Features

Autocomplete everywhere

feature_autocompleteMahTweets has inline replies, as well as the main 'composition textbox' at the top - and throughout all plugins, all places you can enter in an update, auto-complete is enabled. We'll be expanding auto-complete to hashtags (as well as WhatTheHashtag definition lookup!)

Customisation

feature_kulerIt's great that in Windows you can customise your background, mouse cursors, fonts, sounds and colours - so why can't your social media client do the same?
With MahTweets 3, we've got several themes as well as the ability to change each colour and font to how you want it.

Want something that suits you better, but don't know what suits you? MahTweets pulls down a list of popular colour swatches from Adobe's Kuler which with one click you can apply

Adaptive background

feature_adaptiveSometimes theming a program can be a pain in the backside. Wouldn't it be great if there was some magic that would suck the colours out of your Windows background wallpaper? In MahTweets, if you enable Adaptive Theme, MahTweets will automatically reskin itself every time your background changes.

This supports the Windows 7 slideshow background feature too.

Just glance to see changes with Windows 7

feature_mosaicsSometimes social networks can just be too overwhelming. Minimising columns in MahTweets pops them into a "Mosaic" mode where you can just view information about that group by just hovering over MahTweets in the Windows 7 taskbar

Plugin Architecture

The real power of MahTweets is our awesome plugin system. Every connection - Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, Twitpic YFrog - is a plugin. MahTweets makes use of the Managed Extensibility Framework in .NET 4 allowing the community to the client.

Soon we'll publish documentation on how you can create and upload your own plugins to share with everybody.

Tweet Splitting

Don't you hate it when you have something really longer than 140 characters to say, and you have to manually split it into multiple tweets? Not anymore!
MahTweets takes the hassle out of it by automagically splitting your tweets, and adds indicators as to how many tweets it will span.

Auto-expand shortened urls

Tired of being Rick Rolled (I'm looking at you @griffmiester) through tinyurl, is.gd, bit.ly (and many others)?
By auto-expanding the shortened url's (using Long URL Please), you can won't be launched into sites you know are bad.
We currently support the full 79 url shortening services that Long Url Please supports.

Filtering/Grouping

MahTweets has some of the most advanced and customisable filtering & grouping of any Social Media client.
If you want to have one column with all the "responses" (such as mentions or direct messages) from all your accounts, you can do that.

 

Scripting

feature_scripting Want to quickly add functionality to MahTweets without having to compile or even exit the application? Scripting via .NET's DLR (just IronPython at the moment) allows interactions with Updates or the words inside those updates.

So far we've got translation, definition, address manipulation - what can you script up?
