I have just finished a preliminary (beta) version of twitter timeline ready for feedback, so anyone who uses it please comment here on any additions, changes you think might make it better.

Thanks

   Andy, just wondering why you need my twitter password for me to see my timeline. Shouldn’t you be able to get all the information you need from my username (as long as my tweets are public)?

   Hey Jeff,

   I decided to make it ask for the password so that you can see your original friend feed with any friends that may have their tweets set to private.

   Don’t worry nothing is stored server side.

   Looking forward to the next WebStandards meetup!

   Fair enough. That makes sense to me. It’s a shame twitter doesn’t provide something along the lines of Flickr’s application permissions.

   See you at the meetup.

   Hey Andy,

   I gave it a try. It looks like a really useful visualisation tool. It brings a bit of plurk to my twitter stream.

   I think I might follow too many people. All the tweets are bunched up on the timeline. Is it possible to change the increments based on the average number of tweets per hour?

   At the moment there is no way of changing the increment, but I will probably work on that sometime soon. Interesting you should mention plurk because that was the main inspiration for me doing this…

   Thanks for the feedback.

   Let me know when you get a chance to update. Like I said, I can see this be a really useful visualisation tool. It could offer the good part of plurk — the timeline-based visualisation — without the bit that annoys me — forcing me to start my updates with a verb. Thanks for this!
