@chartier @Textastic Markdown highlights? Am I doing something wrong, I’m not seeing that. Other syntaxes highlight, but not Markdown.
@phillryu Tweetlist handles that better, with a description.
@panache I have the same problem.
@pstockton @tweetlist I doubt it would slow things down much (assuming you load pics after loading the timeline), but maybe optional?
@tweetlist - Any plans to pre-cache images from sites that you show fullscreen? Twitpic, etc. Would make Tweetlist feel even faster.
@leemathews If you get it, can you pass it along? I’d like to hear that cover, too.

@pstockton @moviedan @shawnblanc I like Reeder, but to be honest I prefer Byline. Going to write about why - I know I’m in the minority.

@shawnblanc I sincerely believe I retain more at a higher speed because I’m more engaged with the content. Conversations are often slow.
@shawnblanc Once you get used to it, you don’t even notice that it’s faster, but boy when you listen to a 1x podcast it seems S-L-O-W!
I wish iPhone Twitter clients would use the first 80 characters of a tweet as the email subject line when emailed.

@JimmySlims @geehoneybee @Chixdiggis just needs to rock again.
@dickc I still don’t get it - why create an alerting function for information the user isn’t interested in?
@JimmySlims The CEO of Twitter says that they shouldn’t have started with ads. Is so, makes me wonder why they want to force trends.
@parislemon Twitter trends are mostly inane and uninteresting/useless. Why do they want to force us to look at them?
@parislemon @dickc says #dickbar isn’t about ads, it’s about showing trends. If so, why so important to Twitter to force trends on users?
@dickc Why force people to view trends? I find Twitter trends inane and completely uninteresting.
It’s funny how @Twitter’s power to spread a message is being used against it in the #dickbar fiasco.
To see how badly @twittermobile has pissed off their iPhone users, search for #dickbar (nickname for the “quickbar”). Impressive screw up.
