Twitter Notifier

By Ikaros — Uploaded May 30, 2009

Summary:

Simple notifier for Twitter that displays a notification about every minute with the most recent tweet on your friends timeline ("wall").

Currently requires authentication when the browser first launches - kinda annoying, yea, but I'm working on a fix using Jetpack's Twitter API.

This was a first attempt at Jetpack and use the of Twitter's API so it almost certainly isn't perfect.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas, comments, concerns, help, etc.

FUTURE FEATURES (Possibly. Some of these might be broken off into other Jetpacks.)

Count of tweets since last notification. (coming soon, like tomorrow)

Inline tweeter for sending tweets. (coming soon, just waiting on Jetpack API to support storing of passwords.)

Profile picture scaling? (dependent on Jetpack API, I'll see what customization options they give for notifications, if any.)

Inline ticker with tweets? (This would just scroll the tweets pulled within the last minute. Might add an option for turning off notification in case you just want the ticker.)

CHANGELOG

[v0.3] Now shows profile pictures in the notifications. Some cleanup.
[v0.2] Clicking the statusbar icon wouldn't open Twitter as it should - does now.
