Twittering with BlogBridge
As you saw in my previous post, we are really excited about getting Twitter support into BlogBridge. I think it’s an absolutely perfect extension to what BlogBridge does. I feel there is (or will be) an almost exact overlap between people who need BlogBridge and people who choose to either create or follow Tweets.
So, as promised, here’s our current concept of what Twittering with BlogBridge might look like:
- A new Twitter SmartFeed which will allow the full suite of twitter queries to be specified just like Twitter itself
- Twitter results are displayed in a Twitter and BlogBridge appropriate way, not duplicating the title and the body, with appropriate treatment of # and @ tags, etc.
- Hovering over a @name tag will display profile information for the person. Right clicking it will offer some commands like follow, unfollow, message, message, and so on.
- A “Tweet This” command displays a standard tweet box, optionally pre-filled out with the text that was selected, including automatic tinyurl support
- Other microblogging services can be supported by writing a microblogging plug in for BlogBridge.
