@Nurph's Up: 16/08/2013 -- Every Retweet Counts

@Nurph said: @Eggdough did you ever see a tweet in a Nurph Channel and wonder how many times it had been retweeted?
@Eggdough said: @Nurph sure! All the time.
@Nurph said: @Eggdough well now the Nurph Channels have a real-time counter of the number of times each tweet has been retweeted!
@Jestly said: @Nurph heh, every retweet counts.

Bug Fixes

- A bug that prevented the "remaining character counter" from updating after the "RT" link was pressed has been fixed. 

New Features

There's LOADS this week!

- There's a new feature that detects when someone is repeatedly joining/leaving a channel and reduces the number of 'presence events' that are shown in the timeline. This is great when someone has an intermittent internet connection.

- Retweets now have a much sleeker appearance in the timeline.

- A real-time "Retweets" count shows how many times a tweet has been retweeted! 

Also:

We're quietly beta testing http://ChatSalad.com (@ChatSalad). Here's why...

We wanted a tool that:

  • a) made it easy to see Twitter chats that were happening soon
  • b) showed all chats that were happening today 
  • c) converted the start times in to our local time zones. 

That's http://ChatSalad.com. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Until Next Time

Have a great weekend everyone!

Regards

@Nurph

p.s. Is there a topic you would like to see a Twitter chat for?
