Twitter with Friends Using the WPF Client Witty | |
|

| Time: 13:43 EST/18:43 GMT | News Source: Windows Vista Blog | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Twittering with friends seems to be the new "thing-to-do" on the web these days. Many bloggers are using it and it has even made its way into an episode of CSI! So what exactly is Twitter you ask? Twitter is an online web service that lets you post what you are doing - in 140 characters or less - in which those who are "following" can track what you're doing based on what you post. Bloggers sometimes also use Twitter to share URLs and to share quick thoughts on a variety of topics. Now I said that Twitter was a web service right? Well the Twitter developers have released an API in which developers can use to create "Twitter clients" to be used outside the web browser. Alan Le, from the company Vertigo, has utilized the Twitter API and designed a WPF Twitter client called Witty that extends the Twitter experience into Windows Vista. If you recall, WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is built in to Windows Vista. | ||

| I would like to try this, but as soon as I ran the executable, I got the "Witty has encountered a problem and has to close . . . . . " |

| Just realized it doesn't work with Windows XP, only V*sta. |

You need to have .NET Framework 3.x installed (it includes WPF).
I successfully ran Witty on an XP virtual machine that had .NET FX 3.0 installed. The latest version of .NET is available at the link below (and should also be on Windows Update): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en |
