Jaiku now has unlimited invites for existing users as documented here: http://www.jaiku.com/blog/2008/08/27/...

If you don't know anyone who already has a Jaiku account then you can use this service to get an invite: http://jaikuinvites.com/need-an-invit...

Twitter's API limit has a max number of requests per hour per user. Checkout the thread that Jay provided

I've sent them a 'help' request about this issue. I have a problem with them changing my messages, using TinyURL when it's not needed, and ruining the freaking link. I agree with colm.

Awesome, Thanks!

In a blogpost earlier this month, Twitter said that the Replies Tab will now show @replies addressed to you, even from people you're not following.

Twitter's FAQ page on @replies has also been updated to reflect this. Here's the relevant excerpt:

All replies to you show up under this tab regardless of whether you follow the person replying, unless you've blocked the person, in which case their replies will not show up.

erikmichael replied on May 30, 2008 19:22 to the question "Will I ever see @replies from people I don't follow?" in Twitter:

I agree with everyone else. I would love to have @ replies that are directed at me shown to me even when I do not follow them. I know for many people, (not me), many people follow them that they do not even know, but it may be good for them to see what they write to them..

I'm using '07 also. I fiddled with the layout after the third try without any better results. When I import the csv file it dumps the Company name into the Name field, then inserts First & Last name into the Notes field.

@awakin - what version of Outlook? I'm using '07 and it worked perfectly for me first time...

I have tried this numerous times and I have had poor results with importing into Gmail. Nothing better than having to deleting 1000+ contacts from Gmail 20 at a time! I guess that is a beef with Gmail and not Twitter.

Nice work-around. – mdy, on May 09, 2008 06:34

You can import contacts into Twitter from, e.g. GMail, and you can then Find & Follow (or send invites to) the results. You can import contacts into GMail by exporting a CSV file from Outlook (File --> Import and Export... --> Export to a file --> Comma Separated Values (Windows) --> [select file] --> Save As...)

This feature would be very helpful those who manage their contacts in Outlook.

My twitter updates started flooding in after a scheduled maintenance outage by Twitter.

If any of the people in this thread happen to be in Italy, it turns out that Twitter's sms service in Italy has been partially suspended due to cost.

By "partially suspended," this means you can still send tweets to update your account from your phone, but you will no longer be receiving tweets.

Here's the link to the official word from Twitter re: Italy.

Sprint told me to contact Twitter, but clearly this application has so many bugs and issues that i might be a few years before they reply. Great concept horrible product!

A comment on the problem "I can't set up my phone with Twitter; is my phone supported?" in Twitter:

Hi queenalene -- may I suggest that you post a new topic that's just focused on the browser problem, since it might be missed or overlooked in this topic? – mdy, on April 21, 2008 23:45

queenalene replied on April 21, 2008 20:14 to the problem "I can't set up my phone with Twitter; is my phone supported?" in Twitter:

My husband and I both use Sprint and use texting all the time. He was able to get his phone to verify easily, but mine is not verifying at all.
I don't get any response from twitter or google. Google used to give me responses back until a few months ago.
Is it possible that Sprint could conditionally support short codes? or is there another issue here?
Also, on a different note, the way sessions are handled with twitter is quite dysfunctional. I log in to twitter in one browser while my husband is logged in in another browser and some of the pages inside twitter recognize me as being logged in while others like Devices think that my husband is logged in.
I agree with keeping the comments nice, these are humans we're dealing with and they're offering a free service. I, for one, am very grateful for the service.

Yes, I would like an option to see @ replies to me from people I don't follow.

Skrud replied on April 10, 2008 01:16 to the question "Will I ever see @replies from people I don't follow?" in Twitter:

I would love a feature (read: "option") where you see replies to *you*, even if you're not following the person making the reply. Who knows, maybe you'll find that person interesting and follow them later on.
