DigTweet 1.2 – Set your Digsby Status via Twitter

July 27, 2008 by Dave
 

I’ve done some retooling of the DigTweet application this weekend.  I decided to drop the whole command line thing, and wrap it up really nicely.  I’ve added some new features that some may find useful.

First off, the menu now contains some useful options:

  • Quickly Enable/Disable automatic updating.
  • Manually update.
  • View settings.
  • View past sync history.

Clicking on View Status Messages will yield the log window:

Updates and Errors will be logged for review.

Clicking on Settings from the tray menu will invoke the all new Settings dialog:

Select the Twitter URL — no need to find your RSS link, just enter your profile URL (e.g twitter.com/davux) and it will be resolved for you.

Choose an update interval, and select whether or not you’d like to cause an update event when a reply is found.

You can also now create a list of words to “ignore.”  These words will automatically reject the tweet regardless of any other settings.

Choose to update Digsby, and or execute a command, or write to a file when an update is found.  DigsbyStatus.exe is no longer required, and a focus bug has been resolved.

DigTweet can now automatically run when windows starts up, and can also optionally start updating upon start.

Updates will be passed down in the form of a message informing you that a new version is available.

Enjoy!

    2. I tried this and it will work the first time I start it up and then after an hour it just logs messages that say “The operation has timed out”

    5. DigTweet looks good – reading through the your explanation I have two comments i) it would be good if there was an ‘only update twitter if’ command, and ii) it would be great if ‘My Status’ in Digsby could be sent to twitter as well.

    Thanks for the great work.

    7. Okay, for half a day this program was the coolest! Now I get “The operation has timed out” a lot. I have tried right clicking and then update now but it gives me a “no updates available” and then more time outs in the log.

    I can quit the program and then restart the entire thing and it does one or two updates…but that is a pain. I would really like for this program to work…I think you have done a great job with its function and design. Do you have a fix for problem this coming?

    blessings,

    8. This is great! I just started using this.

    I was debating over Pidgin or Disby, cause I could accomplish this though Pidgin with a custom plugin, but it was SO hard to configure, I had to write a guide about it…

    This is great. I’m loving it, thanks for your hard work!

    9. I actually wrote a guide on this, because it doesn’t work correctly.

    10. IS there any chance you will make this a two way app so I could change my digsby status and then it would update twitter. Anway I included you on a blog post on my page.
