What’s missing from Twikini
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009As I said in my tweet, I don’t pay for software that doesn’t do what I think it should.
I’ve been using Twikini — a Twitter client for Windows Mobile, and here’s what’s missing: TWEETS.
Oh sure, I can get twenty of them. Or I can get fifty or 100 or even 200. Here’s a screen shot of where you set that:
There are two problems with this approach.
1. If I shut off my device at 5:15 and turn it back on at 5:30 to see more tweets, I don’t care about numbers of tweets, I want every tweet from 5:15 to 5:30 — no more, no less. I don’t care if it’s three or 300, I want to stay up-to-date with my tweets.
2. Let’s stay I’m starting up from scratch, and perhaps in that case Twikini can only get the last N tweets. There is no way for me to ask Twikini to go back in time and get the previous N, and the N before that, and the N before that, the way Twittter’s own mobile web interface lets me do.
A solution to both of these problems would be ideal, but at a minimum, the second feature is an absolute must-have. I hope they’ll consider these as future enhancements. If they do, they’ll certainly have optical communicationsme as a future paying customer.
