BeTwittered gets a new feature, and some nice changes
Filed Under internet, social, twitter, web | 3 Comments
This morning, a new version of BeTwittered went live. Because it’s web based the update is automatic, so if you already use BeTwittered, you’ll just get the updates. For most people, the obvious change will be the addition of time-stamps. If you don’t like having them, you can turn them off in the “settings” - FYI - Pictures can be turned off, too. Now, someone (I won’t mention a name, but it rhymes with “Steve”) noted that at some screen resolutions, BeTwittered didn’t “wrap” well, so made it hard to read Tweets without having to scroll around the screen. I checked it out, and it was truly a pain, and ugly. I’ve fixed the text area so it resizes, so BeTwittered should now look a LOT better for anyone that had this issue before. Happy Tweeting.

New Features Added to BeTwittered
Filed Under internet, social, twitter, web | 7 Comments
Last night, some updates went into the released version of BeTwittered. Two features are added. The first is that replies and any other “@username” reference is now highlighted, and clickable. Clicking an @username reference will now take you directly to that persons Twitter home page. Also, there is now a settings page. Click on settings, and you’ll get, currently, two options: You can choose to logout of twitter, and you can choose to turn off user pictures in the timeline.
Related news: It appears that google may have fixed an issue they were having with their gadget directory. Since last night, BeTwittered and “Amazon Top 10 Geek/Tech Books” are showing up again. This means you can use “add stuff” on your Google homepage to get these gadgets again (and a whole lot of others that were also missing)
