Tracking wasn't working on my phone (and I wasn't trying to track common words or my own tweets) but after deleting my phone in the Twitter device settings and setting it up again it's all go!

You won't receive updates via track to your own Twitters.

I've been trying to track my @replies, so I sent track @wiseox via SMS to twitter. Also tracked "wiseox". But no luck. I can track other words and get SMS messages in return but nothing to do with my username. Any ideas? Does tracking @replies not work in UK? Very confusing!

Update on a bug fix: we will now send you a message letting you know if you can't track a word.

Ok, thank you Blaine for straightening this out. I could not figure out why I never got the stuff I track on my phone. But then I was only set up for DMs. This does seem like a logic bug to me, cuz to fix it, I had to turn on updates, and turn it off for every last person that I follow cuz I don't want to get anything but tracks and DMs on my phone.

But I'm glad I got it figured out thanks to you on this thread.

My IM is enabled.

That makes sense with blocking "the" and "and" and stuff.

But, also, as I said, it doesn't seem to be working for other words. For example, I've been tracking "Silent Hunter" for a few days now and have twittered things like "had a blast playing Silent Hunter". The track doesn't update me.

Can I track the word sex? LOL sorry I'm dirty I know but I'm trying to have fun.

You need to have either your phone or IM enabled for Track to work. We won't send track messages if it's only enabled for direct messages.

Hi there,

there's a known bug that we *say* you can track words like "the", "and", and other common words, but we don't actually let you track those words ;-)

We do this because tracking common words would match on every other Twitter, and doesn't fulfill the goal of Track, which is to give you more information about the topics that you care about.

We're working on a fix so that we reply with an accurate list of words that you're tracking, and a web interface to help you manage your tracked words. This feature is definitely in beta, and your feedback is very important to us!

Intermittent Page not found error on www.twitter.com
'Message not delivered' error when sending texts
My RSS feed for my web site not working

Whats happening?

epaga replied on November 15, 2007 07:12 to the problem "Twitter Tracker is not working" in Twitter:

Yeah, still not working here either. What's strange is that it seems to be working fine for most people. And what's also strange is very rarely I actually DO get an update for one of the tracks, but only maybe 2 or 3 times a day.

crazygurlbritt replied on November 15, 2007 05:19 to the problem "Twitter Tracker is not working" in Twitter:

this is still not working for me. I have tried to track several words and then I update with the words in them and nothing happens. I have just decided that I'm going to probably just give up on this Twitter thing. I thought it could be cool but I've spent 3 days trying to make this work for me.

crazygurlbritt replied on November 14, 2007 16:07 to the problem "Twitter Tracker is not working" in Twitter:

I am having the same problem. I am tracking the word sex and nothing is popping up. How can nobody be having sex!?

epaga replied on November 14, 2007 15:35 to the problem "Twitter Tracker is not working" in Twitter:

Just by the way, I've now had two tweet updates sent throughout the day for various words I'm tracking, but still no tweets with the word "the", nor do any of my own tweets with words that I'm tracking ever get sent to me as an update.

Hi Epaga,

By personal use we're not talking about which email address you use (work or home) or for what purposes you're working with Sandy (business or personal). As you rightly surmised, our policy is focused on making sure that anyone wanting to turn Sandy into a business or resell her services in some way has a conversation with us.

Of course I can't speak to your company's policy on outside services, but that I'll leave between you and them.

We will, though, take a run at making the language a little clearer on that point -- thanks so much for bringing it up.

As for the policy@valuesofn.com address -- that's now working again as expected (and of course anyone who has any similar questions that they'd prefer to address to us in private should feel free to write us there or at help@iwantsandy.com).

-Rael
