Well hopefully Mike Filsaime is tracking conversations though it isn’t always easy on multiple mentions.

Generally most AIR apps are sluggish unless you have a large amount of memory. I used to create quite useful software on a 32K BBC Micro, and serious stuff on a 1MB Amiga – memory use these days is sick.

That being said, I am trying very hard not to multitask these days, and might fire up Tweetglide for 15 mins and then shut it down.

cheers Andy ..

really like the concept of this but it is sluggishly slow on my machine, to the point of being non-usable. also run other Air apps, such as Woopra, which behave better.

.. it’s not sooo bad when in normal use (still 25-40% CPU, 130mB RAM) but as soon as I play with options, such as adding an ad, CPU shoots up to 70%. of course, i can’t justify the time taken waiting, at least when using this laptop.

i wonder if the programming may be tightened up a bit? realise this isn’t your programme, but note that Mike is part of the community here.

Some of the SEO stuff still isn’t fixed, for instance they still only store the last 50 tweets and haven’t got pagination links working yet, but they have a very long todo list to implement.

You can always set up an account and ignore the advertising side completely, in fact if you are not in internet marketing and select that option at the start, you won’t even be offered the advertising packages, and your applicaiton will have ads switched off to start.

OKOK, tx Andy .. you hooked me.

.. have to say tho, at first play I prefer Hootsuite (which just enabled FB and L’in Tweets today), but that’s cos HS is online and doesn’t do that repetitive Air freeze thing that is so prone to lightweight laptops like mine, even runnin Linux.

Still .. anything for SEO, Mike’s is a nice model, so appreciate the tip, and I hope to earn you many ads along the way .. now then, where’s that naughty link :P

Twitter and AdSense together in one combination!! Wow :)
There are loads of ways in which Twitter can be used to earn money, provided a user known what he’s doing. Considering the thousands of people who think just tweeting is all it takes to convert people to their products, there is a lot of wrong things people think!
However, this one’s a real gem of a tool. We just need to wait and see if it takes off like it should!

Site design will be changing significantly in the coming weeks, only have full content currently because I switched off my functions.php but seems my code wasn’t the security concern.

A clarification:

“site takes a lot of time for loading” does not mean your host VPS’s servers are slow. I only mean to suggest that your home page has a lot of content. Look at the sidebar scroll; it become so small that is why!

Andi if possible, please install a comment reply subscription plugin here. Thanks.

Some off topic suggestions Andy:

The site takes a lot of time for loading; I wish you use the more tag/excerpts on home page instead of showing the full tags.

This thematic theme is a very nice one! :)

I haven’t looked into TweetGlide until I read this post, and I must say I’m quite impressed. The blog and customization features are what stick out to me most. I’m interested to see how the app evolves and how it changes the Twitter experience. It’s definitely worth giving a try. Thank you for your detailed explanation.
