Hi Prashanth,

Not sure why it’s not working for you. Can you provide some more detail? What is the exact error you are getting?

Great post, but feross.org/tweetie.php doesn’t seem to work for me.

Can you confirm please?

Excited to use this new workaround.

I’m still learning from you, as I’m trying to reach my goals. I absolutely liked reading everything that is written on your site. I have gone through your site and really like your content. I am running a General Web directory sitourl.com I suggest you to submit your site to my directory for free as it would enhance your site ranking in search engine and you would get more traffic.

What makes an article marketing campaign effective is market reach. Maximize th use of all web syndication options around and have your ideas dispersed.

Scratch that — I just discovered the reason it’s not working for you.

When you copy the Javascript code and paste it into Safari or Chrome, be sure to delete the single quote characters and re-type them again yourself.

Now it should work for you.

WordPress (the software I use to publish this blog) automatically takes the straight quotes I type and converts them into curly quotes. Unfortunately, curly quotes are actually entirely different characters from straight quotes and your browser is converting the curly quotes into their URL encoded form before saving the bookmark, so the URL looks like this instead:

javascript:window.location=%E2%80%99tweetie:%E2%80%99+window.location

Let me know if it worked for you.

That’s strange. This bookmarklet came straight off of the Tweetie website.

javascript:window.location=’tweetie:’+window.location

Are you sure you’re copying it correctly? You don’t want to copy the quotes I surrounded the code with in my last comment — you want just the javascript. I know it’s silly, but this is the most likely reason I can think of.
