so do we have to use yfrog in this version? Or is it optional?
November 3, 2009 at 3:03 pm
So we have to buy each new update as if it was a new application? Seems a little unfair to me. I was going to upgrade, but now I’m thinking I’ll wait a bit.
November 3, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Keri – mine updated for free just fine.
New version looks great!
November 3, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Is there going to be support for Lists?
November 3, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Excellent update. Really enjoying the the landscape option.
November 3, 2009 at 3:25 pm
@Keri The “Updates” manager showed a price for the update, but wouldn’t actually let me download it. I then went into the App Catalog and was able to download the update for free. So it might just be a Pre glitch that makes it look like an additional payment is needed for the update.

Working great :)

Thanks for the update, Tweed is amazing! I love using Tweed every single day, it is always open on my phone and I use it more than I text! Which is pretty insane considering how much I do text. Anyway, I just wanted to recommend a feature that should be implemented soon to compete with Twee is being able to stay in the app while looking at TwitPics. It really sucks to have to open the full TwitPic site every time I want to view a picture. If you guys could make it so Tweed can native view posted pictures, that would be amazing. One last thing, THEMES! I know you said your working on it and I can’t wait! Just make sure there is a dark/black theme :D

Keegan – There is already inline TwitPic support. If the link is in the tweed, a picture icon appears in the upper right of the tweet. Click anywhere in the tweet that is not a link, and on the list of actions, one is called Photos. Select that and the pic displays inside Tweed.
One change to this that would be nice is support for landscape mode in the pic view. Otherwise, love the update. Tweed was the first Twitter client I got for my Pre and I haven’t looked back!
November 3, 2009 at 4:15 pm
@Ubqtous Thanks, that worked perfectly. I guess we have to go through the app catalog and not the update app.
November 3, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Thanks for the update! Do you have any plans to integrate the brand new lists feature into Tweed?
November 3, 2009 at 7:53 pm
love some of the tweaks you did with this update. cant wait till you get lists on the app. that will be a glorious day! :)
Thanks again!

Conversation support is broken for me :( “Error from Twitter: Sorry, you are not authorized to see this status.”
Also I would love to see img.ly support for photos – from what I can tell, it’s just better than the others.
November 4, 2009 at 8:10 am
Loving the new update. I don’t see the exact practical use of landscape mode, but it sure is pretty.
The new reply system that shows the tweet being replied to is great!
Tweed seems to load faster as well.
Two things I’m still looking for:
Tweed doesn’t always refresh after a new tweet. This is annoying and something I didn’t notice on Tweed free.
It would also be great if we could get a “reply all” feature to send a reply to everyone mentioned in a tweet.
Otherwise, great job Pivotal!

I am having issues deleting one of the accounts that I run on Tweed. I recently changed the username and Tweed won’t allow me to log back into the account to delete it.
Any suggestions?
November 5, 2009 at 8:52 am
@Shane, you might have to delete Tweed and reinstall. We know that is a a really bad option, but there is a bug that makes the Delete button inactive when the user account can’t be loaded
November 5, 2009 at 9:42 am
@Joey Zambrano — completely optional, just the default. Tap the App Menu, Pref&Acct to change
November 5, 2009 at 9:42 am
@Brandon Siegel, is it broken on all conversations? Email us at tweed-support@pivotallabs.com and we can work through it with you.
November 5, 2009 at 9:44 am
For those interested in lists, it is something we are planning but not sure on timing.
November 5, 2009 at 9:44 am
Notifications no longer work after upgrading to webOS 1.3.1.
November 16, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Any way to buy the full version of Tweed with out going through app catalog? Im in europe, we dont have paid apps in catalog yet.
November 17, 2009 at 8:18 am
@Kevin W.
Please try resetting notifications. Tap app menu, pref&acct, toggle notifications off, reboot phone, then turn them back on. This is sometimes necessary after a webos update.
November 17, 2009 at 10:50 am
@Kenneth,
Sorry, but we can only distribute through the app catalog, so you won’t be able to get the paid version until Palm allows paid apps in Europe.
November 17, 2009 at 10:51 am
@Christian Is there any information on when paid apps will be available in Europe / Germany? I’m very eager for Tweed 1.1.1! :)
November 23, 2009 at 7:00 am
is there any possible way to add a picture too your twitter profile?
December 13, 2009 at 11:00 pm
I have a lot of problems posting pics to twitpic or yfrog – mostly, I hit “tweet this” and it’s gone off to the abyss, there’s no pic upload status or “outbox” – the little notification just goes away regardless if the tweet is posted or not. I’ll send something, then put the phone in my pocket, and it turns out the photo never got posted, no error message telling me what happened. what gives?
that said, text works fine.
