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

I think this seems to be working, but let me know if I'm missing something or the problem persists. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:57

Could you let me know the twitter account you're posting to? – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:54

Mario Menti replied on December 04, 2009 12:50 to the question "When will Twitterfeed support negative filters (filter *out* buy keyword)?" in twitterfeed:

For the time being, you could use a tool like Yahoo! Pipes to "pre-process" the feed, before passing it to twitterfeed. We will look into this again, but in the very short term have other development priorities I'm afraid.

A comment on the problem "Twitterfeed double poss RSS entries on twitter?" in twitterfeed:

Do the answers above not solve it? If not, can you be more specific what the exact problem is, and let us know the feed URL and twitter account you're posting to, so we can take a closer look. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:49

OK, that's done now.

I think I already responded on twitter.

Mario Menti replied on December 04, 2009 12:33 to the problem "PubSubHubBub from Feedburner not working in real time?" in twitterfeed:

We currently have about 70% of feeds on the backend, with the others being moved across slowly, so not all feeds support it yet. This is mostly because we're seeing quite a number if issues around pubsubhubbub, so need to do the migration relatively slowly so we can address issues as they appear.

A comment on the idea "Feeds not being passed to FB or Twitter" in twitterfeed:

I think the most recent posts are there now, but let me know if I'm missing something or the problem persists. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:31

Mario Menti replied on December 04, 2009 12:29 to the problem "Twitterfeed does not tweet my blogposts anymore" in twitterfeed:

For some reason we haven't received any realtime pubsubhubbub notifications for this feed - for now I've set the feed back to regular polling, at least until we figure out the reason.

A comment on the problem "can't log in with technorati id" in twitterfeed:

Thanks, I responded on twitter, we can move the feeds to a new account if you let us know the new account details. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:24

A comment on the question "403 error: Forbidden - status parameter??" in twitterfeed:

Very odd - for now I have set the feed back to the old feed processing, until we work out why this is happening, may be related to the new pubsubhubbub notification support. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:21

Mario Menti replied on December 04, 2009 12:15 to the question "Javascript showing in tweets" in twitterfeed:

Can you let me know the feed URL and I'll take a look. Perhaps some of that code isn't escaped correctly in the source feed, so our HTML stripping doesn't see it?

A comment on the problem "Feeds Not Updating" in twitterfeed:

I can see the most recent post I think - but perhaps the issue here is with a combination of real-time notifications, and a setting that should only post every 6 hours.

What basically happens is that we are not checking your feed anymore, but have subscribed for updates from the hub. So when we receive a notification containing one or more new updates, we post these update - *unless* we have already posted some updates within this 6 hour window that you specified. Essentially it means that if we receive multiple update notifications within a frequency window (as per feed settings), we will only post item(s) from one of these, in order to honour the user setting. Does that make sense?

Re. the message, this is ok - if there are no new items, this message won't change, because we're actually not checking the feed anymore, only waiting to receive updates. – Mario Menti, on December 04, 2009 12:07

Could you let me know the feed URL and twitter account you're posting to, and I'll try and take a closer look.

Mario Menti replied on December 04, 2009 11:42 to the problem "Problem with "Family Party Blog" feed" in twitterfeed:

This message is related to the new real-time notifications support, in combination with the frequency you selected in the settings. For example your settings may say that we should check/post once an hour - so if we receive more than one notification within that hour, then we won't post it because we have already posted something within that hour.

You can change this by selecting "every 30 minutes", which means that all items will be posted as they come in (we'll rename the "every 30 minutes" in the next update, as now it really means ASAP, as long as your feed supports the pubsubhubbub notifications). Hope that makes some sense - it's a little confusing trying to combine the frequency of checking in the options with the notification support, as we don't really check the feeds anymore, but still want to somehow honour this setting for people who don't want al their items being posted continuously.

A comment on the problem "Delete TwitterFeed Account" in twitterfeed:

Sorry for the confusion - could you email me (mario@betaworks.com) from the email address you want us to remove please? Thanks! – Mario Menti, on December 03, 2009 10:45

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

Apologies, for some reason our subscription to pubsubhubbub (so we receive notifications of new items rather than having to poll the feed) hasn't worked for some reason, so I just re-subscribed it now. Going forward we should now receive notifiations of new items, but let me know if the problem persists. – Mario Menti, on December 03, 2009 10:43

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

Thanks for all the additional info. Yes, we are currently in the middle of moving feeds to a new backend, so you're right that..

- feeds to facebook are still processed using the old backend
- creating a new feed also means it's (for now) being processed using the old backend

The problem really seems to be a pubusbhubbub and/or feedburner one, but it does seem very strange that we received notifications (as you can see from the screenshot I posted above), but for some reason no more. For now I'll set your feed back to manual posting until we have any more info on what the problem may be. – Mario Menti, on December 03, 2009 10:36

A comment on the problem "Twitterfeed not updating" in twitterfeed:

This may an issue with the new feed parsing we've started rolling out, but it's a little hard to see right now because you have the feed in there twice, so at the moment it's being processed by both the old and new back-end. It does look like there may be an issue with the new backend not recognising new items in the feed for some reason, so we'll try and take a closer look at that. – Mario Menti, on December 03, 2009 10:30
