Google+Tweet : Past, Present and Future

Hi folks! As you know, Google+Tweet app has been offline for about 8 hours, now it's working again (almost everywhere, if not it will in a while after complete DNS propagation) in a new hosting enviroment  ( thanks to my friends at  Crossrider.com who afford the cost of the new server for this month :)

The problem was that the hosting provider kicked me out the server and suspended my account because of "Server Overload". Consider that it had 10.000 users in the first 24hs after launch it. This exceeded by far my expectations...

Let me share the story about me and why I  did this app / extension...
As many of you, I'm a "loyal" Twitter user and also a "first generation user" of Google  new  product Google+

 After a couple of days I realized that I had a new tab opened all the time and was switching from Google+ to Twitter and Facebook every 15 minutes. That's not productive at all...
Then I found the Google+Facebook extension which blown my mind so I thought " I need a Twitter one too". I looked everywhere but nobody did it before so I had to get it done by myself.
I had a previous experience with Twitter API because I made the already known web based twitter client My Tweet Place, so it wouldn't be so hard. 6 hours later the extension was published and then the  buzz started...

I did this for three main reasons: 

• It was something I need
• I love to build web apps
• I wanted to make a kind of gift to the twitter community in exchange of all the knowledge i got from them.

The problem is that due to the high amount of traffic and users, (that's why i put Adsense and just gave me less than a dollar -  BTW thanks for all and good bye Adsense :P  ).  So i can't afford the monthly cost by myself and that's why  i need your help...

If you have a website, product or something you want to promote, at this moment could be shown daily to 10.000 users and still growing quickly. If you are interested just drop me an email to brunobar79 at gmail.com to talk about it...

If you don't have a bussines or product but you love this app and want to contribute to make it alive, just go here and donate whatever you can via paypal ( every single buck is welcome )

About the future of the app... I'm still working on it, first fixing some bugs  and very very soon you will be able to :

• View your mentions, RT's , favorites, inbox and sent messages
• Search on twitter
• View user's profiles
• Follow and unfollow
• View your profile

The main  idea is to have all the basics of twitter inside google+ and if you have any comments, please letme know.

SOME NOTES ABOUT THE EXTENSION : 

You can unistall the extension when you want. Just find the extensions options in your browser's menu and it won't appear anymore in your google+ account

About permissions, the framework which the app is built, ask for them but I SWEAR that they aren't necessary at all. That will be fixed soon.

About browser support,  now it's working only for Chrome and Firefox but soon it will support Internet Explorer and Safari too.

To keep in touch you can follow me on Google+ and Twitter @brunobar79

Cheers,

Google+Tweet - Twitter inside Google +

Our next project is an awesome browser extension that allows you to use twitter features like Tweet, Retweet,  Mention, Favorite, Share Pics and  watch your timeline without leaving your Google + page.

For the moment, this extension is only available from Firefox and Google Chrome.
You can install it from here : http://crossrider.com/install/529-google-tweet

After you install it you must sign in with your twitter account using the secure login with Twitter OAUTH. Then just close the popup and hit the button GO! in your Google+ Account.

Once you are in, just start tweeting!
We will still working on it to improve it.

Let us know what you think...

My Tweet Place VS Web based twitter tools

Everybody knows that all the third party twitter services are too many, but it's also true that all of them help Twitter to became what is it today, for example : Pics, Video, Links, Location sharing, etc.

That's why we decided to create one more tool for this social network including all the most usefull third party services

Basically, My Tweet Place is a web 2.0 app that allows you to manage multiple Twitter accounts and many of its related online services on a single website, so it includes all the basics from Twitter.com with many other services that are not included by default on twitter's official website.

This are some of the My Tweet Place's features:

• Manage multiple accounts without a single page reload, using Twitter's OAUTH to protect your identity. That makes it a usefull and secure site for its users.

• Update your status of different accounts at the same time, Allowing you to shorten URLs( through  Bit.ly.). Sharing Photos (through TwitPic) and videos ( through TwitVid)  without the need of open a new tab on your browser!

• Schedule tweets to post them on a future date and time. That allows you to manage your campaing daily, weekly or just personal tweets.
  
• Translate your tweets to send them on the language you wish, and also translate to your language those tweets you don't understand
  
• Thanks to the modern web browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc) you can share your location and then your followers will now where you are!  You can also watch where they are on  a google map if they are sharing their location.

• Watch who mentioned you, who have retweets your tweets and also check your inbox and sent messages

• Manage your followers and friends, seeing who is following you and who doesn't

• Watch your friends and public timelines, or your own too. You can also watch current, daily and weekly trends!

•  See which of your friends are not following you

• Autofollow those who are following you, and send them a welcome message
  
• Analize the progress of your followers, showing the stats of the last 2 weeks!

• Watch the impact of the links you tweet using the bit.ly tool, how many visits and where they come from.

• Search different keywords at the same time, and read tweets of a user that you are not necessary following
  
• Autotweet posts of your preferred blogs , very similar to Twitterfeed.com

In fact,  there are a lot of features offered by My Tweet Place when talking about twitter and the best part is that runs in your browser, so there is no installation required and it's user interface it's very user friendly and desktop like!

At this moment My Tweet Place is beign used for thousands of twitter users from all the word.
It's available on English and Spanish and it's next step is to release the portuguese version soon...

You can try it directy here of  install it  free in your Chrome Browser from the Chrome Web Store
