New in Tweetz 1.2.4 (Dec 27, 2017)
- This release fixes a long standing problem where tweetz wakes up the screen after it automatically shuts off as directed by the user’s power settings. Just determining what caused it to wake up was a mystery. Eventually, I determined that the web requests to twitter that tweetz initiates were the culprit. Figuring out when the screen powers down was something of a trial. There are dozens of posts about how to this. I tried them all only to discover none of them worked reliably. I was convinced it wasn’t possible until I stumbled upon some code in an old Microsoft Application that contained the secret sauce. I’ve been testing this on several computers for a couple of weeks now and it hasn’t once triggered a monitor wakeup, so I think maybe I have solved it.
New in Tweetz 1.2 (Nov 15, 2017)
- Updated to send and receive 280 character tweets.
New in Tweetz 1.1.0 (Jul 30, 2016)

New in Tweetz 0.11.0 (May 11, 2016)
- Does not wake up the computer once it enters sleep. The type of network activity tweetz uses will not allow the computer to enter sleep mode if a new tweet arrives. However, once it enters sleep mode, tweetz will suspend network activity until the computer is restored
- Add full timestamp as a tooltip to the time of the tweet. #6
- Add shortcuts to open tweets and open links in tweets. #7
- Enhance crash detection and avoidance
New in Tweetz 0.9.1 (Feb 3, 2016)
- Today I blew the dust off the old girl and updated the interface to conform to the new, "Likes" feature (formally known as "Favorites). Also, added two new translations, Greek and Turkish.
New in Tweetz 3.1.7 (Apr 24, 2013)

New in Tweetz 3.0.2.0 RC5 (Sep 22, 2010)
- Fix old school retweets
- Better error checking and feed back on posts
- Indicate when user is protected (user status flyout)
New in Tweetz 2.3.4.0 (May 25, 2010)
- The service tweetz uses to do reverse lookups of shortened urls (http://long.to) has been abandoned as of today. This version is using a new service (http://longurl.org) to resolve reverse lookups of shortened urls.
- Also, a user noticed that the hover effect was broken on screen names and other links. Looks like it’s been that way for a while.
New in Tweetz 2.3.3.0 (May 22, 2010)
- Hash tags – Looks like I didn’t quite get it right in the last release. Hopefully, I’ve got it this time.
- Retweet setting – Native retweet setting was not saved. Fixed.
New in Tweetz 2.3.2.0 (May 21, 2010)
- One minor and one major bug fixed. The minor bug was that #hash tags with non alpha-numeric's including accented characters were not highlighted and linked correctly.
- The major bug was a memory leak. I think you’ll find this version of the gadget much easier on memory. I’ve tested it for about 4 days and resource handle counts and memory usage have remained flat.
- I’ve been chasing this leak for several months off and on thinking it had to be something I was doing. In the end, it was a leak in the jQuery Ajax library tweetz uses. Who would have thunk!
New in Tweetz 2.3.1.0 (Apr 29, 2010)
- Fixed a bug where the options dialog sometimes causes a fault (a.k.a. crash).
New in Tweetz 2.3.0.0 (Apr 19, 2010)
- The pace of updates for tweetz is slowing down in part to other obligations. With that aside, this release implements one of the most asked for features, indication of new tweets.
- New tweets are displayed with a different background color. You can mark the tweet as unread by clicking on it. Ctrl+click will mark all items as unread.
- The choice of changing the background color is mostly because it was the path of least resistance. If you have another idea on how to indicate new (unread) tweets, I’m interested in hearing it.
New in Tweetz 2.2.0.0 (Mar 26, 2010)
- Version 2.2 adds support for “Native Retweets”. What that means is tweetz uses the newer retweet support recently added to twitter. But fear not, if you like the old school method, you can simply turn off the option.
New in Tweetz 2.1.0.0 (Mar 8, 2010)
- Now that the rewrite is done, I’m adding new stuff. It’s much easier to do so with the new code structure. Here’s what’s new in this release.
- No focus tool tips – hover over a link and you’ll see the full link, or the the reverse lookup of the link if it can be found, regardless of whether the gadget has focus or not. I had to implement my own tooltips to do this. Hopefully, they’re not too ugly.
- Show links in post – By default, tweetz displays links as “[link]”. Since most links are shortened, seeing the actual link text has little meaning. The “[link]” notation uses less screen real-estate. Still, some have asked to see the actual link in the post, so now there’s an option to do just that.
- Notification of new versions – A surprising number of you asked to have the program notify you when newer versions of tweetz are available. Personally, I’ve always found these reminders annoying but hey, it’s a free country (or at least a free program). Checks for new versions are made every 24 hours if you choose to opt-in.
- There have been lots of other requests for features. I’ve kind of lost track of them. If I’ve left your request out it’s likely because I forgot, so don’t hesitate to remind me.
New in Tweetz 2.0.0.0 (Mar 2, 2010)
- Rounded corners: There’s one restriction here in that the height is restricted to increments of 50 pixels. There’s simply no good way to stretch a background image in a gadget so I just hauled off and made one for for every 50 pixels in height between 200 and 1600. The dialog will round down to the nearest 50 so entering 760 will yield 750. Now if anyone wants to do up some custom backgrounds and send them my way, maybe we can get something a bit different.
- Layout cleanup: Fixed a few layout issues so things look extra purrty.
- Fixed the “More” link in search
