Not able to get into the xcla.im site. Whats up?
This looks cool and I seriously miss xmpp track in twitter. I'd like to give it a try. Problem for me (perhaps Im overly paranoid) is giving my IM password. Gtalk password = everything google = keys to kingdom.
See above regarding GTalk passes and what I may be able to do.. Also, they are stored encrypted. I doubt that makes you feel safer. No different than something like Meebo, though.

Good point re: Meebo
- Dan MacTough
Good points guys. Thanks. Posting directly through twitterspy for now.
- Scott Kingery
I don't like taking passwords in twitterspy. twitter's got a bug open to fix it but there's really not a lot of options in the meantime. -- note that you don't need to give twitterspy your username and password to track, just for posting and whois and stuff.
- Dustin Sallings
So is this an IM lookalike API hook for posting to Twitter? I am a little reticent to hand it my password.
Thinking about packaging it up so you can run it on your own server. Either that or one would need to use an alt account like Dan says. I will add other IM types (Jabber Aim) w3hen I get a chance.

Re: sharing your Google password. Wise to be concerned. Maybe set up a second account?

I'm going to be making some server changes today 6/25/08. Will re-launch tonight in a more permanent enviroment. Thanks.
I'm thinking about EC2 for a permanent hosting place but am concerned since I have little experience
- Matt Terenzio
For no related reason, I finally got around to playing with EC2 last night. It was dead simple if you follow the guide. What may not be as simple is automatically instantiating more instances in response to load -- didn't explore that yet.
- Dan MacTough
my main concern is the fear of losing an instance and all the customizations to that image. I'm not up on creating a custom image so I'd have to make some custom changes to an image once it became an instance. I usually have a few machines around with similar environments in case of a catastrophic loss, so getting another server up and running is usually fairly easy (yeah right). But I need a way to do a backup of all the libraries and tools I might use. backing up the data is no problem
- Matt Terenzio
I didn't go that far, but the guide made it sound really easy to save your customizations to an instance. Note, though, that you must use your own S3 account as storage for that instance, so your costs will be a bit higher. And of course every time you tweak something, you have to resave the instance and transfer it to S3. Bandwidth between EC2 and S3 is free, at least.
- Dan MacTough
I truly believe that virtual is the future of hosting. the learning curve for setting up an instance is easy but you must change your general development patterns. Plus I've been on FreeBSD for years. I'm used to that. Should I bite the bullet is the real question. . .
- Matt Terenzio
Sounds like a rhetorical question.

allow selection and copying of text from tweets in list
funny I had mentioned that problem earlier, then Dan and I concluded that cut and paste worked. Need to examine further I guess.
- Matt Terenzio
Maybe you need to resize the window once before that works. :-p
- Dan MacTough
display time since message sent as "tip" on message hover
dm to a non-follower fails silently need to display the failure to poster
allow window to be made narrower, less horizontal margin so can still view narrow window alongside main window on smaller displays
provide for @, d gestures
meaning a reply or dm link under the tweet?
- Matt Terenzio
also retweet if possible, perhaps like menu that shows up in Hahlo
- Jerome Hughes
thinking it might be nicest if icons for "tweeter's tweets", @, d, retweet showed up as a translucent menu overlay that can be dismissed with either a cancel icon or a click outside the window - function that stays out of the way until your attention is expressed by clicking the tweeter's id, eventually maybe also avatar
- Jerome Hughes
link tweeter's twitter id to tweeter's twitter page
handle clicks on non-link message portions as request for that tweet's twitter.com page in other window
allow hiding/unhiding of tweet input footer, extending tweet list space
have top of window header with title & feedback autohide when new messages arrive, at top of list when needed
reduce extra white space below short tweets above tweet separation line
allow adjustment of tweet list font size using cmd+ and cmd-
click on title in top header, links to page not found "http://http:/..." using back via menu returns logged out
