We have integrated Summize into our service for tracking links. If you have any more problems or suggestions, please let us know!

Hi! We're also looking into "pinging" Tweetburner through the API or just at regular intervals for each user. Will keep you updated about that :)

This problem has been solved in the meanwhile. I'd thought I'd mention it. Thanks for your original report!

We've solved this problem a while ago. But I'd also like to notify you of it! :)

Hi ezyweb. Thank you for your question. I'm currently working on a few tutorial articles on how to best implement our API in your own application, with PHP and other programming language examples.

Hi Patrick. Many thanks for your problem report. We are aware of the problem and are trying to find alternative solutions to keep track of Twurls. The problem is caused by the unstability Twitter is experiencing the last few weeks. Because of the disabled Jabber-service, we can not reliably track all status updates posted to Twitter.

However, we have some alternative solutions in mind and hope to get 100% Twurl tracking up and running quite soon. Your idea of being able to send a "ping" to the Tweetburner API is also a great suggestion. We will look into how to best implement this.

Thanks!

Hi. Thank your for the bugreport! Due to the problems with Twitter, we are unfortuneately unable to track all Twurls right now.

However your suggestion of using Summize for tracking stats updates is actually great! This way we can surely improve the quality of service with Twurl tracking. Many thanks!

I'll start working on it right away.

Hi Mark. A little update on your question. A few weeks ago, we launched our Jabber integration and at that time, all the Twurls where tracked you would post through our API.

However, since Twitter has been experiencing some stability issues, they've disabled the Jabber service so we're unable to reliable track all links. We're currently looking into alternative solutions.

Hi Jeffmcneil. Thank you for posting this issue to our GetSatisfaction page. We are aware of the issues with tracking Twurls and are investigating alternative solutions.

The problem is that because of some stability issues Twitter has been having in the past weeks, they have disabled some services which lets us track the status updates you post to Twitter. Because if this we cannot monitor every update which has been posted outside of our website.

If you would like to get important status updates tracked, please post it through our bookmarklet or frontpage.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Garth. Thank you for your suggestion. Apparently more people are interested in this feature so we'll look into it. I'm not sure if we can actually unpack URLs from other services (they would have to provide an API) but we are interested. – Michiel Sikkes, on June 13, 2008 16:21

Hi Foomandoonian. Great to hear you second thefluffanata. The feature is up on our feature list to implement.

It seems Twitterfeed has integrated us, so thinks for the support! You can now choose Tweetburner as an option in your Twitterfeed account.

Also, it's a good idea to write a little Tweetburner API. Maybe I will post it in a blogpost at first with some code examples, and after that create a Wikipage somewhere so people can join in on improving it. Thanks for the suggestion! – Michiel Sikkes, on June 13, 2008 16:20

Hi thefluffanata. We love the idea and think it's a great and easy to implement solution if more people are interested. Nothing the replies to page, I think there are :) Will put it on the feature list. – Michiel Sikkes, on June 13, 2008 16:18

Hi pw,

This problem is also caused by the fact that we maximize URLs to 255 right now. In our next database update we will support longer URLs.

Wil keep you posted here!
