one this is no longer a free app, it cost like 3 or $4.00 now. Then also I wonder how you can turn the volume off of it so that if you post a tweet or update it stops that terrible "ding" or "flight noise". Anyone have any ideas?

[…] side, it does ‘real’ Twitter push – not just push between you and other Boxcar users – the iTwitter model we saw earlier this week – but push for all @ mentions and direct messages aimed at your Twitter […]

You should check out the Twitter push client that I just released, Boxcar. It's available at http://boxcar.io Boxcar is unique because it plays nice with your existing favorite twitter client (mine is Tweetie). I get notifications of new @mentions and new DMs, and Boxcar opens Tweetie for me. Right now we poll every 5 minutes, but we're working on a near real time solution. There is also no stupid requirement for both people to be using Boxcar. This is push notifications done right. =) Hit me up if you have any questions or comments!
