limit exceeded message at 50 reqs. - Joel Ross via twhirl

I just use friendfeed, and don't really care about API limits - are you really on the juice so much you need 70reqs/hour :) - Matt Davis

And no, I don't think they've got their act together. - Matt Davis

http://status.twitter.com/ still says 20/hour where are you seeing 70/hour? - Alan Le

No, I was told to _uncheck_ that. - Matt Blodgett via Alert Thingy

@MattBlodgett, there's a new version of Twhirl out today that fixes the follow API limits functionality. - Joel Ross via twhirl

“I definitely need to get used to AlertThingy.”

So far, I'm not impressed. The icons missing from people's tweets is realy upsetting me. Also finding a hard time distinguishing between what I have, and haven't, read already. - Matt Casto via Alert Thingy

I tried Alert Thingy, and went back to Twhirl. Still, it's a bit of a confusing interface. - Joel Ross via twhirl

the one thing I've liked about Alert Thingy is that I don't need two windows for tweets and ff unlike twhirl - Erik Lane via Alert Thingy

I agree 100%. There needs to be a way to selectively filter. - Brian Graf via twhirl

yeah the Like button is a gee whiz function. It could go. I do like the threaded conversations though. - Daniel Woolston via Alert Thingy

I like the threaded conversations too. But I don't need to see something from Scoble just because someone I follow likes it. - Joel Ross via twhirl

“OK, checking out this Room thing”

July 1 at 8:11 pm - Link

I'm still not entirely sure how this room stuff works. You can share things with everyone or just with a specific room. Plus, you don't have to subscribe to a whole bunch of people if you only share one common interest with them. I think it could be like targeted Twitter. - Scott Koon

"it could be like targeted Twitter" - my thoughts are it's like formalized Hashtags - Joel Ross

think of rooms like #hashtags on twitter. it's a way to consolidate messages and links around a central topic such as Herding Code :) - Alan Le

I haven't seen that, and I've been using Twhirl for both ff and twitter for at least a month - Joel Ross via twhirl

wasn't an issue with twitter since I knew the pw but with ff it needs the key that I don't know. - Erik Lane via Alert Thingy

Your remote key is here: https://friendfeed.com/account... - Dave Ward via Alert Thingy

I know where to get it but I don't want to have to get it everytime I want to login to twhirl. - Erik Lane via Alert Thingy

So you're posting from jail now? ;-) - Joel Ross via Alert Thingy

Since when did "being in disguise" become "cross dressing"? :) - Daniel Bruce

There is a Twitter friend importer somewhere - Joel Ross via twhirl

http://internetducttape.com/20... - but it's kinda slow and uses the Google Social Graph. I would be willing to bet that most people use the same username here as they do at Twitter. - Patrick Veverka

That's exactly what I've been doing for a while - gave up on Twitter several weeks ago. - Brandon Wood

FF just needs a better UI. Something about it just bugs me. Not sure why though, I never actually go to the site. - Ryan Farley via twhirl

Besides, the exodus to FF will only work if everyone goes (at least everyone in your network). Not sure that will happen. - Ryan Farley via twhirl

seems that the exodus has begun - Daniel Woolston

Twhirl works on Macs, and has decent FriendFeed support. - Joel Ross via twhirl
