A comment on the question "How do I post to a Facebook Group?" in twitterfeed:

I'm not totally sure, maybe there's a difference between a Page and a Group on facebook.. we tested with pages, not totally sure if that should also cover groups, may need to take a closer look at the facebook API documentation. – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:51

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 22:47 to the problem "Bad twurl links recently." in twitterfeed:

Strange, the links in the feed look ok - if shortening via bit.ly fails consistently, could you check that the bit.ly API info is exactly as it appears at http://bit.ly/account/your_api_key/ (including upper/lower case in username, as bit.ly has been known to be quite fussy about this).
If the issue persists please let me know and I'll see if I can follow up with the guys at bit.ly directly.

A comment on the question "TF is posting every other blog post to twitter - help!" in twitterfeed:

I guess there's 2 possible problems - either your feed doesn't ping the pubsubhubbub hub when there's a new post (so in turn they don't notify us), or you notifiy them but for some reason they don't notify us. If you can, is there some way to confirm that your feed updates pubsubhubbub (to be honest I haven't looked into that side of things yet much, so will try and find more info). – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:33

You can post to a facebook Page rather than your own wall - once you authenticate at Facebook in the "create feed" page, if you're an adminstrator of one or more Pages, you get a second dropdown box where you can select the Page you want to post to.

A comment on the problem "Blog Updates Not Feeding Into Twitter" in twitterfeed:

We're getting "twitter responded: 401 Unauthorized" on this feed - could you try and edit the feed, and re-authorise twitterfeed at twitter, this should generate new tokens. For some reason or another the OAuth tokens we have on record for your account don't seem to be accepted at twitter when we try and update your status. – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:24

A comment on the problem "Blog Updates Not Feeding Into Twitter" in twitterfeed:

Could you let me know the twitter account you're posting to which shows the problem? – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:18

A comment on the problem "Blog Updates Not Feeding Into Twitter" in twitterfeed:

Apologies, there seemed to be a temporary issue with a batch of feeds which caused this problem, we believe this should be fixed now - but let me know if the problem persists. – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:17

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 22:15 to the problem "Strange - feed works fine, log in fine, but can't see feed" in twitterfeed:

If you don't want to post it publicly, could you let me know the email you registered with, and the twitter account you're posting to, to mario at betaworks dot com?

A comment on the question "Feeds not loading into Twitter" in twitterfeed:

Sorry if I missed the original question - could you remind me of the twitter account you're posting to? – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:14

A comment on the question "Scheduling tweets via 'update frequency'" in twitterfeed:

What I'm saying is that there is no clock to start - processing is spread across time during a day, so currently there's no way to decide at what time a tweet is sent. This may change in future, although not on the immediate short-term timeline. – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 22:12

A comment on the problem "Can't login and feed won't work" in twitterfeed:

Ah.. sorry for the confusion, we were talking at cross purposes...

Looking at the feed, I think I can see the issue - I think the links should contain just the "&" character, not the escaped version (the & amp;). Can you change this at the feed generation end?

So I think this link works:
http://www.illegaladvertising.com/ind...

.. but this one (which is how it appears in your feed) doesn't:
http://www.illegaladvertising.com/ind... – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 12:05

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 12:00 to the problem "xml feed no longer being published by twitterfeed" in twitterfeed:

It looks like the publish dates in the feeds are broken/illegal format, e.g. see http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?ur...

A comment on the problem "Can't login and feed won't work" in twitterfeed:

Well, maybe I'm missing something, but when I look at your feed at http://www.illegaladvertising.com/ind... and then at your twitter account at http://twitter.com/illegalads, it looks to me like every item in that feed is already in your twitter account? If not, can you let me know which item in this feed has *not* already been posted to http://twitter.com/illegalads? – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 11:53

A comment on the question "Account deletion" in twitterfeed:

This account has been deleted. My original comment was from 6 months ago, and at that time we were only using OpenID to sign in, no email address/passwords. So it was true at the time, not trying to teach you anything. – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 11:50

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 10:15 to the idea "Integration with Su.pr -- StumbleUpon's URL shortener" in twitterfeed:

Our development priorities mean that we want to complete a number of other things before looking at supr and similar additional URL shorteners. We are in the process of completely rewriting our backend to make it more scalable, and supporting realtime feed notifications, plus an extensive change to the database. These are important, core-type developments to make sure twitterfeed can handle the continuing huge growth in users, and are taking a lot of resource, and since we are still only a very small team we need to set some priorities.

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 10:10 to the problem "Stop Twitter Feeds" in twitterfeed:

These feeds were set up using a Google OpenID, so you should be able to login via "Sign In with OpenID" -> "Google", and then edit/delete your feeds as required.

A comment on the question "Make it stop! Can't find my original details." in twitterfeed:

richardlander: you should be able to "Sign In with OpenID" -> click the "OpenID" image/button, and enter "lander99.myvidoop.com" – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 10:07

A comment on the problem "Can't login and feed won't work" in twitterfeed:

Sorry, I'm a little confused - which items in the feed do you think should be posted but haven't? What I'm trying to say is that every item in that feed (http://www.illegaladvertising.com/ind...) has already been posted to the twitter account, which is why it currently isn't posting anything. If a new item appears in the feed, with a new GUID, then that should be posted. Basically, looking at your feed and your twitter account, all the items in the feed have already been posted to your twitter account. Does that make sense? – Mario Menti, on November 16, 2009 10:05

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 09:58 to the problem "skipping/missing some rss feed items" in twitterfeed:

Do you use the "post new items based on GUID" option (in advanced settings in twitterfeed)? This tends to work better for Google shared item feeds, because I think the items keep their existing pubDates, so if you add a new item to your shared items, but it has a pubDate that is older than an item we have already posted to twitter, twitterfeed won't consider it new. The "post by GUID" option gets around this, and may work better for you.

Mario Menti replied on November 16, 2009 09:56 to the problem "Account confusion (aka idiot user)" in twitterfeed:

Can you try http://bit.ly/openidreminder to see if you can get your old account info - which should then let you login and delete/edit these feeds.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you for some reason.
