motownmutt's dashboard

egspoony replied on October 03, 2008 00:24 to the idea "Require captcha on Follow" in Twitter:

I say it should be based on tweet activity, age of the account, and rate of follows. And other forms of following should have a rate of follows limit based on the other items.

Have you tried pownce?

Toni Barros replied on October 01, 2008 17:41 to the question "Give us filters or give us...." in Twitter:

Yes, that would be great. My boss follows my feed, so I can't complain about her on twitter! And twitter is soooo great for it! LOL

Also, it would be useful to filter incoming tweets, as motownmutt suggested. I get a lot of blip.fm tweets that really annoy me.

Hello. Perhaps it just needed some time, because I can find you now in User Search. Click here to see: https://twitter.com/tw/search/users?q... – mdy, on October 01, 2008 01:34

I hope you don't mind my bumping this thread, but I was suprised to see a tweet from @trevypoos on my wife's 'home' timeline (since she follows him as well), but not mine! It kinda makes me wonder how many other tweets I've missed...

This is the tweet that never turned up, incidentally:

http://twitter.com/trevypoos/statuses...

It's not a reply.. it's simply not there (nor is it on my m.twitter.com feed)! I'm worried that I'm missing out on (a small percentage of) the fun!

Good suggestion, mdy. – Amy Muller, on July 30, 2008 18:01

By the way -- Crystal started a new topic regarding the change to protected profiles.

I suggest that we log any bugs / issues that we encounter (if any) with this protected profile change in the other thread, so they'll be easier to find and track.

The new thread is here:

AWESOME. Thank you Twitter team!

We finally got this fix out the door; it was amazingly tricky from a code management perspective because of the number of moving parts. And, of course, it kept getting pushed because of needed stability work.

Please let us know if you run into bugs with the new functionality. There are additional enhancements we wanted to make (like showing the number of follower/following counts for the requesting user) that had to be cut because of performance reasons. They're still on the list tho'.

Glad folks are happy about the change; thanks for hanging in there as we fixed it.

Tremendous! With this fix and the increased stability of the service in general, Twitter is really starting to look shiny again.

Thanks, Twitter team!

That's great news! It must have been tricky to implement; I'd got used to the idea of it being impossible.

Thanks, Twitter!

Fantastic. HUGE improvement. Also, the friend request page has been greatly improved. Nice work, Twitter. Thank you!

Great news! Many thanks to Twitter. Now I can finally mobilise groups of friends, colleagues and relatives to set up their own private Twitter groups to coordinate their activities without having to 'go public'.

OMG it is apparently fixed: http://help.twitter.com/index.php?pg=...

Yay Twitter!

I would guess it's because they've had their hands full with all the scaling & restoring work they've had to do recently. Being part of a tech startup myself I can understand how the best intentions sometimes have to be set aside when you find yourself needing to deal with mission-critical issues.

That being said, an update would be much appreciated. Is this still on a short-term roadmap? Has it been indefinitely postponed?

Months gone by and this is STILL not fxed. WHY???
