Updates not appearing on Twitter Search. Please Help.

None of my tweets are showing in Twitter Search/Summize. I tried setting my updates to private, then back to public. This has solved the problem in the past, but not this time. Updating from web, Twitterfox and Twitterberry...Same for all: Keyword search returns nada. User Name search returns @replies but not my tweets. Last update appeared on Twitter Search 20 days ago. Even changed email, then changed that back. Nothing. Created new account and posted a tweet there and it appeared immediately on Twitter Search.

Also, I changed my account photo then changed it back, but it has now stopped appearing beside my old updates in Twitter Search. Instead, what appears is the beginning part of my pics' file name on my computer.

My Twitter account is http://twitter.com/ganeshpuri89

Note to the Twitterati: I'm pulling my hair out over here. Help, please restore my updates to Twitter Search/Summize.

I submitted a help request earlier today. It can be found at https://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg...

Hey Karl, glad you're being indexed again by Twitter Search. Followed your example and submitted a ticket tow Twitter. See if it helps. My updates stopped showing up on Twitter Search about 20 days ago.

If anyone from Twitter is following this thread a strange thing happened. I changed my account photo, then changed it back but it has now stopped appearing beside my old updates in Twitter Search. Instead, what appears is the beginning part of my pics file name on my computer.

I'm having problem, too. None of my tweets are showing in Twitter Search/Summize. I tried setting my updates to private, then back to public. This has solved the problem in the past, but not this time. Updating from web, Twitterfox and Twitterberry. Same for all: Keyword search returns nada. User Name search returns @replies but not my tweets. Last update that appeared on Twitter Search, 15 days ago. Looks like I'm being filtered?

A comment on the problem "Timeline not updating automatically" in Dipity:

Thanks for responding, BK. :>) The last time the timeline was updated was around 4:30 am this morning. But that wasn't an automatic update. I fed an RSS feed to it at that time and the timeline updated with some items from that feed. However, I'm certain timeline is not updating feeds automatically. Don't know if it's a problem with feeds or Dipity.

Here are three feeds:
http://www.google.com/reader/public/a...

http://www.google.com/reader/public/a...

http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab...

The first two are Google Reader. Of those two, the first should update whenever Dipity pings it because it is a category in my Google Reader which is constantly updated (I have about 75 blogs in that category). The second is the feed to all Google Reader items I tag with "Qaeda". I usually do this once a day. I've fed about a dozed GR tags to Dipity. Which means if Dipity pings that feed it may not be updated as I only tag once or twice a day.

As to the third feed, that's a Google News rss feed, which should supply new items every few hours when pinged.

To conclude, only time Dipity updates my timeline is if I load a new feed. I loaded the last one around 4:30 - 5:00 this morning, although timestamp on Dipity item shows time as 2:30ish, which is when item was published by author (nice programming on Dipity's part).

Thanks BK, hope that info helps.

Have to head to work, but have my BlackBerry with me.

Now working. A bug? Pardon the paranoia.

Topic Timeline completely disappeared.

Created a topic called "The Long War: radical islam, rogue states, cold warriors, summer soldiers and sunshine patriots"

http://www.dipity.com/user/ganeshpuri... now yields error message "Oops! Looks like the topic you're looking for doesn't exist."

The disappearance occurred AFTER I commented on Dipity Get Satisfaction about my timeline not updating automatically.

I hope this is due to a bug and not censorship! Would someone with Dipity please address this!

Timeline not updating automatically

Fed some Google Reader tags and Google News search term RSS into a timeline called "The Long War: radical islam, rogue states, cold warriors, summer soldiers and sunshine patriots" and is not automatically updating. Only time it updates is when I add a new feed. Lame.

Yep. Same problem here. Fed some Google Reader tags and Google News search term RSS into a timeline called "The Long War: radical islam, rogue states, cold warriors, summer soldiers and sunshine patriots" and is not automatically updating. Only time it updates is when I add a new feed. Lame.

Workaround for FireFox gray screen on login attempt: Click on "Create a New Topic". Login appears on page as opposed to popup.

Can't login in FireFox. CAN login in Internet Explorer.

Can't login to dipity in Firefox 3. Tabbed window goes gray with no pop-up login. IE no problem. login pops-up just fine. I tried adding dipity.com to FF pop-up exceptions and I disabled add-ons and restarted FF. Nada. Restarted computer. Nothing. Any one else ever encountered this problem?
