Mario Menti's dashboard

I set up my Twitter Feed a few hours ago and I have posted several things on http://channel.hexus.net since then but no sign of them on Twitter. Any ideas?

Could you let me know your feed URL so I can take a look. Have you checked that each item in the feed contains a valid date/time stamp? twitterfeed needs this to determine which items in a feed are new and should be posted to twitter.

Mario - things look OK now, so whatever was wrong is apparently fixed. Thanks!

Could you provide the feed URL, so I can take a closer look?

I just ran it manually, and it worked.. so it looks like this may have been a temporary glitch (it does happen occasionally - but not often - that the twitter API responds with "OK" when posting, but the actual tweet doesn't appear). Please let me know if you continue to see problems with this feed, and I'll take a closer look. – Mario Menti, 1 day ago

I am having the same problem. My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/MsMichett...

It was working at first, but now is not. I am not sure about the other feed I have listed, but please can you check this one first? Thanks.

It all looks like it should work (the twitter API returns OK when posting), but the posts don't seem to appear. Could you try posting a test item manually yourself, and see if that appears? If not, then you'd need to contact twitter since it looks like the account has somehow been disabled.

Hi Rob - looking at the source of your feed, there are no items in it, so there's nothing for twitterfeed to post (or indeed anything for me to test). – Mario Menti, 1 day ago

My Feed doesnt display on Twitter.

My feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/Langaria

and my twitter user is http://twitter.com/robsainz

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, unfortunately this isn't implemented yet. It's on a to-do list somewhere, but can't promise exactly when I'll get round to improve on the filter functionality..

It works! :) After you suggestion that it might be a problem with the blog not being public, I went ahead and opened it up again to experiment. After a day of leaving it viewable, my blog worked as an OpenID for twitterfeed as well as Mixx.com. I guess when I tried to open it up before, I didn't give it enough time for the settings to take effect.

For anyone else with this same problem, make sure that you have your blog publicly viewable when you use it as an OpenID.

The funny thing is that I had the blog set to private when I first set up my twitterfeed login with it. Perhaps it's something that Wordpress has changed recently.

Thanks for your help, Mario.

matt, one problem I can see is that the friendfeed rss feed doesn't have unique links, so each flickr/twitter/etc.etc. post has the same URL, pointing to the service rather than to the individual item within that service (e.g. all updates to twitter have the link "http://twitter.com/mmelnick").

The way twitterfeed works is that it checks the item links for duplicates, if the item link is included in the post being sent to twitter. This would mean that in the case of the friendfeed feed, unless you post the items to twitter without the link, they won't go out if there are previous posts with that same link. If you turn off posting of links in the settings, then this will not be a problem.

If necessary I can take a look to get that changed on an optional basis (but the checking for duplicate links is actually a feature that had been requested often before, because it avoids posts being re-posted to twitter if only the publish date has changed).

But... I'm not really sure what you're actually trying to do - posting your friendfeed, which includes twitter updates, back to the same twitter account seems a little strange... wouldn't that create lots of duplication, and in the worst case some endless loops where posts get forever thrown between twitter->friendfeed->twitterfeed->back to twitter?

Mine isn't working at all now!

The feed i'm using is http://friendfeed.com/mattmelnick?for...

and my twitter user name is mmelnick

hope this helps. I like twitterfeed.

Ditto - just did the same...

Thanks - just send you an e-mail directly as requested with the info.

Tyson/Katong: if all else fails, please email me (mario at menti dot net) with your twitter username and password (so I can compare it to what I have on record in twitterfeed, and confirm that you are the owner of that account), and I can disable/delete the feeds manually.

I followed the first step, logging in using the OpenID shown on the form, but I can't seem to login to that OpenID URL. The OpenID provider, MyOpenID does not seem to have any of my email addresses on file... This is frustrating, because I can't see any way to "shut off" my feed from Facebook to Twitter. I've now evolved to the point where I want to go from Twitter to Facebook... and I fear catching the internet in an infinite loop...
