More great features on the way, including custom feeds, DM’s and more detailed stats!
Thanks to everyone for your feedback.
h00t!
If you are able to build in the right features, I could see BrightKit potentially taking over as my new Twitter interface. The addition of things like the feed and @ replies tabs (and hopefully DMs soon) are critical pieces for making that transition in my mind.
If I can get everything that Twitter offers on their site and then you up the ante with additional features (scheduling messages, tracking multiple accounts, etc.), that is what is going to drive people to use BrightKit.
I look forward to seeing future developments!
Hi – was hoping this would have the ability to send tweets to multiple accounts at a time. I just have two accounts and sometimes need to send the same tweet twice. Would be nice if I could to a “multi-tweet”.
Hey Mike – thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it. DMs will be available soon! Stay tuned.
