I created TweetPow (free) as showcase of couple UI components included with DotNetBar for Windows Forms, but little app took life of its own and it has been very popular with thousands of downloads. Recently I published an update that adds some nice features that you’ve been asking for.
With this update as you move mouse over tweets, you will see the 3 small buttons displayed next to the tweet that allow you to:
- Reply to tweet
- Send direct message to author of the tweet
- Received notifications when author posts new updates
This 3rd option is very nice. Now you can be notified on new updates by authors you choose. The notifications will be standard Windows notifications in system tray, or if you use Growl notification system, TweetPow will display Growl notifications. Nice!
I use TweetPow every day and find it very useful. For my needs it is the best Twitter app. Well, that’s not suprising since I created it for my own usage 🙂
So, there you have it. New TweetPow, try it, you might like it. It is free.
Like the look of the app, and i love the Growl For Windows hooks – but why is there no way to mark a tweet as a favorite? this is such a simple/mandatory feature… if i missed it let me know so i can reinstall.
(on that note, why is there not a link to the uninstaller in the start menu, that is just frustrating :P)
No way to make favorites, because I don’t use that Twitter feature 🙂 I will log this as feature request.
Regarding uninstaller, you can uninstall from Add/Remove programs in Windows. The Windows App Design Guidelines actually specifically state that uninstaller link should not be added to start menu so I just haven’t bothered with it. There is auto-update though so you can new updates automagically.
