I’ve got a new version of Twitter Tools ready to go, but wanted to do a quick release candidate to get some wider testing before doing the general 2.0 release.

I’ve seen a few reports of the “exclude replies” feature not working in the 1.6b1 release. This appears to be due to a change in the data returned by the Twitter API. The tweet data used to always include a message being “replied to” if the tweet started with @username. This is no longer the…

Twitter-SPAM is on the rise, and I include RTs (re-tweets) in the SPAM bucket. I made a snarky remark about this a couple days back – and sure enough, it got re-tweeted. To mix my metaphors, RTs increase the noise part of the signal to noise ratio in what can already be a rather noisy…
I’ve heard from a number of people that have had trouble with the digest features in the current version of Twitter Tools. I’m guessing that there are a couple of bugs in there that are causing the problems. At this time, the digest features of Twitter Tools should be considered experimental and should not be…
I’m pushing out another new version of Twitter Tools to address some problems people are having.

Made the error message when the login fails more explicit (removed debug info). Made the link to the…
