Twitter and Jaiku messages (and probably others) are truncated at less then 140 characters.
I triple checked this: I could post exactly the same message to Twitter without having it truncated.
Here is the message, for testing:
--
discovered BarCamp wiki - Big list of upcoming barcamps worldwide. I'll try to follow some of their online coverage: http://twurl.nl/1kd4il
--
In Twitter the last 6 were truncated, in Jaiku the last two.

Do you like any Twitterati so much that you have subscribed to their tweets in your feed reader?

"post to Email" (e. g. to a good friend who is not in Twitter) should be easy to implement and would be nice to have

A comment on the question "Position on the web page changes when you change the zoom level in Firefox 2 or 3" in Mozilla:

Yes, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug... describes it exactly. Sadly, it is not fixed in Firefox 3. It really annoys me. – Helge, on August 04, 2008 11:07

It is a pain to find the topics I started in Get Satisfaction, Dashboard cluttered

It is a pain to find the topics I started in Get Satisfaction. My Dashboard is cluttered with tons of replies to "Twitter IM down May 23rd-May24th" consisting of "Yeah I have this problem too" even though I stopped following it (but actually I would like to set it to "I have this problem" but not follow all the stupid replies.)

You should be able to search for channels. It is strange that you have to "create" a channel to join it, if you cannot find it in the list you are offering

Somehow the problem disappeared. But I don't know why. I haven't changed a thing. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Data loss through accidentally removed labels

Problem: If you mess up while removing labels, there is no way to find these mails again if you don't know their content.
What if you have a label full of important todos and mark them all and remove the wrong label by accident? It will be hard or impossible to find these again in "All mail" if they are from a wide date range, which can happen in the label "Priority 5". OK, if you notice the mistake at once you can still revert it... but that is pretty weak compared to the possible data loss.

My proposed solution: Google should have a "recently relabeled"-view: It should be like "All mail" but sorted by the date when the mails had their labels changed.

Unspecific notification settings are annoying

From your "Email & Notifications" settings:

"Send me email at my primary email address about new replies on topics I have posted, replied to, or followed"

That is really unspecific!
How about setting these per posting?
Usually If I have posted a problem myself, I want a notification on any comment.
But if I am only annoyed by something, like Twitter's IM-feature turned of, I don't want an email whenever another poor guy replys with "yes, this is so bad!", but I still want to follow that posting to show Twitter that it is important.

Google calendar doesn't send email reminders for some of my events any more

Google calendar doesn't send email reminders for some of my events any more.

It used to work just fine. A couple of days ago I switched on email reminders for my other calendars and edited these events. But I doubled checked that they still have the email reminder option set up correctly. The reminder option of this calendar is also set up correctly.
I am getting email reminders for other events in this calendar.

This is worse than it might sound because now I lost confidence in Google calendar and will stop using it if this persists because these reminders are too important.

No they are not in my spam filter and they are not catched by a mail filter.

Dear Twitter-people, please please put a note that it's offline on the IM-setup page! Probably hundreds of people are frustrated by trying to set it up!

It is a software you download and install. I recommend to remove it completely. – Helge, on June 21, 2008 09:12
