The latest version has a bug in combination with the #. When one has text such has "I am writing something about #keyword, also I am bored" - when I now klick on "#keyword" the Twitter Search searches for "#keyword,". Happens with other characters like ":" too.

bluntly said-- i dont like the new name. i have no association to mac or iphone whatsoever and it is just sad to have a forced iphone/mac feel for people who dont even use either of them.

as i made my own twitterfox style, i have no problem to overwrite all of the 'new' echofon design and i'm back to good old twitterfox, a twitter icon in statusbar and no mention of 'echofon' anywhere. thanks a lot for being opensource.

New name: Meh. I can live with it.

New icon: Terrible. Bland circle now gets lost with all the other icons in the status bar and doesn't visually have a damn thing to do with Twitter.

Suggestion: Short URLs by default cwhen you click the "Insert current tab's URL" button

Did you try pressing the down arrow key while you are on Echofon for Firefox?

Another big thing which is now makin me miss Twitterfox and simply hate Echofon is that it doesn't show me all the tweets recieved it the number is above 20. I have noticing it shows only 20 tweets even if I have recieved 80 or 199. Please see to that, if this continues I will have to look for alternative software which i wud absolutely hate to do :x

All our apps are now called Echofon, including TwitterFox. We think of "fon" as "fun", not as "phone".

I don't want my Twitterfox tweets to say they come from Echofon. I want nothing to do with iPhone apps.

TaQ

We had to modify the license agreement to accommodate the sync feature.

King Rat

We'll think about it. Thanks for your suggestion.

The icon does look like the Quicktime icon. But eh, whatever.

However, I really would like a filtering mechanism. I.e., filter out tweets by someone or containing certain words/hashtags for a period of time. The first statusbar twitter app that has that gets my permanent install.

It's just me or seems that the Echofon's Software License Agreement (https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-BR/firefox/addons/policy/0/5081/58912?src=addondetail) is a little more complicated than Twitterfox? Specially the "Transmission of Data" part.

Bad name choice, it sounds old and awkward. And TwitterFox users are feeling abducted, thanks for letting us know beforehand...

2009-09-19T10:15:43.263-07:00

We'll look into the multiple account contamination issue.

We are working on the sync between multiple Firefox extensions and hope to be able to add the feature in the near future.

2009-09-18T20:25:36.202-07:00

I am also a Firefox-only user (no iPhone) using the client at home and at work, so I also see no benefit to the new changes. It seems like a simple REST interface could help TwitterFox (sorry, habit!) to sync as well, no?

2009-09-18T11:27:42.623-07:00

What about those of us who don't have an iPhone, don't want one, and don't care? I just want to tweet from Firefox!

2009-09-18T08:15:11.154-07:00

Echofon for firefox not working at all as expected. I can log in perfectly and see tweets but my second account has the tweets from my first account all rolled into it. Doesn't matter which account I choose eventually all the tweets from both all get rolled in to one view!

2009-09-16T12:26:53.285-07:00

Hi all,

>Which one is actually synched to the iPhone?

Both are synced. Sync happens every 10-15 minutes, so there could be some lag.

>"echofon.com"

Oops. Fixed. Thank you!

>posted from TwitterFon

We are waiting for the change to be deployed. Should be soon.

>what is the general response time on the push?

10-15 minutes.

Also, what is the general response time on the push? Meaning if someone @ mentions me how quickly does Echofon's servers push that out?

2009-09-16T08:23:47.453-07:00

Now all we need is flickr video integration support as a video backend and Facebook integration for updating your status and this is THE perfect app.

Still the best in my book!

2009-09-16T07:09:23.875-07:00

Although I don't have an iPhone I think the whole idea of syncing your iPhone with your desktop is great. The name isn't the best choice imho though. People who don't know of the existince don't think 'hey, that's a nice twitter app/add-on'. I really don't understand the 'fon' part for something that is a Firefox add-on and will be an OS X app anyway.

Oh, and why does Twitter say that I posted via TwitterFon while I really posted via Echofon Firefox?

I don't have an iPhone so I don't get any ...

2009-09-16T02:37:53.513-07:00

I don't have an iPhone so I don't get any of the new TwitterFox features. I understand the name change because the two apps sync with each other. But I have to say that the old names were much easier to understand for people who don't know of the existence.

Oh, and if I post something from Echofon Firefox, Twitter marks it as posted from TwitterFon, so that's gotta be updated.

2009-09-15T23:59:45.382-07:00

So I have two installations of Echofon for Firefox which are both configured to be synched with the same account (= Echofon for iPhone). Both Firefox installations are running at the same time and the reading state of the Tweets are different. Which one is actually synched to the iPhone? My tests don't show a logical pattern.

geWAPpnet, thogek,

As long as you have an iPhone app, multiple Firefox apps can be synced (but not without an iPhone app).
