Trowl 0.5.3
BETA; 123KB; XP/Vista/7; .NET Framework 3.5 Required (Also available on Windows Update)

what is trowl?
Essentially, it is an app that outputs tweets to Growl for Windows. It's a very simple display; and because it lets you customize the types of tweets you see, it keeps you updated on only the tweets you care about.

that's it? any other details?
That's it. I've tried to keep Trowl simple and to the point. The current beta versions include the following functionality:

• Multiple Accounts Add as many accounts as you own, and configure each one to growl what you're interested in.
• oAuth Authentication Connect to Twitter without giving up your username and password.
• Easy Access System tray icon quickly lets you create a new tweet, change settings, silence Trowl, or exit.
• Full Control Ability to choose which users should have their tweets Growled. In addition, you can choose whether ALL replies and/or DMs get growled. This is especially useful if you use Prowl! (see below)
• Fits your Schedule Ability to specify how often Trowl should check for new tweets.
• Simplicity Designed to be as easy to use as possible. For example, if you paste a URL into the New Tweet box, it automatically gets shortened by is.gd. If you use TwitterDisplay as well, you can reply, retweet, or DM directly from a growl!
• Works great with Prowl If you have an iPhone, you can push your tweets to it using Prowl. In addition, Trowl watches for specially-formatted DMs to yourself, and follows your orders while you're away from your computer!

So far, that’s it. I am working on new features, such as Twitter Search support, and I’m open to suggestions for other features, too. But my goal is to keep this as lightweight as possible. Its purpose is to growl tweets, and pushing those growls to your iPhone, if you wish. If you want more than that, you will be better served by any of the other excellent Twitter clients out there.

what is prowl?
Prowl is an iPhone app available on the App Store. Prowl links up with Growl on your PC so that when you get a notification, it gets pushed to your iPhone via the new Push Notification feature. In other words: you will get push notification of new tweets (as well any other growls you need to forward!).

aren't there other twitter clients that do this?
Yes. But most of the time, Growl support comes in the form of "friends timeline, @replies or DMs". I don’t know about you, but if I got ALL my tweets Growled, I would quickly get distracted. And if they got pushed to my iPhone as well, my phone would never stop buzzing — which kind of defeats the purpose of push notifications. I only want to get notifications of tweets from my close friends — the people where it may be in my best interest to see their tweet(s) asap.

any other details?
This app is useless without Growl for Windows, and will inform you of such if it has trouble communicating with Growl for Windows. (Although, it’s excellent at draining your Twitter API allowance, if you’re looking for that.)
This is an early version with limited error checking and an extra helping of bugs. Please let me know if you find any problems.
It is written in C#.NET and requires the .NET Framework 3.5. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, chances are you already have this. If not, please take a trip to your friendly neighborhood Windows Update.

does it cost anything?
Nope. However, Prowl costs $2.99 on the App Store. For me, this was a no brainer purchase, but it’s something to keep in mind.

i need growl for windows. where can I get it? how do i set up prowl to work with it?
Please visit growlforwindows.com. You will find both answers there.

where did the name trowl come from?
Twitter + Growl = Trowl
Also, a trowel is a tool used to evenly spread mortar between bricks. You can think of Trowl as the tool that helps cement Twitter, Growl and Prowl. Yeah, I know, I’m the height of cheesery.

.: twitter display 1.1 :.

Twitter Display is the perfect companion to Trowl. Not only does it have a Twitter-centric theme, but it also has functions customized for viewing tweets, including: a tweet's time stamp; buttons for replying, retweeing and DMing; hyperlinking of URLs, @usernames and hashtags. If the tweet has links to an image on twitpic or yfrog, it will even show you a thumbnail preview! This display requires Growl for Windows 2.0.1 or above.
