The Splitweet support email receives every day a lot of comments, suggestions, good words (and bad ones) from registered and not yet registered users. From people who don't know how to browse the page to experts who suggest brilliant ideas.
What I want to show here is the list of the most (not necessarily the nicer) requested features that I've found in the inbox several times, so users say...
I want...
- To filter following tweets by account
- A desktop application like Tweetdeck
- A translation in my speaking language
- An application for my iPhone
- An application for Blackberry (the word Storm was heard a lot)
- TinyURL, is.gd, xortr.com and similar link integration
- Exclude my own tweets from the brands' mentions
- To pick the color associated to each account
- An application for Windows Mobile
- Search box for users
- To see new following users
- To schedule tweets
- To show nested conversations (and other similar stuff)
- A Firefox sidebar
- To post via SMS
We won't do everything on the list, at least in short. I want to remark that we are not a company and that we do all this in our spare time, so the development is slow. And, NO we can't promise you a specific date. We do our best, and we are also open to anyone who might help us, specially in the Adobe AIR development, firefox plugin development and translations. The first 3 points in the list are started :)
We also did a lot of stuff based on this kind of comments, just to put ten:
- Enable/disable sound preference
- Show complete name or username preference
- Disable autoupdates preference
- Redesign of the site
- Retweet messages
- Reply messages
- Check the last used account so you can post several times using the same selection
- Stop reloading page if there are new tweets and you are writing something
- Add to favorites and the favorites page
- Warn the user by javascript if no account is selected
And of course Splitweet is now in 11 languages...
