Since Twitter is unreliable, I would really appreciate using IM.

Hi Waffles! It's definitely been on our agenda, but we'd want to be sure that it was both stable and lived up to expectation. – Rael Dornfest, on June 26, 2008 10:01

Well, I thought I'd dig this up again. Twitter was Sandy's IM interface for a while, and now it's been gone for over a month.

I'm not going to ask for Sandy to have her own IM stuff done this week (although I wouldn't complain if she did). But I would like to know if this is still a possibility.

Right - the IM should not depend on Twitter. Twitter isn't dependable, so if I'm going to depend on Sandy I need a better way of interacting with her. The web interface is nice, but it's not going to integrate with any type of smooth consistent daily workflow. IM solves all those problems and it's not very hard to set up. I want to use Sandy on a daily basis for everything, but I need either a nearly-flawless twitter or IM to make that happen.

Twitter IM is broken. Just thought you'd like to know that.

Care to share?

just found out how to link sandy+twitter+im couple days ago. Also found out that twitter stopped their im service.

+1 for Sandy+im without twitter

I hope that the last week or two of im-less twittering has elevated the priority of this a bit.

I would vote for native XMPP (jabber -- gtalk, etc)

Dag Odenhall replied on May 16, 2008 21:53 to the idea "Add IM with Sandy" in I want Sandy:

I would enjoy a native MSN Sandy. I've already got her on Jabber via Twitter, and IMified when the Twitter bot is down; but the interfaces aren't nice and sandy (uh, dandy) and, friends on Windows do not usually have Jabber clients installed but always an MSN client. I find IM to be the quickest way to interact with Sandy so it'd be neat to have when borrowing a computer.

Also, Sandy doesn't seem to respond to lookups via Twitter. That is something which would be absolutely valuable to access via IM.

Update: internally it could of course be a Jabber client employing xmpp transports - so long I can add Sandy on MSN without resorting to Jabber (or otherwise) myself. I tend to avoid installing programs on other folks' computers.

I'd really like to be able to use AIM since that seems to be more reliable than Twitter. Can we get a very general/rough guess on when this could happen?

Grant replied on May 09, 2008 23:14 to the idea "Add IM with Sandy" in I want Sandy:

I too hope to see Sandy talking to me directly through Jabber...I think it would be far more efficient than through email.

There are some round-about ways to accomplish this via Twitter, but I'd definitely love to have this as a native feature. It just seems natural to "ping" your assistant. Plus, it mitigates the risk of accidentally broadcasting to the world "Remember to buy [insert embarrassing item here]".

I'm trying to remember life before Sandy, but am not much enjoying the memories...

Just a quick 'bump' to see if there is any more info about this functionality.

I would very much love an IM option.

Chris replied on February 12, 2008 18:35 to the idea "Add IM with Sandy" in I want Sandy:

IM would be awesome...plus on the iPhone when I twitter Sandy "d s etc..." the iPhone always suggests "d a." So, I worry about mistelling whomever "a" is on twitter (if anyone).
