Sandy uses "private" messages (ie direct) to Twitter - it doesn't go on your public "twitterings" – Bricoleur, on July 25, 2008 05:06

Twitter has been down for almost 2 months now. I really miss being able to add things to Sandy through IM.

Are we anywhere close to having a dedicated Sandy bot? Y'all can define close and decide if you want to let us know what that definition is.

If not, have you considered using ping.fm? I'm currently using it to update Twitter and Facebook status. It's in Beta right now, but they're not hiding the Beta sign up code at all.

Best of all, I can use AIM, GTalk, Yahoo!, Windows Live, iGoogle Gadget, or the Facebook, iPhone or Mobile apps to update from there.

It's something to look into.

also twitter / IM integration is currently down... how is everyone else dealing with this?!? I want sandy back!

I'm also seeing sporadic success with reminder tweets. I'm using Gtalk to send reminders to Sandy. For example, a twitter request to Sandy "d s r Pick up the dry cleaning in 30 minutes" may send me a reminder via twitter, may send it via sms, or may not send it at all. I've had all three happen today.

Aside from these minor issues, I'm loving the product so far. Keep up the good work!

Hi JT and minadaddy,

Good suggestion! We've had that on our back-burner list for some time now.

The twitter bot is also limited to 140 characters through IM. It would be nice to have a Sandy bot that could give me a list of all my @todo's.

I'd love to be able to get more than one result as well. That would make Sandy super useful through Gtalk on the desktop.
