It’s fairly easy to work with TwitterooCore. Download a sample console application that uses TwitterooCore to get started. There is also TwitterooCore documentation that you can peruse at your leisure. Who doesn’t like to peruse documentation?

Go. Build something cool. Make it available on your website and then send us the link (or leave a comment) so that other Twitterers can check it out. You can use C#, VB.NET or any of the supported .NET languages, so what’s stopping you?

To-do List

• Download the TwitterooCore Library
• Download the sample console application
• Check out the TwitterooCore documentation
• Build something cool for your ASP.NET website
• Optionally, also build a cool Windows application
• Share your new creation with the world!

Since the TwitterooCore Library is totally free, anything you make with it should be free as well.

New Features

• Uses the newest TwitterooCore Library
• Alpha Twitteroo icon updates

Bug Fixes

• Notification window is topmost again

This version of Twitteroo employs the newly free-to-use TwitterooCore Library. If you’re a .NET programmer with an idea for a Windows or ASP.NET application then check out TwitterooCore and make something fun, fantastic and free!

New Features

• Press F5 to refresh the Twitteroo window
• Ctrl + Enter sends the status message (as you type)
• Improved window rendering; now it’s faster and clearer!
• Minor graphical updates and a new icon with alpha transparency
• TwitterooCore API updates

Bug Fixes

• Better UTF8 support; characters will never show up on Twitter.com as question marks

I thought the designer should let you know what’s going on behind the scenes here at RareEdge so I’m giving Eric a break and posting about today’s release.

A Twitteroo facelift from my end includes nicer buttons and better install graphics. Eric pauses on writing his master’s thesis from time to time to make sure Twitteroo is easier to use and that the API is way more hardcore for all of you superdevelopers out there who may want to use it (coming soon!). We’re able to ensure quick turn-around time on all of your requests (like changeable font size) because of my own little secret weapon. Studies show that Eric codes 50% faster when I scratch his head while he types.

Enjoy version 1.2 and please let us know what you think!

Upcoming Feature

• Customizable window colors

New Features

• Customize Twitteroo font size for easy viewing
• Set transparency for main Twitteroo window and notifications
• Optional sound notification when new tweets arrive
• Minor speed and code optimization

Thank you, everyone, for sending us your comments and ideas for features. We added the font size customization functionality in response to a lot of email we received. In addition to that, a lot of users were asking for sound notifications. If you are an audio master and are interested in making some tweet sounds for Twitteroo, please contact Nicole (nicolepauline at gmail dot com). We’re looking for some new sounds!

Check it out, here’s another take on a Twitter Mac widget called Twitterlex and a fun-looking Windows application called Twitteroo. There’s a dozen other cool Twitter Desktop apps and lots of other neat gizmos and gadgets that work with Twitter at the Twitter Fan Wiki.

Thanks for the mention, Biz
