Some Twitterrific Scripts for Overloaded Twitterers

If you're a heavy user of twitter, you know how overwellming it can be. Twitterrific is a great (Mac) program, but sometimes all those tweets in that one little window are bit too much. For a while I've been using a script which grabs all the unread tweets in Twitterrific and brings up a browser window with them. Yes, this seems a bit silly—why not just go to the twitter site? The main reason is that this window contains just the tweets I haven't read. But also, I have more control over how they are displayed. If people actually find it useful, I'll see if I can't provide template support so that it's easy to customize how your tweets display. Let me know in the comments.

The second tool is more recent. There's been a lot of buzz about Pownce lately, and people have been facing that far too frequent question of "how do I manage postings on multiple social networks. There are some applications that can handle both, but they aren't Twitterrific… So I wrote this little application which monitors Twitterrific and every time it sees a post that you have made, it resends it to Pounce. Since this was a quick-and-dirty application, it doesn't actually do the hard work itself. For that it uses MoodBlast. So if you want to use this one, you'll need to download MoodBlast as well. (That has some added advantages, which I describe in more detail on the software page.)

So if either of those sound interesting, you can check them out here, on the TechnoSocial software web site.
