I have used many twitter tools and I really like the sound of this one. Thanks for making it.

I just joined twitter myself a couple of weeks ago and have over 150 follwers, I think its a great way to build up a social network and promote a website, what your proposing would be awsome. I hope you can do it!

Twitter is an invaluable tool for giving folks a bit of insight into who you are as a professional and a person. I especially like the direct tweet option, which lets me pass along wites and links to specific friends of mine. It’s like handing your boss a useful news article she might not yet have seen – only you get to do it online instead!

Great idea. This type of application is available on facebook so makes sense to have it on twitter

I’m four years ahead of you, Rainer, so age is no excuse

Twitter is a great networking tool to keep up with people in your areas of interest, or even for keeping up with local, regional, or national news. You can get CNN Breaking News alerts, for example. When you start looking around, you’ll find people using Twitter in all sorts of interesting ways.

It’s easy to wave it off as simply some sort of hybrid between IM, IRC, email, and “micro blogging”, but it’s really more than just that. Especially when you start exploring some of the search tools that have sprung up around the Twitter API.

I am still not on twitter – now you start writing tools for that platform and I feel kind of on the edge. Damn, I thought this tool is for teens?
Am I to old for the party (38y) or does it make sense to assimilate?

OAuth is high on my list, as are adding easy links for adding/removing/viewing/twitualizing other users from the lists.

My main problem right now is just finding time to make the next set of changes. I’m hoping to refactor the code next week so that I can add the AJAXy progress meters, at the very least. I also need to make things more MVC-oriented and separate out the code from the HTML a little more. That will set me up for improving the user lists visually and functionally.

Thanks for the feedback!
