Well more twitter news is good – but – do we really think they have value? Marshall K thinks so, and I think and have thought, there is value to twitter. Now they just start to make some profit – how? Advertising I’m sure. :)

Sorry Allen, the private crowds is not in yet, The other updates were auto refreshing crowds and crowds arranged by latest tweets.

The big one is the twitter client preview. In the next version with the private crowds users will get the new twitter client in thier crowds list.

Hopefully within the next week or so the privae crowds and a few more ones not been mentioned.

biggest request is to embed it as a widget so I am playing with several ways of doing it at the moment.

Thanks Darren – got ahead of myself apparently. Widget would make the app totally viral!

yeah the question is a full page widget or a blog sidebar widget?

I have a badge ready to roll but I think people want the crowd on their sites. now JS or iframe is the other question :p

options my man, options!

but i'd say 120ish sidebar would be first - yes crowd - some slick scrolling thingy might work well

yes to widget — a bit of what fbook does by displaying 3 tweets below your own status update. but like the twitter widget w/ a fade in and out, going back number of a configurable number of tweets for those users who have a large crowd and high volume?
