Still wondering what a Twitter is?
Think of it as a blog for people who can't write.

Ah a glob XD
This youtube video explains what Twitter is.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o
I tweet using Fring via Jabber. works like a charm!
I stand by my original assessment. It's a way to tell people how your cat's doing in 140 characters or less...and pretend they care.

It can be used for such mundane comments like that. It can also be used for things like
- the U.S. citizen that quickly twittered via his phone that he was being arrested by Egyptian police. http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/16/twitter-saves-man-from-egyptian-justice/
- the Chinese that actually reported the earthquakes via Twitter, even before the news caught onto it. http://scobleizer.com/2008/05/12/quake-in-china/
- I hear about the latest betas and receive private invites just by asking other peers in my circle. (i.e. Evernote, Brightkite, Dropbox, etc.) - http://www.spiderbait.com/seo-expert/2008_01_11_archive.asp
- Helped a guy quickly get a number to a locksmith in Hawaii, although I live in NC.
Just google on "top twitter uses", something like that. You'll see alot of news and blog links of various ways that people use it.
Also, when I update my Twitter, it automatically goes out and updates my Facebook, YMsgr Status, Skype Status, and MSN Msgr status all at once.
Also, due to it's open API there are programmers who have been creating all sorts of mashups to work with Twitter. http://twiddeo.com , http://twittervision.com/maps/show_3d . An extensive list here. http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps
The only negative thing of late though is that it's so overwhelmingly popular that it has trouble keeping up with the amount of users. They just received another $15 Million in VC, so hopefully they'll use it to fix their scaling issues.
Of course convincing people that twitter is useful is like trying to convince my wife who only uses her mobile phone for making phone calls that my HTC S621 with it's Internet plus all it's other apps, bells and whistles is useful. She can't understand why I need to have access to the Internet 24x7 right by my side.
Thank you,
Tim

Is it just me, or has that picture been PhotoShop'd?
Hi there,
I had a discussion with my brother on his new iphone and he showed me a software to keep track of his sit up, push up, .... and what ever sessions. It would use the gsensor to count and also check the angle of the situps and correct if necessary.
Now it annoyed me I don't have anything like that on my HD2. Is there anything similar somewhere?
Thanks
Michael
What is the name of that specific app with the gsensor count?
I wish there were some decent work out loggers for us winmo gym guys.

had seen this already, however if I understand it correctly this is just a tracker where I can enter manually. I would like an app where I can "wear" my mobile and the app tracks push ups and situps automatically.
that app would great... i honestly envy iphone users for this kind of practical apps. on the other hand, there is a nice app (not exactly what you want) that you might to take a look at: MyPersonalDiet from VidaOne. Hope it helps.
Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Actually after today's Prime Tv Mango update I noticed that...
It's great...
With the exception of LazyTube, all of my apps are flipping on my screen, pretty enjoyable tbh
Does rowi have a flipping live tile? Mine doesn't.. It doesn't use mango features, it doesn't appear in the background tasks list.

It does have a flipping live tile. But it doesn't require a background agent, since it's still being updated via push. Which I consider great, because it's almost instant after a message or mention is recieved. Background agents only pull every thirty minutes.
@FiyaFleye
Patience, mate. LazyTube 3.0 is on its way. And it's gonna be awesome as far as I can tell from what I've seen.

Im not too sure what rowi you are using but mine has a static live tile(rowi version 1.5) its push notification like you said is top not tho,almost instant. thats one of the few mango apps that i have that does not flip, thinking about it,i dont think rowi has been updating to mango yet because it still shows the resuming ... when you switch back to it.
flipping live tiles are lame, need some other effects :/

I use 1.5. Flip tile shows up when you receive a mention. The backside shows the first few words of the tweet and the image of the user who mentioned you on the background.

Actually that is constructive criticism. Some developers have a fliping live tile just for the sake of it (Flixster app first comes to mind) and yes other effects would be cool. Also developers can't change the size of the police when having text at the back of a tile so in some instances it's useless because you get cut off text (like having half the title of an article, what is this good for?).
Does anyone know if developers can use the curtain effect that's on the Me tile? That's a least one variant that I'd like to see more.
Even so it still has no place in a thread created to glorify this feature. I do sometimes in fact just watch the tiles on my start screen or groups. If he wanted to he could've started his own thread talking about that.

Geez.
That is not constructive criticism. Fiya likes the way his phone looks with all the tiles flipping.
I personally would not want several different animations for the tiles. I like uniformity. But it would be interesting for diversity if you could set how a tile animates or turn them off. Flexibility in this case won't be a bad thing.

rowi flips when you receive a mention or message, it'll flip with the profile picture of the last person and a portion of the tweet. I think it's a rolling activation though, as I got it about 4 days after other people.

Cool, go say that nonsense in a thread titled "Crap I don't like about Mango/WinPhone" - I created this topic to discuss the enjoyment of the tiles, not some response of them being "lame." This is the type of stuff I'm talking about, you cannot have a single enjoyable thread on this horribly moderated board.

You guys are funny. Reporting his post because he said flipping tiles are boring?
Anyway, if anyone actually read my post I tried to develop his argument and asked an interesting question that no one answered and that wasn't a criticism.
All I got was "I personally would not want several different animations for the tiles. I like uniformity."
I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
