Local Tweets on AIR
Yesterday, I asked the question “Who do you follow on Twitter?†This all started because @chrissieb was looking for recommendations – from @corvida, who is definitely the Twiter maven. (She’s actually the queen of all social media, but you knew that already). Well, I made it on @corvida’s list, so I responded to both of them. One thing led to another and next thing you know, I was blogging it.
Anyway, her tweet reminded me of an older post I did on RWW called 5 Ways to Find More Friends on Twitter. One of the ways I recommended was the website at Twitter Local. The service helps you find people using Twitter in or around a certain area. You can enter a city, state, or zip, and the range of miles around the area to search, and Twitter Local will display the rests generated as an RSS or XML feed or you can click to see the latest tweets coming from that area and just subscribe to people from there.
What I completely forgot about until now was that Twitter Local had an Adobe AIR app available. I discovered that when writing the post, but it slipped my mind and I never went back to download it. Well, now I have. And guess what? The app is broken. I’m so disappointed. Actually, it sort of works – I mean, I do have a stream of local tweets – but it keeps popping up this authentication box:
No matter how many times I enter my info (and check “remember my passwordâ€), the box reappears. Can someone fix this please? I would really like to use it.
