Vinod – great feedback. Thank you. We called the button “Tweet” to follow terminology Twitter is using on their website, to minimize learning curve. Your argument of being consistent with Outlook is a good one as well.

An ability to save tweet drafts – we’ll discuss it. Tweets very short, so not sure how many people would benefit from this feature.

Thanks again!

I do use the Alt-T. So I have a couple more suggestions(bear with me since I really like Twinbox and want to help make it even better).

Can the “Tweet” button be renamed to “Send” with the “s” being the hotkey? This is to make it consistent with the rest of Outlook where if I need to send a mail/appointment/meeting/etc. I simply press Alt-S.

Also, can we have offline tweet support where pressing Ctrl-S “saves” the tweet to send later?

Hi Vinod,

Thanks for your feedback!

1. We used this tab order on purpose, so that it is easy to tab to the @ and # buttons for inserting names and tags into a new message. You can always hit “Alt+T” to post a tweet (Alt+T triggers the “Tweet” button).

2. Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll consider it for a future version.

Hi,
As a long time user of TwinBox, I love the new update. I have a few sugesstions though with the new features.

1. The “@” and “#” buttons ruin the tab order for posting a tweet. Earlier I could type something and press and it would post the tweet. Now I need to press thrice. Some small reourdering would be nice.

2. I love the new functionality. However it would be really nice if it could mimic the Outlook name suggesstion thing. For instance if I type “@” in the post window, it could bring up a autosugesst lilst. Same goes for the “#”. Can this be done?

Thanks very much for the “Sorting retweets into recipient folders” fix in 2.0.1.111. I was one of those who requested that change. You have a great product AND you are responsive to the needs of your users.
