Twhirl Tips:
Ding! Ding! Ding! Make it stop!
Twhirl defaults to playing a Ding! for every notification received on
the public timeline. This could get annoying very quickly. To lessen the
number of Dings! click the wrench icon up on top and head over to the
Notify tab. Select the "only play sound for replies" checkbox in order
to only hear the Ding! when someone @replies you. If those little
popups in the corner start to get annoying, uncheck the "notify for
public timeline" checkbox. Now you will only receive notification popups
from users you are subscribed to.
Hey! Where's the tweets?
If you don't see other users status updates show up on your Twhirl, it
probably means you haven't subscribed to anybody yet. Start subscribing
to your friends, fans, and enemies on the HAKtweet website.. or
just click on the * next to "Home" in Twhirl to view the public
timeline.
