Doing comments first on Twitter with Twickie

Great concept – but the value totally depends on the number of followers one has, right? How can this be extended?

The only issue I have with it is that it doesn’t automatically capture the actual tweet itself. If I were designing v2, I would add the originating tweet, and show replies as nested (or a smaller size). But it just works. Copy HTML, Paste. Post.

it is writing blog posts backwards, but it also makes the writer more interesting because they have a sense of what the audience needs

Good stuff,Twitter should embed it.

Louis, yeah – it’ll take a bit more logic to do that, as the user may not want the original tweet in the thread. I had to stop myself from adding features on this one before it was released.

I kind of wish you could use this, but for a search query. Like, if you wanted to see all the tweets about a subject, or a hashtag, if you use them.

Thanks, for the tool. Feature idea: Allow users to create a “black list” of spammer to remove from the list of comments.

It looks like a very cool concept.

I agree with Jeff. Could the service possibly be extended to #hashtags?

Fantastic example of people innovating with Twitter. Pirillo is a genius.

Service is really nice and useful. However i found that it’s not accurate. It is not giving me the exact conversion details. I tried to get my conversion with al3x and it is not giving me accurate tweets of those conversation. I guess one can use twitter search to get conversion, however it wont give the ability to extract them

Such an interesting tool. It’s getting really intriguing watching the various forms of social media collide…

I doubt that will help me to popularized my name my brands or anything that something to do with me,I don’t have much follower and I rarely do twitt to stay connected with other,so rather the called this is cool innovation I rather called this innovation that “follow”,

You should go all video-blogging.

Written blog irrelevance increases in proportion to posting frequency.

Otherwise, great interviews: you capture the still-very-present excitement that is the ever-expanding bubble of technological progress and development.

Cheers.

“…I watched Robert Scoble use Twickie the other night and it was really terrific – especially if you’re another blogger or writer who wishes to compile content – or a business owner or non-profit exec who wants to poll via Twitter and quickly compile responses…”

I like this a tool a lot. I’m a big fan of generating blog posts from Twitter conversations, both spontaneous and planned (ask an open question.) It is a big difficult to define a conversation though. Look at the following discussion I had on sharing OPMLs:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+OPML+OR+opmls+from:daveferrick

While it’s one discussion that happened in a short time period, t’s comprised of 4 “conversations”, through @ replying and retweeting. Is there a way to bind these conversations without relying on a hash tag? A time span constraint?

I’m not a big fan of surrendering my password.

Since when is copy-pasting HTML code real easy? Yeh in the 90′s it was.
Sounds a bit old fashioned really.

New words

Tweetybirds – obsessive Twitter posters who “tweet” every mundane detail and thought in their lives.

Sylvesters – “cats” who don’t “get” Tweetybirds. Usually non-Twitter-using pundits or tech fogeys.

Cranes – followers constantly checking for any Tweetybirds’ latest tweets.
