This work builds on research in Toronto First Duty and Peel Best Start which describe the design, implementation and evaluation of innovative integrated approaches to kindergarten, child care and parenting supports. Her current longitudinal research project is examining the implementation and impact of Full-Day Early Learning Kindergarten in collaboration with the Region of Peel, the Peel District and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Boards. Janette’s research interests are in the area of early child development and education. One final note: Google fails miserably in searching for “download TweetDuck”, guiding you to aggregator sites.About Us > Staff & Faculty > Janette PelletierĮmail: Pelletier, Ph.D., is Professor of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Dr. Therefore, a new era begins for my Twitter consumption, now using TweetDuck! TweetDuck is a perfect Janetter alternative, with the advantage of handling embedded media better it is also superior in communicating expanded URLs to the browser. With the same ease that I feared the worse (which would be to use Twitter via a Web browser), I found the wonderful “TweetDuck”! My first searches for alternatives intensified that suspicion: pointers and pointers to software that no longer works, that is no longer supported, and/or that is not available for Windows 7 desktop. I was very pessimistic: I assumed there would be nothing working the way I like. Something either on Janetter’s network or on its interface to Twitter had been plugged-off. In a matter of hours, it became clear that Janetter, at least for PC, was gone. This went on, until this Monday,, when Janetter suddenly died with the sentence: “cannot connect to Twitter”. Since Janetter satisfied me, I never felt the true impact of that Twitter change: my client kept working fine. Users, who had already authorized apps, could keep using them – I kept using Janetter -, but new users were not possible. Those changes were a death sentence for nearly all the existing Windows desktop Twitter clients. Roughly, two years ago, Twitter made significant changes in the way other software can access Twitter users’ data, and interact with the social network via its official API. SharedMinds got close to Janetter, but still did not win my preference. I remember that TweetDeck (in its early days, when it was mostly a Twitter client), Seesmic, MetroTwit and DestroyTwitter, were not as efficient in managing screen space, wasting panes and pixels in “good looks”, that could not present as many and as readable tweets, as Janetter did. These days none of the alternatives mentioned exist, with the exception of TweetDeck, which is more of a subscription service to manage your social presence, and not exactly a plain Twitter consumer, so it does not count. Janetter remained my favorite, for different reasons. It worked great: it presented me a continuous stream of tweets, as tweeted by those I am following, without issues, without ads, without distracting discussion threads, allowing its user to consume what was being produced, without interferences.Īt some stage in history, there was a good collection of clients for Twitter, for Windows 7 desktop PCs (Janetter alternatives) I used all of the following: Instead of using Twitter via a Web browser, or via apps for mobile devices, I used Twitter via Janetter, for Windows 7 desktop PCs. For years and years, Janetter () was my window to Twitter.
