We’ve been busy at Twitterfall, and we’ve got some new features for you. These features are all the work of x5315 so be sure to send him some thanks if you like them!
More geolocation
For a while Twitterfall has supported filtering search results by location, and since then Twitter have enabled the ability to add location data to tweets. In Twitterfall you can now view this location data by clicking the small pushpin that appears in the tweet.
What about if you want to add your own location to tweets? Using the W3C geolocation specification (not supported in all browsers) you can now add your location to your own tweets right from Twitterfall!
Improved storage of settings
Continuing the HTML5/W3C trend, Twitterfall will now use Web Storage to store your settings if your browser supports it, reverting to cookies if it doesn’t. This means you can clear your browser cookies and keep your Twitterfall settings.
More settings are saved, too. Now your list colours and your panel positions (expanded or closed) are saved.
Bug fixes and aesthetic changes
We’ve made plenty of other changes too:
- Removing a list removes the tweets from the queue too.
- We’ve reexamined most of the links in the right hand sidebar and added new content to them.
- We have a new notification system. Instead of alert boxes or a modal box that forces your attention away from what you’re doing, a bar appears across the top of the page. We’ve also made it more verbose about what is going on. You can dismiss the bar by clicking it if it’s getting in the way.
- Lots of internal optimisation.
One More Thing
Twitterfall has a lot of features. So many in fact, that we’ve made a page dedicated to all the features it has. It’s called the Twitterfall Feature Page. Check it out, you might find out about a feature you didn’t know Twitterfall had.
