Greg, it’s all on our to-do list for the next update to the gadget.

Great gadget, but a few comments. As already shown above, font size is at the top of my list. It would be nice to have a button to show DM’s and would also be nice to be able to DM someone from the feed. Fully adjustable height would be awesome. Keep up the good work!

Yo. I concur on the retweet function. It’s never worked for me. Another thing you might do is add an option for a ‘mega version’ of the gadget. I hand edited the gadget to be 950 pixels high to take up the entire side of one sidebar ‘window’. Now I can see more tweets at a time and not have to scroll as much. Maybe that could be a 5th option in the future? Just a thought.

Pete, we’ll eventually get DMs and favorites into the interface, not sure when, but it’s on our list.

Just realised that I am not getting incoming DMs. Apart from that, it’s really useful to have it in Vista Sidebar.

Nicki, are you behind a firewall or proxy? The gadget has a known issue with that. We’re going to work on it for the next version.

Dave, rate limit is the number of calls the gadget can make to Twitter in a certain period of time, usually 150 calls in an hour though we’ll have to double check the limit again since it may have changed since the gadget went out. If you’re maxing out your limit, you might have something else taxing it like another app or program or even gadget. It’s 150 per user, so that would explain any non-update errors you’re getting. Try re-adding the gadget to the sidebar to confirm, but you may have something else leeching your calls on you.

What is up with the rate limit? What does this mean? Mine shows 150/150 and I haven’t had an update in over 5 hours. Is this something that is mandated by Twitter or something in the addon?

thanks.

We’ll see what we can do about the re-tweet feature, they may have changed something in the API. We’ll consider lists as an added feature, but we’ll need to know more about how they’re implemented first.
