Same question - how do we just post a thought/epiphany/url/whatever rather than just do replies? (I can't get a post via setting availability status)

This is absolutely great so far. Just a few thoughts to consider:

- Advanced option: don't make contacts visible in phone book (at all). Will this be part of the 'selective contact' importing you mention?

- I believe mentioned: character count (somehow)?

- This may sound stupid, but integration with Facebook would be nice. About half my friends/work associates are on Twitter and the other half on Facebook. A similar integration would be awesome since I usually post to both simultaneously. Ideally, user can choose separate accounts (like setting up multiple Twitter accts) or adding additional sign-in to a single account that includes FB so you can post to both. I prefer the latter and many I know do this as well.

- I like the idea of a bit.ly (perhaps other) integration - not sure how that would work, but something to think about - nice challenge :-) When using bit.ly, don't forget to allow a user to plugin his/her bit.ly tracking info to so it's fully integrated.

Thanks again and this appears to be a winner for sure so will keep updated and testing.

Now, to figure out how to post w/out replying...

For me I'd love to be able to read tweets from the people I follow that aren't directed at me. That and the 'random thought' type tweet. Most of my crowd just tweet randomly until something catches someone's attention and then we all pile in and comment.

It's good to have my twitterers in the phone book, but an option to shiow/not show in the conversations thread would be nice so I can find the people I sms to.

Ooh, now that you mention it, I was wondering if it was the devel version or something I didn't set right. I only see tweets direct to me as well.

I agree 100% - this is very important. Directed and replies (at least in my world) are maybe 5-10% of total posts (some friends/co-workers post 30-50 random tweets a day to all followers). I also subscribe to a few groups that post many times a day: a lot of news/topics I am interested in. Was interesting that these hadn't sowed up, but they are in my contact list. These are very important must receives for me.

Cheers.

I might be missing something, but is there a way to have direct messages included? and is there a way to send direct messages?

Otherwise, I love it!

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I wanted to start a new thread but I'm not 100% sure how to. This may not be the correct place to say this, and It may have already been covered elsewhere, but I did a forum search, didn't see anything and decided I wanted to share it. This morning when I signed onto Meebo it told me I was connecting to FB through Jabber. Now, i've never recieved that message and I beleive it means that the XMPP client for Facebook may be up and running. If i'm correct that should mean we no longer have to use the pidgin plugin to get the N900 on facebook chat right?

Hello.

Thank you for the great plugin that we all were waiting for.

I have a few thoughts, and of course I'm kind enough to share them with you

- I think the N900 conversations should be used for just that, conversations. Messages directed to @someone. Home screens and other generic views should be a separate widget or something. IMO you shouldn't force it to something it's not.

- You're probably already working on this, but I'll mention it anyway. Contacts in the address book should be at least optional. For me, it just gets too messy.

- Of course direct messages support is a must.

- It would be great if the plugin could also synchronize my replies which I've written from other clients or directly from "web".

Well, can't think of anything else right now. Anyway, thanks for the great plugin, it seems very promising.

A quick feature request if I may. Is it possible to make the plugin pick up replies that have been sent to you from people that you don't follow?

mavit | # 28 | 2009-12-31, 18:39 | Report

Looks good so far!

The plugin shows all of my twitter contacts as being online all of the time. Wouldn't it make more sense to show them as offline?

Is http://code.google.com/p/libpurple-t...ol/issues/list the correct place to report things like this?

rabbitrun84 | # 29 | 2010-01-02, 21:57 | Report

Yes, you can file bugs there. The upstream developer (neaveru) and I will check. There was a very nice feedback regarding to presence status of Twitter contacts, see http://code.google.com/p/libpurple-t...s/detail?id=11

I like the idea, and I hope we could implement it soon.

rabbitrun84 | # 30 | 2010-01-02, 21:58 | Report

I believe it already does that
