Thanks for the update, and so long Twitter. Gonna move onto a product that integrates all the necessary features and is a little more honest up-front. Maybe someday Twitter will be an option, but for now I'm moving to better pastures.

Hi guys, we've posted an official update about IM here:

Sorry it took as long as it did.

I think it's most likely that the Twitter corporation has decided IM and Track are too valuable to let people use. They'll stonewall and delay until people give up and/or forget about it, at which point they'll re-introduce the features as paid "premium" services. Or so I predict.

Laconica, here I come...

I just joined solely to follow Slate's Twitter feed in my instant messaging programming, and the functionality doesn't work? Can I cancel my account? I see no reason to keep another account I'll never use.

I agree with everyone. I was up in arms when SMS was removed, and there's no IM forthcoming - it's been, what, 4 months now since IM went down? What the hell is happening over there at Twitter HQ?

I think it's becoming clearer that Twitter doesn't intend to bring IM support back, and is delaying announcing that for as long as possible.

I don't live in a browser and I don't want to have to rely on a GUI. So the IM gateway is essential for me; without it I just don't use Twitter.

If you are aware, then why does it take so much to get a real update? Team meetings? Consensus? Consulting some voodoo? I'm with scionguy below, I'm recommending the competitors for now (and I'm sad that it's come to this). – robotfrog, on October 02, 2008 20:28

I sure am glad I gave up on Twitter months ago when I could see they were lying about IM being a "top priority". For anyone still hanging on even though they have no plans to ever bring it back, the IM services at Pownce (and any other Twitter competitor) work just fine and their customer service doesn't suck like Twitter's.
