Thanks, I'll check out Witter.

I'm the author of Witter, I'm afriad the diablo version is very far behind the fremantle version, simply because it's a pain to try to maintain both and keep things up. That said I do have at the back of my mind a refactoring to a better engineered code base, which might make it possible for me to bring diablo up to date. No promises, but if nothing else I will end up with a better engineered code base which might make it easier for someone else to get it up and running on diablo.

Maybe it's the Weave or Adblock running on the background, I don't know but it makes my N810 experience less enjoyable. I would like to switch to some other device but so far I haven't found anything that fits my liking and wallet.

This will hopefully improve. Currently, Firefox doesn't quite fly on the N900 either.

Diablo was more or less dead the moment Maemo 5 started coming into its own, around version 42, or whatever the last major release was. Mer can't get enough interest to go anywhere, so I think it's pretty much dead as a project. Especially since, by the time they get anything resembling a 1.0rc release, all n8xx's will be dead, or so few in number and marginalized that nobody will care. I suspect they'll need to go to a kernel that supports both architectures (n8xx and n9xx) in order to have any hope of really coming alive again.

That link is not working for me, but I'm thinking its the same as http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/mobile/ ?

Witter on the N900 is going great, I would just like to say. All it needs is the ability to save multiple searches and it will do everything I need it to do.

I don't understand Mauko; I pointed out the importance of searching six months or so ago and I haven't seen progress that seems significant to me... Witter gets my allegiance. It would sure be great to see more progress for the Diablo version, too.

FYI, here's likely why Mer is dead/dying. There's no need to keep it around anymore.

1) What is the status on Mer for Diablo?
(Were the drivers ever received, etc)?

2) Is there a Google-Buzz application written or planned for Diablo?

3) Is there a four-square application written or planned for Diablo?

4) Is there a Twitter alternative to Mauko and/or will Mauko for Fremantle be back-ported to Diablo anytime soon?

Thanks in advance.

Mer is still in progress last I remember; v.17 was the one in testing a few weeks ago.
Buzz doesn't use an app, its all web-based (and better that way IMO)
Foursquare for diablo, eh, I guess so
Mauku is already on Diablo

I'm fairly sure I read a comment from the author of Mauko that he is no longer actively developing it.

put multiple search terms separated by commas, eg

#n900, #witter, #maemo

and it will search each term individually. not sure if that's quite what you meant, but it will also 'store' those search terms in teh sense that witter will remember them and pu thtem back in the search bar automagically.

if not then it will stop working in June. Hopefully he'll release an update to support oauth before then.
