We know that some of you were frustrated by the 5,000 combined followers/friends cap that was in place. We are raising the limit to 10,000 now. After we give some more time for the service to shake down, we’ll try raising that up some more, and hopefully one day we can eliminate it completely.

And yes, it’s obvious that we need some slick-looking, AJAX progress bars to display while Twitual is fetching and processing all the follower/friend information. That will come in time, as will some other niceties. 

Thanks to everybody who has tried Twitual so far. Make sure you follow @twitual on Twitter to keep up with the latest news. Keep spreading the word!

The service is currently in ‘alpha’ status, which means that it is still in an active state of development, and things might change pretty frequently. We already have several ideas for new features, and for improvements to the current site. For example, we’re already aware of a javascript performance problem with the dynamic highlighting when the user lists get long, and we’re working on a fix for that.

That said, we’re open to any ideas, bug reports, complaints, or kudos that you might want to send our way. We also wouldn’t mind a ruben sandwich, some onion rings,  and a bottle of Guinness, should you care to send those. We’re also open to offers of advertising or sponsorships. Whatever it is you’d like to talk to us about, feel free to email us at info@twitual.com.
