With the twitter API changing around bit, GEO, ReTweet's etc... Do you want to have anything else included in the Twitter for Umbraco package or is simply just listing your recent tweets simply enough?
What's the relevance of your post re 'twitter for umbraco' package?
umbraco has a decent search functionality. It's Lucene based and I've used it in a couple of projects and so far haven't experienced big issues. Also, there's 'Simple search 4 umbraco', xslt search, and from v4.1 umbraco Examine (which can be used on pre v4.1 releases as well)
As to wasting money on umbraco.tv? Don't get your point, it's only 19EUR/month, can cancel your subscription at any time (You can even play those 35 video's in a single month...)
And there's this wonderful community which offers FREE help on almost any question regarding umbraco.
One may have different expectations though, which I truly respect!
@Vipul I think Warren is referring specifically to the twitter package.
As for me, my v7 wishlist would include a custom section that basically had a twitter client in it, with publishing, saved searches, capabilities for multiple twitter accounts (for "brand/reputation management") etc. I don't want much ^^
As it stands, it already does exactly what it says in the tin. Including Geo info in tweet xml might allow for a cool mapped frontend to feeds...
There are some tweets I'm happy to share with friends and some that I would prefer not to appear on my site.
What about some kind of hash tag filter that allows you to tag the tweets you want to appear in your site feed?
So you write something like "this is my tweet #t4u" your code would then filter out any tweets that don't include the #t4u - you might even get a trend on the tag!
Hiya Barn, Just so I get this right you want to use something like a regular expression to filter your tweets?
The only problem I see with that in the API is that for example you can only request 200 items in the XML feed (from what I remember off the top of my head) and say that in those 200 items you do not have any items that match your regular expression, your site will show no latest tweet.
I may be otherthinking it right now (still bit jetlagged) so feel free to put me wrong, but the most common way people handle work and personal tweets are two seperate accounts and 99% of twitter clients support multiple accounts including TweetDeck
I haven't looked at the Retweets API, but is something I would need to look into first.
I haven't personally built rolling tweets, which I presume you mean 'streaming tweets' like in TweetDeck for example. I think there is some information in the streaming api on the Twitter API developer site.
I suppose the question I would ask you is the website you are building, require you to display the tweets immediately?
Any feature requests?

@dandryne your request has been done - I hooked up the geo info in the twitter XML to use a simple Google Static Map.
Warren :)
Nice! Great for supporting http://www.georss.org/Main_Page as well. Quick work!
I don't hang about ;)
Hey Wazza, just a vote for reweets. Nice one :)
Got another idea :)
