[...] The folks at Carsonified have just released a beta of Twiggy, an app that searches Twitter from Nokia’s widget-enabled phones Opera as a widget. Widget apps are built in HTML, CSS and Javascript, and are stored and executed locally. Twiggy lets you search Twitter and save favorites. Elliott Kember, who along with Mike Kus is responsible for creating Twiggy, describes their use of jQuery in the app: [...]

Aha, save. Makes sense.

I’d use an iPhone version. I find the search function on the varying apps fairly clunky.

Cool. I’m not sure if the iPhone really needs it, given the range of Twitter apps already available for it, but it’d still be a handy tool to add to the arsenal.

Tom: Yep, I should be able to make a version for the iPhone.

I’m not quite sure how I’m going to do favourites yet, but it should be pretty easy – and the HTML should be pretty similar. I just have to remove the widget-specific stuff.

Great work guys. It’s been really cool following the videos throughout the week.

Big hugs to the Carsonified crew!

Works well in Opera and looks awesome.. and after 2 days? You guys make me sick ;)

In all seriousness, any thoughts about porting it for use on the iPhone?

Hi Laura,

That icon is supposed to be a “save” button – it saves the query to the favourites list. I guess it’s supposed to be a floopy disk. We’re working on a better image :)

Works really nicely in Opera.

What does the icon to the right of the star/favourite icon do? Looks like settings maybe?

@Phillip – Thanks mate. It’s technically only taken us two days though ;)

Nice to see suggestions being taken on board – Carsonified are definitely a forward-thinking company.

I’m enjoying this week with you guys, almost feels like I’m there… but I’m finding it difficult to concentrate on my work… my fault not yours.
