Very interesting. It's the best shot I've seen at reasonable digestion of the public timeline. Nice work. Pause and play confuse me as UI elements because they look like content tabs rather than pause/play buttons. Would it depart too much from the twitter look/feel to style those as more conventional pause and play buttons? Again, great work!

Thank you very much for your feedback, I know the Play/Pause button
aren't so "user-friendly" but this is only a preview I have a lot of
ideas in my mind.
Did you notice some other problems/issues?
Thanks again

Well, I sent some tweets from twhirl and watched twitspy expecting to see them appear very shortly thereafter. After 4 minutes of watching, still nothing. I was wondering if there's some built-in latency.

if your using the standard API (and not xmpp public timeline) then it would be worth noting that:
a: the sinceid / since time parameters don't work (nor does the "if-modified-since" header) b: it's impossible to poll it often enough to get all twitters, I assume there's some sort of 2/3 second cache in there.
I could stand corrected, thats just what I've found. (it's worth remembering there are approx 300/400 twitters a minute, so if you don't see 5+ a second updating somethings wrong)

1/ read the document Alex has published about the PubSub support [1].
You'll find there details about what messages are available in through
the XMPP protocol.
2/ I may sound a bit harsh, but this functionality is already offered
by Twitter itself (indeed with a different look and feel), so I find
it a bit weird to use their source (and by the way this XMPP support
is offered as a non-guaranteed service and as a sign of their open
env) in order to provide a similar functionality. But that's only my
opinion :-).
