I knew someone would eventually nail the perfect service for updating Twitter. That day has come, with the launch of Twoogie, where you can send and view tweets in true Doogie Howser, M.D. style on an IBM PS/2 screen.
Just add your username behind the URL to view your Twitter stream the old school way (e.g. TechCrunch). Note that for some reason – could be intentional – it doesn’t always work straight away. To update, you’ll need to log in with your Twitter credentials, so that’s entirely up to you.
Twoogie comes straight from Syndeomedia Labs, based in the Philippines and Australia.
You can tell us how cool it is or how we write too much about Twitter related stuff in 3, 2, 1 …
Cool !!!
Thanks for sharing that.
The link you show on TC and the redirect seems to lag my Firefox browser or is it just me?
kinda draggy — lots of JS im guessing.
No support for private accounts = FAIL.
So basically you’d like your private messages to be public to anyone?
No, I obviously want them to remain private. Did you need me to send you to Kumon for English comprehension?
Too bad, doesn’t work for me… I get a 404 for every user name I try….
Yeah, it’s down right now. Fortunately, I’m very familiar with what Twitter user “404″ is saying in Doogieworld.
old good days… Cool! But, doesn’t work for my account! Anyway..
Yeah it seems to be struggling, doesn’t always work from the get-go.
Useless idea, but I’ll cut you some slack on a very slow news day. By the way, shouldn’t the little LED be green not white?
You wouldn’t even believe twoogie.com is built on Rails 2.x :p
yep, runs on rails, that’s why its down all the time
很不错
i placed my twitter name at end of URL and i get a 404 error as well. My account is not set to Private either.

seems like many are having this problem. Alpha testing?
For people who actually watched Doogie this is fun.
After a few fits, it starts to work.
Nice job.
or… you could just use a text browser, like Lynx, etc.
LOL … too cool … amazing how Doogie went to the womanizing Barney on How I Met Your Mother … great show by the way!
thanks for sharing.
no Doogie theme when viewing your own Twitter account
I had the doogie howser theme song stuck in my head all day prior to reading this post. Just what the dr ordered.
