what is trowl?
Essentially, it is an app that outputs tweets to Growl for Windows. It's a very simple display; and because it lets you customize the types of tweets you see, it keeps you updated on only the tweets you care about.

that's it? any other details?
That's it. I've tried to keep Trowl simple and to the point. The current beta versions include the following functionality:

• User Streams Receive tweets the instant they are sent, without a hit to your API allowance.
• Multiple Accounts Add as many accounts as you own, and configure each one to growl what you're interested in.
• Tweet Marker support Picks up where you left off in your timeline, and saves your progress, using the Tweet Marker service.
• oAuth Authentication Connect to Twitter without giving up your username and password.
• Easy Access System tray icon quickly lets you create a new tweet, change settings, silence Trowl, or exit.
• Full Control Ability to choose which users should have their tweets Growled. In addition, you can choose whether ALL replies and/or DMs get growled. This is especially useful if you use Howl! (see below)
• Fits your Schedule Ability to specify how frequently Trowl should display new tweets -- instantly, or at an interval of your choosing.
• Simplicity Designed to be as easy to use as possible. For example, when sending a new tweet, URLs automatically get shortened into a Twitter t.co link (or is.gd, if you prefer). If you use TwitterDisplay as well, you can reply, retweet, or DM directly from a growl!
• Photo Upload Attach photos to your tweets, using Twitter's built-in photo sharing service.
• Works great with Howl If you have an iPhone, you can push your tweets to it using Howl. In addition, Trowl watches for specially-formatted DMs to yourself, and follows your orders while you're away from your computer!

So far, that’s it. I am working on new features, and I’m open to suggestions for other features, too. But my goal is to keep this as lightweight as possible. Its purpose is to growl tweets, and pushing those growls to your iPhone, if you wish. If you want more than that, you will be better served by any of the other excellent Twitter clients out there.

what is howl?
Howl is an iPhone app available on the App Store. Howl links up with Growl on your PC so that when you get a notification, it gets pushed to your iPhone via the new Push Notification feature. In other words: you will get push notification of new tweets (as well any other growls you need to forward!). (You can also use Prowl, another iPhone app compatible with Growl for Windows.)

aren't there other twitter clients that do this?
Yes. But most of the time, Growl support comes in the form of "friends timeline, @replies or DMs". I don’t know about you, but if I got ALL my tweets Growled, I would quickly get distracted. And if they got pushed to my iPhone as well, my phone would never stop buzzing — which kind of defeats the purpose of push notifications. I only want to get notifications of tweets from my close friends — the people where it may be in my best interest to see their tweet(s) asap.

any other details?
This app is useless without Growl for Windows, and will inform you of such if it has trouble communicating with Growl for Windows.
This is an early version with limited error checking and an extra helping of bugs. Please let me know if you find any problems.
It is written in C#.NET and requires the .NET Framework 4. If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, chances are you already have this. If not, please take a trip to your friendly neighborhood Windows Update.

does it cost anything?
Nope. However, Howl costs $2.99 on the App Store. For me, this was a no brainer purchase, but it’s something to keep in mind.

i need growl for windows. where can I get it?
how do i set up howl to work with it?
Please visit growlforwindows.com. You will find both answers there.

where did the name trowl come from?
Twitter + Growl = Trowl
Also, a trowel is a tool used to evenly spread mortar between bricks. You can think of Trowl as the tool that helps cement Twitter, Growl and Prowl. Yeah, I know, I’m the height of cheesery.

.: metro display 1.6 :.

The Metro display was inspired by the typography-heavy UI design of Zune and Windows Phone. It's not a perfect replica, but I like to think I captured the soul of it into a clean, simple and useful display. While this can be used as a display for anything, it also supports all of the Twitter features in Twitter display 1.6. The latest version adds support for Trowl 0.7-specific features, and the ability to display photos from Twitter's photo service. Requires Growl for Windows 2.0.3 or above.

.: twitter display 1.7 :.

Twitter Display is the perfect companion to Trowl. Not only does it have a Twitter-centric theme, but it also has functions customized for viewing tweets, including: a tweet's time stamp; buttons for replying, retweeing and DMing; hyperlinking of URLs, @usernames and hashtags; geotag information. If the tweet has links to an image on twitpic, yfrog, or Twitter's own photo service, it will even show you a thumbnail preview! This version also adds multi-monitor support. Requires Growl for Windows 2.0.3 or above.
