With much delay, new Twitulater
tl;dr: Go to http://twitulater.com and get the new version
After six grueling weeks of fighting bugs and hardware failure Twitulater alpha1 is finally truly here. Yes you heard right, all the features have been implemented nearly two months ago and the rest was spent finding test rigs and fixing a few horrible bugs.
As a result, Twitulater is now snappier than ever. I dare say it's probably the best performing AIR based twitter client and what's more, it's perhaps the only one using Growl for notifications on both Mac and Windows. Love it! The feature everyone will like the most in this new release, but perhaps not notice at first, is highlighting the people you interact most with. This enables you to notice your friends with a single glance. Amazing!
Another useful feature are conversation threads. You can have an infinite number of simultaneous conversation windows open at a time and new tweets will appear in all of them all at once. Woot! No more trying to pick a conversation interspersed with hundreds of tweets, no more clicking like a madman trying to follow the crumbs. Twitulater does it all for you.
What else, the more tech savvy of you might notice that Twitulater is now plugins based and you can actually disable plugins you don't need. Uploading files will never fail again because there's always another file handling plugin to fallback on. TwitPic not working? Shrani.si will take care of it. Naturally, there will be even more plugins developed soon. Very soon.
Oh another thing. Remember those times when you just can't fit your thoughts into 140 characters? ShrinkTweet and TwitLonger will take care of that. Both options present themselves when you're being a bit too wordy and you can choose which better solves the problem. Wow!
Now that I've got you all fired up and happy, go download Twitulater alpha1 from http://twitulater.com (it's been redesigned a bit, see if you can notice it)
