I made a blog post over on http://robert.arlesnet.com, and Evan of Identi.ca pointed out to me that I did not link to the new beta version of BeTwittered.  This beta version connects to Identi.ca rather than Twitter.com.  I’ve checked the google directory this morning, and they have still not published it yet, so it’s still not searchable.

The instructions below are no longer needed! :-)  Please see the update below.

For anyone wishing to add the Beta version BeTwittered-Identi.ca gadget now, here are some instructions:
1) click “Add Stuff” on your iGoogle page.
2) click “Add feed or gadget” on the bottom left.
3) paste in the gadget address -> http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/106092714974714025177/IdenticaGadget.xml

Please be patient, as a couple of the gadget features are not working yet.  Identi.ca is still working to expand their feature set, and I’ve not removed some things, like the favorites and direct message tabs.  They (for now) give a false error message.  Identi.ca is NOT causing an error, BeTwittered-Identi.ca IS asking Identi.ca for stuff that doesn’t exist!

Thanks!
Robert

UPDATE: BETA VERSION is now available on iGoogle at this link. The screenshot is still for a twitter gadget, and there are two useless tabs (favorites and directs) that I’ve just not taken out, but the gadget is working.

How did I forget to post about this?  I’m a bit of a flaky geek sometimes.  BeTwittered features now include tabs for viewing replies, your favorites, and direct messages to you.  Admittedly, the tabs are rudimentary right now, but they work.  Sometimes I chose to release features and do the “prettying up” incrementally.  I favor getting features out over application beauty.  There are still a couple of possible additions coming sometime soon…

It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve gotten plenty of email requesting the new features that have finally made their way into BeTwittered.  Most notable are the reply and direct message functions.  The interface also got a bit of an upgrade with nice icons/buttons, and now by clicking the “Show More” button on a tweet, you can get extended info about the sender and the tweet.  The “show more” button, by the way, is how you also get to the reply and direct message buttons.

Next on my plate?  I’m looking to add a “replies” tab so you can see who has sent you a reply.  Also, I will be adding a “back” button so you can page through your tweet history.  This has to wait until Twitter turns this feature back on.  Right now, it’s just not available to us.
