Making the messages easier

Posted on April 2, 2008 17:18 by gtftr

A couple of people have commented that it’s a pain to remember the correct format of the tweets to send a message – especially when you’ve just finished an hour running or on an elliptical.

For me I found practice made perfect (but then again most of the message formats I defined) but I’m curious to find ways to make it better and more natural or easy for people to enter their information.

On my Windows Mobile phone I can predefine templates for text messages – that means I can build a template for each exercise and just drop the parameters in and hit send.

One idea on the to-do list is a predefined web page that stores your login (as a cookie so we never see it) and has templates to tap in the parameters and then you just hit send (so it would work from any browser including on the iPhone)

Theoretically the format we store the parameters in for the parser could be used to create these forms dynamically and roll them into 3rd party Twitter apps (but I think we’d need a lot more users first to get people to consider that!)

What would help reduce YOUR barrier to using gtFtr? Let me know…
