twibble on the Blackberry

thilo — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 16:40:19 +0000

The folks at BBGeeks just posted a great walk through of twibble on the Blackberry. Thank you guys! Just a few additional remarks that might help you to get started quickly: Usually twibble connects to the twitter servers without problems. If not make sure your APN is set correctly. On some networks it also helps to change the Server API root in the twibble Options to ‘http://twitter.com’ (rather than https://twitter.com). Once set up you can flip through your timelines using the left and right keys (or trackball).

as you’ve probalby already noticed the twibble clients got updated once again. Thanks to my friends at The Future of Everything twibble mobile 0.9.19 features the great looking tazaar theme (Check out tazaar.com if you want to buy or sell something on twitter!). You may also want to try the searches triggered by the new items below the ‘links’ submenu. Version 0.9.19 should run on the Blackberry Storm, too. Hotkeys ’5′ and ’8′ are now mapped to Start and End of the tweet list, respectivley.

The new twibble desktop Version 0.5.0 got a slightly different transparent look. It also includes some bug fixes. Replies from the search list are now properly linked to the original tweet.

twibble mobile 0.9.8

thilo — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:12:43 +0000

Another beta of twibble mobile for J2ME enabled phones is available! Despite several bug fixes the new version let’s you to follow user timelines and hashtags (via twitter search). Check out the new menu item ‘open in browser’. And (again) the new version is much faster than before. It fetches tweets, replies and direct messages almost instantly (given a fast network connection and fast twitter response times). And the app is still just about 95 kByte in size!
By default, the new version accesses twitter via http. If you want a secure connection enter https://twitter.com in the ‘Server api root’ field under Options. To try the new version navigate to http://m.twibble.de using your phone browser and follow the installation procedure.
Update: Version 0.9.8 fixes the ‘Connection not Writable’ error on some Blackberry devices and tweet times not updating properly when they move down the tweet list.

twibble mobile 0.9.5

thilo — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 21:20:11 +0000

thanks to all twibble mobile testers we’ve got a new version available. Despite a couple of bug fixes it allows to follow all links in the browser (not just the first one). There is also a new option to specify to auto scroll the tweet list when new messages arrive. Some other features are described in this post. Point your phone browser to http://m.twibble.de and download the latest beta.
A note to SonyEricsson users: Most SE phones don’t seem to accept twitter’s ssl certificate. There are 2 ways to get around the prob: Either you can switch off SSL by entering “http://twitter.com” in server api root or you can try to install a certificate as described by moeffju and Martin Campbell here. Thx for the hints, guys!
