Since Twitter is unreliable, I would really appreciate using IM.

thatmonkey started following the problem "Twitter Offline Again - 404 Remote Server Not found" in Twitter.

Elizabeth,

Sandy has a web-based user interface. iwantsandy.com How are you not aware of it? I thought people had to go to the website in order to create an account.

Elizabeth,

There are at least 2 different types of feeds, the Calendar Feed and the Daily Digest Feed (i.e. the Google Calendar Gadget). (see http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...)

The "Daily Digest" feature (the Sandy icon) is available for every day. Some people have complained that the icon appears on every day, even on those days where there is nothing scheduled. However, these people didn't understand that the Google Calendar Gadget has a different purpose and is not a regular calendar feed. Instead it implements the Daily Digest feature.

I know that there is a delay in the Calendar Feed. Google updates the calendar feed about every 3 hours, (or longer). There have been many discussions about Google Calendar not updating feeds promptly and people unsubscribing and resubscribing the get it to update. Look at some of the links on the right or do a search. (Other links: http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... and http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... and http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...) I'm not sure now often the "Daily Digest" feature is updated.

how about:

r dad's birthday july 4
*n july 1 at 11:00

or something like that? or @n...

you could even require that it be a date instead of 3 days from now or that kind of thing.

Elizabeth Wiley replied on June 26, 2008 20:51 to the discussion "Prioritizing todos" in I want Sandy:

What about the development of a general web-based user interface for editing? LIke where you could click and remove and add items from the website? I really like the flexibility that I can use email and sms, but I would like it coupled with the convenience of a simple, visual user interface available online that requires no memory of commands or power moves.

Elizabeth Wiley replied on June 26, 2008 20:40 to the discussion "NEW! Google Calendar Gadget" in I want Sandy:

Am I the only one still having issues? When I set it up as a calendar feed, it's not updating. i.e. the events I had when I set up the feed are there, but that's it. If i set it up with the thing from the sandbox, it puts the face on EVERY day and doesn't integrate the information in anyway. It just puts the two seperate bits of information within the same browser window.

Am I just totally missing something??

Yeraze replied on June 26, 2008 19:30 to the question "Exact reminder times" in I want Sandy:

You can set the reminder time via the website once you've scheduled the event. Specifying the exact reminder time via the email is possible, but still in testing so I'll let Rael decide whether or not he wants to start advertising that :)

I too would love to test! – RJ, on June 26, 2008 13:50

waffles replied on June 26, 2008 13:00 to the problem "Twitter not working with Gtalk at all" in Twitter:

Do you think I don't do that?

On the 13th (the newest mention of IM, they said it's still down and that they're working on it.

Which would be great, except that on the 12th they said the code was much closer. Maybe it's just me being impatient, but not having any sort of real update for that length of time with something that a good size of Twitter users want is just bad form.

You should probably check status.twitter.com/ rather than ragging on them.

J replied on June 26, 2008 12:37 to the problem "Twitter not working with Gtalk at all" in Twitter:

I don't think anyone that works for Twitter is actually following this thread anymore. If they are, they should update the status of this thread.

Thanks. If you need someone to test it, I would be very happy to. – waffles, on June 26, 2008 12:32

Hi Waffles! It's definitely been on our agenda, but we'd want to be sure that it was both stable and lived up to expectation. – Rael Dornfest, on June 26, 2008 10:01

Well, I thought I'd dig this up again. Twitter was Sandy's IM interface for a while, and now it's been gone for over a month.

I'm not going to ask for Sandy to have her own IM stuff done this week (although I wouldn't complain if she did). But I would like to know if this is still a possibility.

I can't send the confirmation code, because twitter@twitter.com remains in "invited" status, not where I can send anything.

DMee replied on June 25, 2008 16:31 to the discussion "Prioritizing todos" in I want Sandy:

You could sort them on normal Sandy front page by using the "Customise" option top right of the daily digest white "page" (i.e. not top of web page, just white area where sandy writes the digest).

In there you can opt to separate out certain tags and they separate out in the order you type them so typing

@1 @2 @3 @4 @5 @Todo @shopping @work etc etc etc

Produces

@1
Pay X
Do Y

@2
Sort out B

@3
Ring Z

etc etc

Also uses this sort in your emailed Daily Digest

For multiple tags you get them in full for the first tag they match then a note at the end of the other tags e.g.

@todo
Do gardening

Wow, I don't even get that. I would be very happy if even that much of it was working for me.

I ́m disappointed that the IM service still isn up (at least for posting tweets; I do receive updates by GTalk).

I'm with you on the frustration level. Even for a free service, the customer service end of this has gone down the toilet.
