Matt shared an idea in Postbox, Inc. on June 17, 2009 20:46:

New version notifications

It would be great to have new version notifications. On the Mac the Sparkle framework provides this (http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/) ... not sure about a cross-platform library.

A comment on the question "Can I get a CSS signature or HTML?" in Postbox, Inc.:

I'm also interested in removing the '--'. Anyone have a suggestion? – Matt, on June 17, 2009 20:16

Matt started following the idea "auto-populate topics with gmail labels" in Postbox, Inc..

Matt replied on June 03, 2009 23:29 to the question "How can I delete updates?" in Twitter:

You can only delete updates which you have created. If people are sending updates that you don't want to receive then I recommend you un-follow them.

Matt replied on April 06, 2009 17:03 to the problem "Problems with Fluid App" in CoTweet:

I had this same issue and overcame it by setting my default browser to Safari, logging in via Safari, then creating a fluid app. The issue seemed to be cotweet.com attempting to open the agent_sessions page in the default browser, which being firefox would never generate the correct cookies for Fluid, which is based on Webbkit.

Matt replied on February 09, 2009 23:22 to the idea "Ability to detect twitterfeed posted links" in Twitter:

Search does strip out punctuation so there is no way for it to find specifically ".. http://tinyurl.com/" as you mentioned. We have however discussed adding source to search (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/...) and the inverse of that is what I think you're looking for.

Matt replied on January 28, 2009 00:18 to the problem "502 Proxy Error" in Twitter:

This happens where there are no mongrel servers available to serve the request. We're working on adding more servers now to help with this. I'm also working on creating a styled error page with some Google Analytics so it won't be so jarring and we'll get a better idea how often this comes up. Hang tight.

A comment on the question "Twitter search not working for me" in Twitter:

I swear I replied to your earlier today about this, huh, guess it got lost. Your issue is different than the one hyme is having and I have someone looking into it. As for the response time on tickets, there have been a ton of requests lately so it can take a week or so. We're doing all we can (like having an engineer (me) answer tickets). I'll post something here if I can find the problem. – Matt, on January 15, 2009 20:36

A comment on the question "Twitter search not working for me" in Twitter:

No need to shout. This looks like something specific to your account unrelated to the issue above. Please log a support help ticket at http://twitter.com/help – Matt, on January 15, 2009 20:18

I think I have found the problem. I'm working on it now. – Matt, on January 12, 2009 18:52

A comment on the question "Twitter search not working for me" in Twitter:

Thank you for the example, that makes it much easier. I'll look into it. – Matt, on January 12, 2009 16:08

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 01:12 to the question "Geocoding anomaly" in Twitter:

We use another geocoding service and it sometimes gets confused, especially with abbreviations. For this specific case you can use "Colyton, Austrailia" for the correct results. I'll keep an eye out for any more cases like this so I can report them.

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 01:08 to the question "Twitter search not working for me" in Twitter:

The user search data is only updated every few hours, so new users won't show up right away. Are you still seeing that 'Invalid URL' error as well, or was that corrected?

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 01:04 to the idea "Master & Guest passwords to stop account hijacking" in Twitter:

OAuth adds pretty much the same functionality as multiple passwords but without have to remember one password per application. You'll even have a handy page on Twitter to turn off applications you no longer use. We'll hopefully have a beta out soon.

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 00:58 to the question "why can't I find iberkshires when I know they exist" in Twitter:

Where were you looking for them when you were unable to find them? If you were using the user search page, please be aware it takes several hours before new accounts show up there.

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 00:56 to the question "Twitter Search API, does it support conversation?" in Twitter:

The conversations are not yet available via the API but we're planning to add it. You can track our progress at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/...

Matt replied on January 10, 2009 00:54 to the question "How do you stop following someone?" in Twitter:

Visit the users page when logged in to Twitter and you should see the word 'Following' with a green check mark under the users picture. Click on 'Following' and it will give you the option to un-follow.

Matt replied on January 09, 2009 16:26 to the question "Twitter search not working for me" in Twitter:

I'm not seeing a problem. What browser are you using? Could you be accessing the site through some sort of proxy that may be broken?

Matt replied on January 07, 2009 16:12 to the question "search.twitter.com return none readable character for old result in japanese!!" in Twitter:

I incorrectly answered the wrong question. The link in question now has 0 results because it is too old. Everything looks good in a new search. Looking at your screen shot I recognize the problem. We had some code get launched that incorrectly handled multi-byte characters like Japanese. We changed the code back when we found the issue but not before it caused the problem you saw.

Matt marked one of Rusty Mitchell's replies in Twitter as useful. Rusty Mitchell replied to the question "Searching for multiple exact phrases on search.twitter.com".
