I believe it would be nice to have the ability to queue incoming twitter
messages.
The twitter accounts I follow do update too often and in alternated intervals
of time, meaning that I can go and hour without getting any updates from
twitter but the next two hours I would be getting 5 updates every 20 minutes or
so. [nothing wrong with the plugin, just the people I follow update their
twitter]
1-I would like to see a feature that would allow me to queue upcoming twitter
updates thus avoiding an IM windows from popping every so often just to display
a couple of updates.
---a) I know that setting the twitter status on pidgin to "Unavailable" would
prevent pidgin from reporting any new updates, but then that would be defeating
the point of twitter on pidgin.
2- Upcoming updates will still get logged, so when I click on the "twitter.com"
on my buddy list, the IM window will show all the recieved updates.
---a) Much like how IRC works on Pidgin when you add a room to your buddy list
and set the preference to "Persistent".
-For those that don't know what I'm talking about- Lets say I'm on
#microblogplurple. I exit the chatroom window for a couple of hours. Later on
I click on #microblogplurple on my buddylist and the #microblogplurple chatroom
window opens. All the activity that has taken place in the room after I'd exit
the chatroom window earlier is presented to me in the chatroom window as if I'd
never closed the chatroom window.
3-Also a counter next to "twitter.com" or below it where the "status" would
show, displaying how many new tweets are waiting for viewing. If not, the
default Pidgin action for awaiting message, which is making the sender's name
bold [on the buddy list] would be more than enough.
Also, Guification can take care of the reporting of new update arrivals.
