New FEATURES! the late part of the COOLIO update. Here are the latecomers.

RETWIDL - remix a twidl by reusing the image and adding your own version. Think you can do a funnier, better or awesome-r twidl? Now, you can!

Sources - This will automatically determine where the image came from. We love to give credit where credit is due so made it automatic for you! :)

Delete - you can now delete a twidl on your activity stream in your dashboard.

The New Year starts with a big bang! version 0.7 of Twidl.it is done. Tons of new stuff.

1. New logo - less edgy more cuddly! Twitter inspired font plus the Twidl icon now in top billing right above the letter I.
2. New layout - lots of white makes you feel like your up in the clouds. Rightly so since Twidl.it lets your tweets fly to new heights!
3. Dashboard - Still a work-in-progress but is now future proof for all the cool stuff heading your way. :)
4. Twidler page - the twild user page now sports a humongous (empty) profile pic. Why? because it will be ALL about YOU. Once we have coded in the stuff to let you upload your pretty face in it you will be very pleased by a surprise feature.
5. Import From URL -  You can now use photos or images already uploaded somewhere else just by pasting the URL. To get URL of images on Facebook just right-click and choose Copy Image Location (firefox) or Copy Image URL (chrome) then paste into the text field.
6. Zoom Photo Button - Take a closer look at an image/photo with this (magnifying glass) button found underneath a twidl.
7. Comment section redux - makes you want to comment to death.
8. Reply-to list in the comments - this will list the users present in the comment thread and reply to a particular person. The default is the owner of the twidl.
9. More twidls from user block a.k.a. the MTFU is now online on every twidl page.
10. TAGS! - the 1st version of tags is now ready. Type in tags to organize your twidl and make them appear along with other twidls with the same tags.
11. recent tags are listed on the front page along with recent users and twidls.
12. 1st pass on compatibility with Webkit based browsers such as Google Chrome and Safari. We are aware of some glitches and we are on the case.
13. Popup now fixed in Internet Explorer browsers (switch already! you laggards. :)
14. inactive buttons and subtle clues on what will be functional in the near future, namely;

• fave button
• reTwidl
• report violation button
• snap a photo on webcam
• profile photos
• image source
• twidl Score
• preference page
• welcome messages
• editor improvements

Thanks to the people using Twidl.it and giving us great feedback. We hope to get to version 0.8 soon and make your Twitter experience more colorful and creative. 2010 is looking good!

We are proud to announce that we have just started alpha testing Twidl.it. What is it? It lets you put your tweets in images as speech bubble, think cloud or a caption. We are starting small but have lots of exciting surprises in store. Right now, users can;

• upload JPG, PNG, GIF, animated GIF
• add twidlbox, choose between a speech bubble, think cloud or caption
• type your tweets inside the twidlbox
• optionally, type in tags (which you can convert to hashtags)
• send tweet + twidl link to twitter.
• post a twidl without tweeting it
• comment on twidls
• view activities on all your twidls.

Features will be rolled out slowly over the coming days. We need a few users to try out and help put Twidl.it on the path of awesomeness. Use this invite code to try our product:
