Minor update (for real this time)

For some reason a few weeks ago we listed these bugs/features as pushed out, even though they weren't. Sorry about that. They are now!

  • [Feature]: When you go to retweet an official retweet, it doesn't look like a chain retweet any more so you get a better feel of what is happening.
  • [Feature]: We now support tweet entities for timeline and mentions. This means that when Twitter switch on t.co for all tweets, Twitterfall will match what Twitter.com displays.
  • [Feature]: We now support expanding goo.gl addresses
  • [Bug]: When you click to logout of Twitterfall, the login button now reappears properly.
  • [Bug]: When loading lists (subscribed or own) if there is a failure the text changes back from 'Loading...' like it should (thanks Ben)

Spammy services and Twitterfall

At Twitterfall we (obviously) use Twitter every day, and use Twitterfall every day. We've observed what others are talking about, that apps are writing to Twitter without user understanding or approval. Not only that but lots of people just let these services spam their followers with unwanted tweets ('I've become the mayor of...' etc.).

As you may know, Twitterfall has supported global exclusions for some time. This means that you can filter out spammers, or certain terms (e.g. 'free xbox'). Now we've gone one step further to help you filter your Twitterfall.

You can now exclude services from your Twitterfall.

To do this, simply add 'service:badservice' to your exclusions. You can see what services tweets come from by viewing them on Twitter.com.

Massive Twitterfall for iPhone update!

Today we have pushed out a brand new version of Twitterfall for iPhone. Not only has it been completely rewritten from the ground up, but it also has plenty of new features. In particular:

  • It now supports multiple accounts (timeline, mentions, and tweeting), and multiple searches.
  • It's lightning fast to load, and because it's been completely rewritten scrolling is super- smooth, even on an iphone 3G.
  • Tapping on a hashtag shows you a preview of some tweets containing that hashtag.
  • Persistent view of tweets when you close the app.
  • The same great Twitterfall-style timeline view.

We've designed the Twitterfall app to do what you normally use Twitter for really well, rather than adding loads of unnecessary features. Huge thanks to Mike Tomasello for working with us to bring our iPhone app up to date!

Check it out on the App Store, available for just 59p ($0.99), where you will find screenshots and some more information.
