Yes, I noticed that there's a blogpost regarding the @replies tab being disabled at the Twitter Status blog.

Thanks, I'll read the info in that link. The @replies is currently disabled for me.

Hi Robert. Yes, a person does not have to be following you for them to see your @reply in their Replies tab.

There's a really good explanation of how @replies work on the Twitter blog.

This does not seem clear at all to me. Does someone you're following (but they are not following you) receive @persona messages?

I really need to send follow me requests to 2 people that I'm following. Thanks

Gotta hate downtime...

At least Twitter is allowing anyone to view their uptime reports: http://www.pingdom.com/reports/vb1395...

I read on a blog that Twitter founder, Evan Williams, has said that Twitter will NOT email you a notification of the person following you if they're a spammer. While this might be inconvenient, it protects you. Even though you want to block the spammer, it protects you.

What do follow-spammers want? They want those thousands of emails to go out saying they followed you with a link to their profile. Twitter will detect these people as possible spammers, and while under investigation will NOT send out these follower emails from this person following you.

Email is working great again with my phone. Replies from Bkite are coming back via the email address, so even if you haven't registered your phone via SMS (I somehow pulled that off weeks ago), it'll still work just fine for you.

Beala, Verizon still does not support SMS for Brightkite. Glad to hear that email is working for you though! :) – Lesley, on June 19, 2008 16:22

I'd just like to add that I'm using a Blackberry 8130 on Verizon, and it's working great (the email, that is. Haven't tried sms).

For the record, I have an XV6800 (windows mobile) and I have my own independent email account setup on the phone and it works seemlessly. If you have a WM phone, you should consider doing the same and updating brightkite always through email.

Chris J is correct. We've unblocked it so you can email texts to Brightkite, but Verizon still does not support Brightkite through SMS. – Lesley, on June 18, 2008 20:40

A comment on the problem "Verizon support?" in Brightkite:

They still don't have the SMS number. Where you would put the number, you instead put your private ****@bkite.com email address. Then you can send the update. – Chris J, on June 18, 2008 20:34

We have unblocked the vtext.com emails, please report any problems to us immediately. :)

Yes, calling their support would be the way to go. Maybe if they get enough requests they'll finally do what they said would be done in February. – Lesley, on June 12, 2008 04:54
