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!

I'd like to see this, or an iCal file import feature added into Sandy.

Exactly. This issue is why reQall is becoming a pain to set up to work with Sandy--they both have the very same issue.

I just want to echo the thread and say I could be much more productive if Sandy would allow me to remind my friends without them having to have an IWantSandy.com account and without having to CC them.

Quoting David from above...

"I agree with the above - I should be able to add a nickname to a friend, (uniquely identifiable), and be able to say "Remind Johnny to pick up milk at 10pm tonite".

Thank you

I hear what you mean.

Huh, I have three problems with "remind us":

a) you have to include the person who should be reminded in your email recipients - this is ok for emails, but I contact Sandy a lot via Twitter and Jott, where I cannot include any other recipients

b) we _both_ get the reminder, what if I only want to schedule something for my friends?

c) it increases email noise by having to CC my friends to set a reminder for them

That's why I really want to see the "Remind [friend's name] to do this and that" feature.

It's also not clear to me how I can use "remind us" to share notes and lists.

I tried remind us, and that seemed to do it, but helpers, this is not clear? Can you clarify, or do i need to look up a phone number to get someone on the phone since I've sent E-mails about this and this has not been answered yet?

ar replied on June 15, 2008 20:44 to the question "How do I send a reminder to a friend" in I want Sandy:

I am really, really looking for a solution to this as well...

I actually cannot really believe this isn't available yet. Especially since the guide book proudly states "add stuff to each other's calendars (the dentist appointment)" - which apparently is _not_ at all easily done. :/

A comment on the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

mdy: Thanks for the tip. The one I spotted today was to someone I wasn't following so I've changed the setting, thanks :) However, I'm pretty sure that others have been absent recently without @user in at all, and from people I'm mutually following. I'll try and log them myself when I notice. Cheers. – Jon Tan, on May 21, 2008 12:18

A comment on the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

Jon, are those missing @user messages by any chance addressed to people that you're not following yourself? If yes, that's the default setting for Twitter's @replies, i.e., "show me @replies addressed to the people I'm following". You can change the setting in http://twitter.com/account/notifications – mdy, on May 21, 2008 12:11

I'm also having this problem. Last noticed today, and most days to date. Cursory analysis seems to show that tweets from people I'm following starting with "@user" are not being shown in my /home.

[Ed] I should add, this is problematic to log comprehensively; if the tweets don't show I only notice when friends follow-on from a previous tweet, and I go to their page to investigate and compare.

To log this bug, it might be useful to have a tool that checks tweets from a given account are appearing in followers' streams, perhaps by timestamp.

I hear you there, but they haven't responded as of yet, and I hope they will read this soon. This needs to be addressed, as I don't want to have to have people sign up for a few things like phone call reminders etc. this is not that complicated I would think. But programming can be tricky, I do HTML and thats as far as I want to have it.

David replied on May 07, 2008 21:13 to the question "How do I send a reminder to a friend" in I want Sandy:

"Remind us" is ok if you're emailing, but if I use Jott and call in a quick note, there is no "us" involved, so it's only a half-solution. This would also be solved by assigning nicknames to friends and referencing the nicknames.

Hope they add it! Can't be hard, really... it's just another noun to parse.

Jared Rimer replied on May 07, 2008 21:11 to the question "How do I send a reminder to a friend" in I want Sandy:

Well, I've asked I want sandy to look at this amongst other topics I've posted and they have yet to reply. I hope they will, cause there is now a reply to make this simpler. What if you don't want them to become a member or something just to get a reminder to them. there's got to be a way somehow.

This is CRITICAL for family, team and GTD use.

I haven't gotten any updates via IM in a week or two. Very annoying. Username is heemstra.

himoore replied on May 06, 2008 23:53 to the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

im having a similar problem. ive never missed an update on my mobile from msgs on my twitter site until late last week when i stopped getting all the msgs delivered to my mobile. now i seem to be getting only approx 1 in 4 delivered to my device. im only in a circle of 9 people, and none of which have a heavy load of followers. it seems my whole circle has the same problem also. username is himoore.

akirastudio replied on April 26, 2008 13:29 to the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

Not sure if this is related, I have a problem in IE& (Firefox is ok) which caches the flash plugin i copied from the twitter site so you only see the twitters at the time of the first load - if you then clear out the cache and open a new window etc you get the latest comments. Is there a way to prevent IE7 from caching so i get live twitter updates?
