I had this issue over the past two days, but it seems to be resolved for me.

A comment on the idea ""Report To Spam"" in Thing Labs:

A lot of clients prompt with a message, "You'll follow @spam in order to use this feature.". I'd def. like that. – till, on October 30, 2009 19:10

A comment on the question "How do you export passwords and bookmarks from Chrome?" in Google:

Why is it so hard to read the question? =) People want to EXPORT PASSWORDS, not bookmarks. – till, on October 13, 2009 13:36

Import from FogBugz?

We are looking to migrate from Fogbugz and I was wondering if you considered offering an import from it. We are using a hosted version, but it exposes virtually everything at user.fogbugz.com/api.xml.

till started following the question "Will you offer import from Trac?" in hedgehog lab.

A comment on the discussion "Changes for SMS users: the good news and the bad" in Twitter:

Yeah, I second the password concern - if oauth would be back, then this would be a non-issue. ;)

Sorry to be negative, but this was one of the useful features left.

I mean, I see the costs and I'm kinda amazed that you guys did not cover this before. I honestly have a hard time believing you couldn't do a better job negotiating deals with local carriers.

Also, a 1,000 USD for 12,000 messages/user/year - shouldn't that be way more affordable? That's over 8cent/message?! Did you guys get ripped off? Even premium direct termination is cheaper at that volume.

Costs in the U.S. should be next to zero (txt can be faked via email), and I think the same applies to Canada. Many other companies make use of those services.

And a couple providers in Europe offer similar services (email to txt) to users. You might have to do more research though and/or educated your users on how to enable it for them (problem solved?). Also lots of people over here have "free" email on their phone while all other data is pretty pricey. Maybe you guys could start offering more export formats - such as, recently updated (= useful) feeds, maybe email notification etc..

Also, you might want to optimize the entire thing anyway. Sometimes you did send two messages when one was enough - just because e.g. you added a "Twitter-footer" to the message etc.. This sort of optimization could probably really save you guys money. ;)

If your API was less of a under construction thing, people could probably build apps on it to help other users. But, nah... ;)

till asked a question in Twitter on September 09, 2008 11:34:

When will oauth be back?

Oauth was briefly enabled a pretty long while ago, since then the "official" stance has been "soon". Can anyone tell us how soon?

A comment on the discussion "Changes for SMS users: the good news and the bad" in Twitter:

Haha... you demand 24 hour notice from a free service? Get real. – till, on September 09, 2008 11:29

A comment on the discussion "Changes for SMS users: the good news and the bad" in Twitter:

@Jack, can you please go a little into detail here? You guys like to be vague by using phrases like "soon" and "working on". Kinda like, "We're working to restore IM services to all users. Thanks for your patience!" - err.... yeah, only been there for six months. – till, on September 09, 2008 11:26

A comment on the question "Closed Beta: When will Twitter integration become available?" in Plazes:

IMHO a past activity shouldn't end up on twitter NOW. Twitter is about what you are doing, not what you did the day before yesterday. – till, on July 17, 2008 01:11

A comment on the question "Closed Beta: When will Twitter integration become available?" in Plazes:

This hasn't changed yet, right? It would be nice if I could customize the tweet. A while ago, Plazes had Skype integration (for the mood message) and it completely allowed the user to customiye the tweet. Otherwise this twitter integration is not very useful in its current state. – till, on July 17, 2008 00:45

To answer myself:

You guys could add a little link "downloads", or similar.

Sweet, but where is the download link? Since the redesign I can't find it anymore!

till replied on February 01, 2008 00:26 to the problem "don't receive sms updates on my phone anymore, why ?" in Twitter:

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

If you don't receive SMS, send "ON" to your Twitter phone#, and that is it.

I also frequently have the problem that I either get no SMS, or only SMS. It rarely ever works as expected since the Jabber twitter@twitter.com seems to be flakey, but there is not much you can do. Sending "ON" via Jabber or via your mobile usually fixes it.

I'd rather have a feed for those tags. This is pretty useless otherwise.

I pretty much have the same issue since the beginning of the month, I just did the "ON" thing and it said, it is now (?) on. I shall see how it works tomorrow.
