Currently this compilation includes Endless Tweets, Retweet, twitter highlight replies, Tweetpreview, Twitter friends name helper, Who Am I, and Tweetcounterkill. This compilation will be updated when changes are made, and may include new features as well.
Features
- Preloading of next page when you scroll down
- When on home, it remembers the last tweet that you've read and preloads next pages until you reach it, after which preloading stops
- Option to enable polling for new updates from your friends every 2 minutes. (This works best in Fluid on Mac OS X, where you have Growl notifications)
