Hi, i'd like to register username "bandesz", which is taken, but was never updated. Is there a chance to get this name?

Chuck - a help request will get this done. I obtained an inactive username within max. of 10 days from submitting a help request. – ciotog, on July 15, 2008 19:04

The paradoxical difficulty doesn't end once the software is installed. I've played with Joomla in hopes it would be a good CMS for me, but I found it to be really a pain to do simple things. YMMV.

I dig Wordpress.

We do not currently have a tool to install Joomla, but it is something we are currently working on.

Augie shared an idea in Sonic.net on June 26, 2008 16:43:

Sonic.net releases a few good Blogs.

For the last few weeks we here at Sonic.net have been working on setting up a few new Blogs to increase transparency into our company and keep our customers and the public at large more informed about our latest developments.

These Blogs are:

The Sonic.net CEO Blog - http://corp.sonic.net/ceo/ : Postings from Dane Jasper our CEO.

The Sonic.net Insider Blog - http://corp.sonic.net/insider/ : The inside scoop on the goings on at Sonic.net.

The Sonic.net Internals Blog - http://corp.sonic.net/internals/ : The technical internal workings of Sonic.net; a blog for System and Network Admins.

The Sonic.net Status Blog - http://corp.sonic.net/status/ : Messages on the current status of Sonic.net’s systems and equipment.

For ease of use you can see the latest content from all these Blogs aggregated at http://corp.sonic.net/blogs/ with links at the top of the page to the other Blogs; clicking on the title of a post will take you to the original posting where you can then leave a comment if you like.

It is our hope that these efforts along with other efforts will increase the communication and transparency we have with our customers and that that improved communication will improve the experience that our customers have with Sonic.net.

Yes, what you described is consistent with my own experience.

The Twitter status blog at http://status.twitter.com also lists IM as being offline, so the problem is with the IM feature itself, not with your account.

I suggest you *don't* try removing your IM to re-verify it at this point, because you won't be able to.

Also, you may wish to follow the main "IM is offline thread" since Twitter is more likely to post updates there.

For the past few days at least, Twitter is still shown as Offline in Jabber (FWIW I'm using Miranda-IM's Jabber protocol to access GTalk), but messages are in fact coming in. AFAICT, my outgoing messages are not received by Jabber.

thanks! – Jen, on June 19, 2008 04:59

mdy replied on June 19, 2008 03:57 to the problem "twitter@twitter.com offline in GTalk" in Twitter:

Yes, unfortunately, IM is still offline, so it's not a problem with your account, but rather a problem with the Twitter IM service itself.

You can see the status of the various Twitter services on the Twitter Status blog at http://status.twitter.com

Also, you may want to follow the main "Twitter IM is offline" thread since that has the most replies and is likely to be where further announcements will be made.

still not online for me...

so why is not on?? it have been a long time

mdy replied on June 15, 2008 09:37 to the problem "gtalk twitter@twitter.com not online" in Twitter:

The Twitter IM bot is still offline as of now, so people who are trying to verify their accounts won't be able to. People with existing, verified IM accounts are able to receive tweets from Twitter, but are unable to post updates via IM.

Twitter posts updates on their efforts to restore services on the Twitter Status Blog at http://status.twitter.com

Also, you may want to consider following this other thread, where more recent updates re: IM were posted by someone from Twitter..
