Sorry we are late but some interesting stuff happened along the way here and we lost two packages namely the dashboard updates and retwidling. You 1/3 of the development force had to take leave. Fortunately, its for a very joyous reason -he became a father! So congrats to Mark Twidl and his wife for a healthy baby. Unto the updates.

• Likes! you can now like a twidl. Show a twidler some love. When you like a twidl, it will appear in the reaction list below along with the comments and faves.
• Faves! If you really like a twidl you can fave it. ITs like a bookmark. a new Faved tab will be appearing in your dashboard soon so you can keep track of new comments, likes, faves and retwidls on your faved twidls.
• FIXED: no more duplicate @mentions of yourself when you comment on your own twidl.
• Some design tweaks on the sidebar, tags are now highlighted. and some of the buttons on the twidl page have been reshuffled.
• URL in tweets are now iconized to solve a long-form url problem. ITs a very early version and it will be  improved later.
• colors of elements in a tweet are tweaked for visibility.
• Community page are now slightly improved.

The next update will be named Dashing and will be all about the dashboard and editor enhancements. :)

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:
