Status.twitter.com has recognized the problem and Twitter says they're working on a fix:

Yup, seeing this too. Very weird. I am able to view new @ replies though.

Evan replied on October 06, 2009 19:07 to the idea "Approving Followers To Reduce SPAM" in Twitter:

It's definitely a valid request, however that means you're going to inconvenience EVERY user on Twitter EACH time they try to follow someone. That's a ton of collective hassle. Instead, a better approach might be a more-one time inconvenience, such as verifying an account. Alternatively, dong something to limit the number of people that can be followed in a given time period — like one minute.

Evan asked a question in Twitter on October 06, 2009 19:04:

Can you embed a List (new beta feature) in a widget?

I set a list of alums from my college newspaper, using Twitter's new Lists feature, which is in beta. I'd really like to embed a widget that will display recent tweets from anyone on the list. Does anyone know if that's possible?

I know I can embed a widget that will display tweets from a particular search, or from my profile. Is there any way to do that for a list?

A comment on the question "What happened to HTML in broadcasts and welcome messages?" in Ning:

One more thing to note: The reason for the slip is that we actually prioritized items 3-5 from that blog post over no. 2. We'll continue to balance keeping Ning Creators in the loop about our priorities against a need to shuffle around features and improvements as best we can. I encourage you to take our estimates as just that, estimates of when a new feature will be released. Though we'll definitely do our best to stick to them. – Evan, on September 29, 2009 23:26

Evan replied on September 29, 2009 18:17 to the question "how do I post a song on twitter?" in Twitter:

You should try blip.fm. It's a good service that essentially does what you're asking.

Evan replied on September 29, 2009 18:16 to the question "People can't find me on Twitter!!!" in Twitter:

What do you mean when you say people can't locate you? you have a twitter.com/username, so people can visit your page that way.

And make sure you use your regular email address to sign in to twitter. That way, other people who have that email on their contact list can find you that way.

Evan replied on September 29, 2009 18:15 to the question "NO! I don't wanna meet..." in Twitter:

Unfortunately, spam is a problem on Twitter.

Are they sending @ replies at you, or requesting to follow you? My suggestion would just be to ignore those spammers, or block them if you really care. If you ignore them, they won't do much harm. You can also send a tweet to @spam flagging the spammers — Twitter usually deletes the accounts before too long.

Evan replied on September 25, 2009 18:42 to the problem "PLEASE FULLY DELETE MY ACCOUNT" in Twitter:

Yeah looks like they make it tough to contact them. My advice would be to get your login creditals (click "Forgot password" on the sign in box). Then, once you can log in, click "Settings" at the top:

Sounds like the problem is on Twitter's end (don't think the mobile provider has anything to do with that), so I'd drop them a note at support AT twitter DOT com. Hopefully they can fix!

Evan replied on September 24, 2009 23:12 to the problem "When I tweet, twitter texts me. That's not right... right?" in Twitter:

Does it happen when you tweet from your phone (to 40404) as well, or just via the web site/mobile apps? That's annoying.

If you turn device updates off, does it still happen?

Evan replied on September 24, 2009 22:59 to the problem "When I tweet, twitter texts me. That's not right... right?" in Twitter:

Whoa, that's super weird. I suggest going to http://twitter.com/devices and clicking the "Delete and start over" button.



There's no option to start receiving SMS updates for your own tweets, so I'm not sure how that could have happened.

Evan replied on September 24, 2009 22:44 to the problem "PLEASE FULLY DELETE MY ACCOUNT" in Twitter:

Seems like something you should contact Twitter about, instead of posting here. You can drop them a line here:

Evan replied on July 08, 2009 08:55 to the question "Will Ning ever have status updates in their social networks?" in Ning:

Hi Zohra,

We do that because we like to give Network Creators an idea of what's coming up, even if it may shift or get held back. I'm sorry if that's frustrating for you, but we think most Network Creators are helped by getting an idea of what's in the pipeline.

Cheers,
Evan
