Yes, it seems there was an issue with matching multiple keyword terms. This should be fixed now (at least as far as I can see), but please let me know if you continue to see this problem.-

Update: I added another (new) twitterfeed with NO keywords, 1 hour pull, same /feed and it worked fine. Is there some issue with the keyword usage that limits function? And yes, each of the other blog posts very specifically had keywords that should have activated the twitterfeed. It seems the just aren't even checking for feed pull. Should I simply delete them and start over?
Thanks for your reply and have a great day! -

But this worked before??Hi Mario,
Seems as if the twitterfeeds I have created a while back are not updating. I went in and changed frequency to 1 hr. I added some keywords. I parsed the feed. I checked the twitter connection. Those worked OK. But it still (after about 30 hours) shows the last feedpull status as March 28, even though there have been multiple feed tests in the last 24 hours.
feed is clarkcountytoday.wordpress.com/feed
twitter account is vancouverusa
Any ideas?
By the way, I tried to DM you on twitter (I follow you), could you please follow back. I am "homesights". -

FWIW, after multiple tests, some info I figured out and pass along for others, if you already know this, please ignore it after the fact. ;-)
If you have a blog post Without a title, and send twitterfeed set up with "Title only" it will send the first 40 or so characters of your post and truncate the rest. If you have it set up with "Desc only" it will send the whole thing (subject to the 140).
So that resolves part of the question from above.
Still not satisfied that the keyword thing works though. -
Mario Menti replied on March 27, 2008 21:11 to the question "Does this function with multiple twitter accounts?" in twitterfeed:
Absolutely - your twitterfeed user (the OpenID you use) is completely separate from your twitter user. You can set up multiple twitter feeds to the same or to multiple twitter accounts. -

Does this function with multiple twitter accounts?Can I send to different twitter accounts - logged in under a single twitterfeed user account - from the same blog feed? (whether directed based on keywords or not?) Or do I need a twitterfeed account for each?
Say I want my twitter that my wife follows to pick up stuff with keyword wife, but want my twitter that my girlfriend follows to only pick up stuff with keyword girlfriend. Can I twitterfeed those from the same blog?
Above example hypothetical, of course. ;-) -

Feed submitted but keyword did not activate to Twitter. Hmmm. -

Most recent post a few minutes ago actually worked for the character count issue. Not sure what I changed, but I'll go with it. Now to focus on the keyword issue. I deleted the feed and created again to see if a fresh start would help. I'll let you know -

I understand the process, and it would make sense, but thats not what is happening. Here is an example:
Original post: (wordpress.com)
so now in the Vanusa account I have removed linkage url and removed prefic and set to description only... does this add to this length of the post? 151
What showed up in twitter and on thwirl:
vancouverusa so now in the Vanusa account I have remo ... http://tinyurl.com/yqgbva 15 minutes ago from twitterfeed
Any ideas? Thanks for the timely reply. -

Re. the lenght of posts: Where exactly the text gets truncated depends on a few things. In order to make sure the entire post fits into the with friends timeline, twitterfeed has 140 characters to play with. From that, it takes off the length of the twitter id, the pre-string (if any) and the URL (if any), and then cuts off the text at the relevant place. So in theory at least it should be pretty optimised to get as much text in there as possible, but if you have an example of where this isn’t the case, please let me know some details and I’ll take a look.
Re. the filtering, this should work in a very simple way, with no need for quotes. So yes, just entering "word" (without the quotes) in the box should match posts containing wordpress (also, it's not case sensitive). -
majecdad asked a question in twitterfeed on March 27, 2008 17:18:
Is there character limit, and a question of fliteringnew, but liking what I see so far... however, in the 2 posts I have gotten to work, they both seem to cut off at 40 character, then paste the url link. Is there a limit on the number of characters?
Question 2. I have yet to get the keyword filtering field to work properly... is this a functioning component? If so, do they need "quotes" around word? and will it pull with any part of that word. e.g. if the keyword is "word" will it pull if the post has "wordpress" in it?
Thanks Mario, I hope this thing really flies for you.
