thanks - this is really good for twitter which i have just started to use

Thanks Sven. I liked your tracks!

AIR alpha is now available for Linux from http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/ and Spaz was the 1st thing I tried. It’s very nice. Thanks guys.

Here’s a screenshot of Spaz running in my Ubuntu 7.10 installation. http://tinyurl.com/2neqbj

Looks like a nice Twitter client, but the shorten link feature doesn’t seem to work. It says it shortens the link, but nothing shows up.

Josh, I’d need more details. Try joining the spaz-users group and bringing it up there.

Is the Spaz´s code on Air free?

How can I find it?

@Andy, check the “Dev” tab above.

I keep getting an error with the AIR file:

The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.

Just by way of an update, I grabbed the file over at download.com and it worked fine.

How about making the close box just close the input window and NOT quit the app! I really like the tweet notifications, but hate having to have two icons in my dock to run Spaz (one for the app, one for it’s window).

@Sinclair: I can see your point. I’ll give it some thought. You might want to file the request in the issue tracker, and/or bring it up on the spaz-users group to see if others would also be interested.

its not working!

@christechmedia: You’ll need to give me a little more to go on 8)

Keep getting the following error code:

ERROR: 400 error - Exceeded request limit. Response from Twitter: {”request”:”\/statuses\/friends_timeline.json?_=1209656702596”,”error”:”Rate limit exceeded. Clients may not make more than 70 requests per hour.”}

I notice someone on 2/22 had the exact same issue. My refresh rate was already set at 3 minutes. I changed it to 4, yet I still receive the same error code. Not sure else to do now.

Rich: Make sure to read the FAQ linked in the sidebar above.

I thought I had before posting my problem. I guess I am missing something, sorry.

Rich, the best way to help you will be on the spaz-users list. But to reiterate what the FAQ says, this is not a problem with Spaz, and you may have some luck with changing your password and seeing if that fixes the issue.

I loaded Spaz on linux and was wondering how come each time I need to specify the username/password? It doesn’t seem to save the account information when I select “Save Preferences”. Is there an alternate way to specify these params within the preferences.xml file at all?

Great App otherwise!!!! Excellent!!!

Puleen: it’s my understanding that the current public Alpha of AIR for Linux does not support the “EncryptedLocalStore” libraries that Spaz uses to save usernames and passwords. I am sure this will be fixed in the future.

I like this app’s UI and response time, esp. as compared to Twhirl. However, I like the way that Twhirl allows direct access to @replies and dms. Is that in the works?

@Dave have you tried the “filter” toggle? CMD+F or CTRL+F will hide all but messages directed at you.

Hi I like this soft at all except with the order of tweets. Why are recent at top ? can I change this order?

Best regards, and congratulations, this look great.

@ Jorge: There’s not a handy way to change the order of tweets yet. It’s ordered that way out of personal preference.

Hi,

Would be nice if it remembered Window location and size. Also, would be nice if there was an option to start minimized. On Windows XP.

Thanks,

Will

By the way it would be nice that after leaving a comment when the page refreshes that it would take you to your comment url instead of just the main page, so that you can see it was successfully posted, without having to manually go looking. Of course I’m talking about leaving comments on your blog.

Hi! Great program, but wondering if it’ll support converting of links/url to snurl or any alike services to minimize text?

Will, armand: please post your questions on the Spaz-Users grouo on Google: http://groups.google.com/group/spaz-users

Thanks.

I really like Spaz, although…

When I sent an update while it was downloading updates, it went quickly from regular colors to inverted and back several times, with a sound, and text on the screen that I didn’t read… It was creepy o_O;

But other than that, I’ve also used Twhirl, and I actually like Spaz better than Twhirl.

Keep up the good work!

Hey Mark, welcome to Spaz! You’ve been Wilhelm’d! Please check here (http://funkatron.com/spaziki/FAQ/#Spaz-sometimes-screams-at-me—What-s-that-about-) for an explanation; basically if you “twoosh” Wilhelm appears.

RealBasic Pro can be builded for all OS. RealBasic also has a Linux version.

@ Trond Yep! When I was working on the RB version, I built for all three OSes it supports.

It’s cool

Hey Funkatron, I love the new update! Fixed a lot of little problems I had. GREAT app, the best for Twitter right now. I tried pretty much all cross-platform clients and Spaz just has a lead over all of them. Keep up the great work! :)

Well done on a really nice tool, but like a couple of people here although I really like the app, I find the name offensive, which makes using it difficult. I don’t think the defence of ‘it’s not offensive to me’ holds up much. Just in terms of its uptake it means, for instance, I could never blog about it as I would be seen to be condoning the derogatory term. It’s unfortunate, a bit more time thinking about the name could have saved this. Would Spiz have been too much of a compromise, for instance?

Martin:

Different things are offensive in different cultures. I’m sorry your culture finds it offensive. Mine does not. I don’t flip out when I read a reference to “smoking a fag” in UK print. It’s a cultural difference, and I deal with it.

Honestly, I don’t care if you blog about it or not, and I don’t care about “uptake.” I created Spaz because I wanted to create something useful to me and because I enjoy the process of application development. I am unconcerned about how many people use it, because I don’t get validation from that.

If people like Spaz, great. If not, that’s fine too. The source code is available to you if you want to change it for your own purposes.

How do I uninstall Spaz?

This Client works cool… I will try to work with this with Linux Fluxbuntu and write a report at http://otell.de

Greets Matthi

Thanks. I saw something like that on a site http://zymnavoda.org.ua/ but now there is nothsing about this client…((

Great application, i just love it.

Says Linux is supported, but I guess not.

Phil: Try Googling “AIR Linux.” You’ll quickly discover that AIR is in alpha on Linux, and Spaz does run under it with special AIR1.0-compatible builds.

Finally got Air installed on Ubuntu, opens other packages without a problem, but refuse to open Spaz. Give back a failure, says the Air app is corrupt. Tried downloading Spaz 3 times.
