Well, I'm full of it, it seems. This might do it.

1) In your account, go to 'Settings.'
2) Click the 'Notices' tab.
3) On @Replies change it to 'no @replies'.

You won't receive any @reply messages that way. As long as you don't also track your twitter account's name, you shouldn't receive any of the messages directed at you.

(That'll teach me not to look at my settings...)

Thanks for your response. The only issue is that even if no one reads the messages in the brand's account, we would still be held legally liable for receiving the messages and not responding or reacting in an appropriate way. – Priscilla, on June 16, 2008 14:52

You can't really stop people from replying to you if they want to. All they have to do is type @yourbrandname. Doesn't mean whoever is controlling your brand's Twitter account has to read them, though.

Maybe this'll help someone...
While looping through the XML with PHP5 you can correct the time yourself using the DateTime object:
$dt = new DateTime($status->created_at);
$dt->modify("-7 hours");
echo $dt->format('D'),', ',$dt->format('F'), ' ',
$dt->format('j'),', ',$dt->format('Y'),' @ ',
$dt->format('G'),':',$dt->format('i');

This is totally messing up my twitter+wordpress integration.

hey is this why my SMS timestamps are behind 8 hours? (I'm in GMT minus 8)

cfred, Sorry about the strange behavior. As you can see by this thread, the bug has been present for a while. It seems you were able to create an account, and I'm glad about that.

We're scrambling towards a release at the moment, but I'll be sure to prioritize this bug (since it's a terrible user experience) for a fix. We'll be working on error messages throughout the site.

Thanks for letting us know.

That's curious. Even though I got the "emails is invalid" error, it seems to have quietly created my account anyway. This is utterly bizarre behaviour.

The bug still exists. I can't sign in either.

Sorry about the confusion about the timezone. This is a bug that we're working on. We will let you know once we get this bug fixed.

philulrich reported a problem in Twitter on November 30, 2007 14:05:

Why are the timestamps in Twitter RSS feeds listed in GMT?

Preface: my computer's timezone, and my Twitter account's timezone, are both set to GMT-5 (Eastern Standard Time). I just posted a tweet.

* On twitter.com, this tweet shows up with the correct timestamp - 8:59am.

* On my twitter RSS feed, however, the timestamp for this same exact tweet is 1:59pm (to be more exact, Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:59:31 +0000).

Despite my timezone setting being correct, my Twitter RSS feed seems to have time stamps in GMT+0 -which is inconvenient, since I pull my twitter RSS feed into a blog and my tweets sit on top of all my actual posts for quite a while due to these incorrect timestamps.

Well, I went ahead and tried it anyhow. Answer: PodWorks can definitely -see- the ringtones, but it can't take them from the phone - I wish I'd written the error message down. I'll try it again later; right now, it's busily copying everything on my iPod to my iTunes library - which it's been doing for a while now. :)

Video works, but I'm going to have to look into the ringtone thing. Probably for PodWorks 3.0...
