Keynoting at DevLink 2011

I’m honored this year to be the closing keynote speaker for DevLink 2011. I’ve been involved with DevLink in many ways over the past years and when John asked me to keynote, I couldn’t say no. Now the fun part, coming up with something worthy enough to share with a broad audience. I’ve had this...

Witty Twitter 2.1.1 Published

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Internet, PC Software | Posted on 04-02-2009

A minor update to Witty Twitter was just published, version 2.1.1.  You can install the latest version here:

http://keithelder.net/software/witty/witty.application

 

This release fixes a bug whereby users with a large number of followers and friends would see old replies and updates.  Here are the official features and fixes in this release:

  • Feature: Compact URLs on the fly – when you paste a URL into the update window it will automatically shrink the URL if it exceeds the 140 character limit  http://bit.ly/xzfSG
  • Feature: Tweets over 140 chars are now automatically split up –  I used this feature in a conversation on twitter yesterday and it is really nice.  http://bit.ly/16yJX
  • Fix: Typing @ results in $1 followed by twitter name http://bit.ly/12JE2
  • Fix: Login window remains visible after first login http://bit.ly/16aSyT
  • Fix:  Witty making too many API calls http://bit.ly/1urU4S

To update Witty, click on Options and the Updates tab and press “Check for Update”.  If you are a first time installer, then just click this link:

NOTE:

This version doesn’t show 2.1.1 in the window, however if you click on options and updates it should say 2.1.1:

    Check the web site, Alan Le started the project and then myself, Jon Galloway and Scott Koon jumped in.

    I’ve done stuff in Witty but there are a bunch of us that have contributed. Jon has been doing a lot the past month to get some traction.

    The thing I have been doing lately is keep the ClickOnce version I started awhile back up to date so people can easily install it. Less friction than downloading, and running an MSI.
