Feed Not Updating Regularly

The TwitterFeed feed pointing to Twitter @BestAt has not updated for 5 days. Can you please help?

Joe Lazarus started following the question "My blogs have vanished from Technorati!" in Technorati.

A comment on the problem "My TwitterFeed isn't updating regularly." in twitterfeed:

Mario, the feed is still not updating regularly. The last update to @BestAt was 17 hours ago even though the feed is valid, it's set to update every 30 minutes, and there have been items in it during that time. Did you have any luck investigating the issue? It's been happening for months. @BestAt has nearly 400k followers, so it's affecting a lot of people. – Joe Lazarus, on July 10, 2009 22:53

My TwitterFeed isn't updating regularly.

My TwitterFeed isn't updating to Twitter account @BestAt. There are usually updates to the feed every hour, but for the last several days, TwitterFeed posts new updates to Twitter only once or twice a day. When I check the feed in TwitterFeed, it often says it's unable to parse the feed. I looked at the feed and checked it using an online feed validator tool. Nothing appears to be wrong with it. Please help.

A comment on the idea "Option to disable browser popup & get daily digest instead" in Zentact - Network Better:

Ideally, I'd like a list stored on my page at Zentact.com that is sorted in reverse chronological order by default... showing the most recent sites I visited that are relevant for my contacts. Next to each site link, you would show all the contacts that might be interested in that link. If I clicked on a contact name, I'd see a list of all the site links that are relevant for that person (in reverse chronological order) along with an option to send either one link from that list or check multiple links and send them as a batch to my friend.

Basically, I want the toolbar to collect the site recommendations throughout the day, but I'll probably only send out emails once a week or so. – Joe Lazarus, on December 13, 2008 22:23

Automated tagging for my contacts

I would like an option to import friends from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, etc. In those cases, it would be great if Zentact imported not only the list of contacts, but the system also automatically recommended tags based on the content my friends contribute to those sites. For example, if my friend posts a lot of Twitter updates about the iPhone, Zentact should suggest that as a tag for that contact. A few companies like Yahoo! provide keyword extraction API's which could convert the text posts from those sites into lists of tags.

Option to disable browser popup & get daily digest instead

I like the idea of Zentact, but I find it really distracting as I'm browsing the web. I'd like an option to turn off the browser popup and instead receive a full list of all the link suggestions either as a daily email or on my Zentact profile page. That way, I get all the value of staying in touch with old contacts, but I'm not interrupted as I'm doing other things on the web throughout the day.

Yes, please add this if you can. I'm a heavy user of Yahoo! Pipes, which allows non-technical people like me to create pretty powerful RSS feeds with no programming knowledge. I would love to be able to use the output from Y! Pipes as an input to Tarpipe.

Joe Lazarus asked a question in Mr. Tweet on November 25, 2008 23:56:

How do I join Mr. Tweet and see my report?

I started following MrTweet on Twitter per the instructions, but nothing happened as far as I can tell. It's a very confusing signup process. How do I see my report? Also, is there a way to join without following MrTweet? I'm not interested in reading all his customer service replies to other people. I just want to see my report. The concept is interesting, but the user experience is really odd and confusing.

A comment on the problem "I emailed a video to 12, but it never appeared on my page" in 12seconds:

Cool, thanks. It might be more clear if the site created a page for videos before they were rendered that indicated the upload status like on Vimeo, YouTube, etc. That way the person who uploads at least knows whether the video is in the queue or if there was an error. – Joe Lazarus, on October 12, 2008 19:37

It would be nice if there was some sort of status indicator so I know whether 12 is still rendering the video or if it was lost entirely. I have no idea what's going on with the video I sent, so I resent it, but now I may end up with a duplicate.

Direct Message Count Bug

The direct message count that is shown in the right column of twitter.com fluctuates plus or minus one as I click between the various tabs.

I'm sure the official Brightkite badge will replace this, but till that's live, here's an interim option...

Plus Signs Bug

I posted a note that included some "+" plus signs...

But the plus signs disappeared when the message was sent to Twitter...

Otherwise, I'm really enjoying Brightkite so far.

Joe Lazarus replied on April 18, 2008 02:34 to the question "Do Tumblr and Feerburner play nice?" in Tumblr:

Yes, you can, but you need to know some HTML. If you use the advanced theme editor and find the code that points to the standard RSS feed, you can edit it and point it to your Feedburner feed. How you do that depends on the exact design theme you're using.

Import RSS as Video / Audio Post

It would be great if Tumblr offered an option to import RSS feeds as video or audio posts. The media enclosure would become a flash video / audio post and the item description would become the caption.
