Top 15 Features requested by Splitweet users

{

}

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...

Comments Top 15 Features requested by Splitweet users

I'm dying for a desktop version for OS X, or a pop out version of some sort that makes it easier to leave Splitweet running in the background. Any idea what the ETA is on something like that?

Keep up the good work guys. We all appreciate the work you're doing to provide this free service!

A desktop version that runs on OS X 10.4 & doesn't require AdobeAir!

My biggest frustration is being taken back to the dashboard after I reply to a comment from my brands or replies list. I'd like to be returned to the page I reply from. Also, why the three page limit on followed tweets?

Overall great job. I appreciate your efforts.

Hi Bob,

there is no 3 pages limit, but there is an algorithm that mixes all the followed accounts in a given date. Probably one account of yours has reached the last tweet and the others stop working, I should look at it. While reading this i was browsing splitweet.com/page/7 ...

Thank you :)

Click tracking and tweet scheduling. those are two features that another service has, but I still prefer the splitweet interface, so I haven't switched away yet.

I'll second the tinyurl integration and some type of follower management.

Those all might be "pro" features worth paying for too.

Being able to create groups for different types of accounts would be nice

Also to toggle which accounts to tweet to. (Select all, etc.)

Well your guys' stuff is great. I like the app and I've been using it for a little while. I think the features requested are great and would really polish up the program. However I would much rather see work done in improving the current features before adding new one.

Some sort of caching would help a little (maybe?), it seems to take a long time to move from tab to tab within the app and I think performance is more important than bells and whistles. I don't mind using tinyurl extension for example for FF and just do that manually so long as I dont ahve to wait 10 seconds for the page I requested to load. The client thing is cool but I don't care much for it since I use the 3 major OS' heavily and don't expect an app to work the same in all 3.

To simulte an app I would use a single site browser like Fluid or Chrome. But thats just my $.02. Thanks for putting this out anyway, you guys are doing awesome.

Hey Oscar,

There is caching right now, but probably expires before you click again. Think that users want to see FRESH content, that makes us to cache for 90 seconds or so.

If you have a lot of accounts then you have to wait for all the background twitter calls to create the dashboard. We could make the web fly, but it wouldn't be fresh...

You are right that sometimes in some cases the dashboard response is slow... we will have to look for a mid-term.

Thanks for your comments, and the sinle site browser is a good idea. :)

maybe have the brands show in individual sections : "brand 1" = "box 1" and so on (would make it easier if you have many brands)

I'm a brand new user to Splitweet (less than 24 hours) and I LOVE it! I manage 4 Twitter accounts and this has been very helpful to see them all in one place. I'm getting used to the color coding, too. It would really be cool to have the avatar instead of the color, but that's so minor.

I like it better than Tweetdeck (which really slows my computer down), but the only thing I miss is the ability to "Group" the people I am following so I can really keep up with certain people and not miss their tweets in all the traffic.

Keep up the great work! :-D

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Is there a way for Splitweet to automatically know which account I want to respond from? For example, if I click on a tweet to reply I won't always know which acount they are listed with so how do I know which one to reply from?

By now Splitweet remembers your last used account(s). It doesn't matter what are you doing, it just remembers your last selection and assumes you want to reply/retweet/tweet with it.

A major feature that would really be useful would be to have the ability to cluster / group selectable twitter accounts together in to a catagory.

This way when messages need to be sent out to say just "Europe" twittter accounts then all you would need to do is select that catagory "Europe" and your tweet would be sent to all those twitter user accounts. It can be used in other ways too.

This would make life easier than having to select each user from your twitter accounts check box to send tweets out to if you have lots of accounts!

Number 6 would be great. Integrate a solution to shortening URLs. This forces me back to TweetDeck.

For me, the only thing missing from Splitweet is the URL shortening. I prefer tr.im.

Thanks for the service and all the work you do.

I'd like to be able to block people. At the moment I can follow/unfollow but there doesn't appear to be a block option. Some people who follow me I really don't want showing up on my followers list.

Seems like you could kill a few birds with one stone using Adobe Air.

Hey i love the site, i use it every day and it's brilliant, so cheers! the only time i switch back to the normal site is when i have to block/remove people.

So thanks very much and keep up the great work!

Thanks so much for this wonderful service. It is fast and easy to use. Occasionally I need to schedule tweets, so for that I use another service, but I prefer Splitweet otherwise. I see that you have added "shorten URL" link -- cuil! If I were to request something, it would be to schedule treats. In any event, I appreciate your work and the fact that you are doing this for free. Bravo!

Thanks for your wonderful service. Most of the time, internet activities consume an unbelievable amount of our time. This service helps to save lots of precious time. Please keep up the good work.

Hats off for a geat service, website and keep up the good work.

Great site but it'd be even better if brand mentions didn't include your own accounts. It is hard to filter through and find actual mentions if you are managing many accounts that follow each other.

Please consider implementing this change soon! Thanks :]

Hey whatever language splitweet uses, I will code the "brand mentions shouldn't include one's own tweets" for you, free of charge. I want it so badly :(

how can I retweet mssgs from splitweet ??

To retweet click on the "recycle" icon when the mouse is over a tweet.
