The “Toolbar”
Feedback:
This is just link to make it convenient for you to send us a nastygram, question, or praise about how BeTwittered has simply changed your whole life.
Refresh:
Want to update your friends timline? It does refresh automatically, every few minutes, but you can force a refresh when you are feeling a little anxious and lonely. Careful, though. Twitter only allows 70 per hour. You may cut yourself off for a few minutes if you get overzealous.
Settings:
- Display Pictures. These are on by default. BeTwittered does not look as nice without them, but you’ll get more room for your friends messages, and it looks less like you are goofing off at work without them.
- Display Timestamps. These are also on by default. You may want to turn off timestamps to save space if you are on a small screen.
Logging Out:
This is also under Settings. Purposely hidden here so you, well actually, so *I* wouldn’t click it accidentally since the gadget is paced in a bit tight. Logging out clears your user name and password that are stored on your computer (password is stored in a cookie, but it is encrypted) It does not clear your other settings.
Character count:
The character count (or countdown, to be more accurate) is right under the “Tweet!” button. It’s there as a way to judge how much you are spouting off, and how much more you will be allowed to spout off before Twitter will viciously hack off the end of your message. Twitter only allows 140 characters per “tweet” due to the limits in using SMS from cell phones.
