Well, I won't be able to use the BlackBerry version. I'm on Windows Mobile and I have to go to m.foursquare.com through the web browser.

Remember my login state on the mobile website

Could you please use cookies so I don't have to log into foursquare every time I want to check in through the mobile website?

It seems that most of the time I load up m.foursquare.com I have to log in. It would save me a lot of time if you could use cookies to save my login state (like m.twitter.com does).

Here is one for Reykjavik: http://getsatisfaction.com/foursquare...

Please merge venues (Reykjavik)

There is a typo in a venue in Reykjavik. Please merge Seranos with Serrano:
http://foursquare.com/venue/338944
http://foursquare.com/venue/369150
(Serrano is the correct spelling)

Hannes started following the idea "Correcting Venue Names" in foursquare.

Hannes started following the question "Correct a venue name after checkin?" in foursquare.

Sleep looks correct to me.

Hannes replied on March 13, 2009 10:41 to the problem "gmt times changed?" in your.flowingdata:

Yup, me too. The times used to be correct but now they're not.
I live in Iceland - we're GMT and don't have daylight saving time.

Hannes replied on January 28, 2009 16:54 to the problem "Deleted tweets show up in search results." in Twitter:

You can see an example here:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=of...

The first 2 results (right now) link to these tweets:
http://twitter.com/officialstation/st...

http://twitter.com/officialstation/st...
- which is the one I deleted (because I noticed a typo)

Hannes reported a problem in Twitter on January 19, 2009 16:48:

Deleted tweets show up in search results.

More than a month ago I posted a test tweet and deleted it immediately. The problem is that this test tweet (still) shows up on search results on http://search.twitter.com

That's not normal behavior, right? That deleted tweets are still in the search database?

Also happening on my blog. I had the Twitter javascript badge but I've disabled it now.

Hannes replied on December 09, 2008 16:04 to the idea "Return to previous page after logging in" in TwitPic:

So... do you think this is a good idea?
I think it's a pretty logical function for a website that requires you to log in.

Mix-up with "in reply to" links.

The "in reply to" feature is a great way to see both sides of the conversation - but the last few days I've noticed a glitch in the "in reply to" links.

Example:
http://twitter.com/miacross/statuses/...
That tweet says "@withapassion Whatever. It's called my editor uses spell check. Have you ever read Jonathan Safran Foer's Tweets? S*** is nonsensical.
about 16 hours ago from web in reply to goodwolve"

So, even though the tweet starts with "@withapassion" it says "in reply to goodwolve". But the previous tweet from miacross was actually in reply to goodwolve:
http://twitter.com/miacross/statuses/...

I noticed a similar problem here:
http://twitter.com/andrisig/statuses/...
That tweet says ""Það þarf að skipta um stjórn Seðlabankans [..] og ef ríkisstjórnin ræður ekki við það verk þá þarf hún sjálf að víkja" - Þorvaldur Gylfason ... 4:32 PM Oct 12th from web in reply to officialstation"

That one doesn't start with "@" but it still says "in reply to officialstation". Again, the previous tweet from andrisig was a reply to officialstation:
http://twitter.com/andrisig/statuses/...

Hannes replied on October 13, 2008 00:12 to the problem "Accented characters truncate text?" in TwitPic:

I'm also having this problem - with Icelandic characters - like ö, á, ó, etc... Are you working on fixing this?

But I tried sending the photo again with the same text - but instead of ö I just wrote the HTML equivalent, or: & ouml; [without the space after &] and it looks like that worked.

Return to previous page after logging in

It would be great if after logging in you return to the page you were on originally (and not the front page).

Hannes started following the idea "Is it possible to have [Next] and [Previous] links on individual tweet pages?" in Twitter.

Secure Connection Failed on explore.twitter.com in Firefox 3

I was checking out my own Twitter profile ( http://twitter.com/officialstation ) and when I clicked on the people that I follow I went to a URL like https://explore.twitter.com/ev - But Firefox 3 didn't trust that site and I got this error message:

"Secure Connection Failed

explore.twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for twitter.com

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)"

I noticed that the explore.twitter.com format was not on other people's profiles. I had a theory that the explore sub-domain only appeared on the profile of the user that's logged in to Twitter. But then I logged out and explore.twitter.com was still on the links to the people I was following.

My RSS feed isn't working

This isn't a major problem because I'm not personally using my RSS feed for anything - but there might be other people that want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Well, I just wanted to let you know that my feed is empty:
http://twitpic.com/photos/officialsta...

I checked the feed for a few other accounts and they seemed to work - displayed photos and text.

Make some of my tweets private (protected)

I think it could be useful if I could make some tweets private (protected) while leaving the rest of my twitter account public. Kind of like on Flickr - you might want to show everybody most of your photos but every now and then you want to share photos only with friends and family.
