TwitLamp - Timeline This is a very frustrating tool, not because it's bad, but because it's almost really good. It breaks down your timeline in a variety of ways for you - so that you can just see the images that people have posted, or the videos, links or hashtags. You can see mentions of yourself or run searches. It's fast and easy to use.
So why am I frustrated with it? Because it's rude and threatening. I get that they want to make money, but please don't start putting up signs that say 'Warning! Used 1 of 5 times. Become a Pro Member...' or 'Restricted! You have used the Update Timeline feature 3 times which is the limit for free accounts. Please wait for [30 minute countdown] to use it again, or become a Pro Member.'
So you know what, Twitlamp? Please don't use language like that, and don't hassle users, since what happens is that we'll walk away. Which is exactly what I'm doing from your otherwise helpful tool. How's that for shooting yourself in the foot?

Thank you for your post about Twitlamp!
we are considering the issue here but allow me to say we are sorry for the inconvenient that the warning messages make, our native language is not English but we're trying to do something good here.
Now we are working to fix this now and soon we will change the method of promoting our Pro accounts so please visit us again and help us make this project more usable and polite too
