Tech Snaps started following the question "Location Resets to Wrong City" in Twitter.

Tech Snaps replied on June 20, 2009 03:56 to the question "Tweets not loading" in atebits:

I think most of the complaints here are justified since it is a paid app. More than anything, I believe the frustration is not with the wait but the fact that there hasn't been an official blog post (one sentence would have sufficed) that acknowledged a problem existed and that the patched version was submitted to Apple. If that was written and on the official site (anywhere) a lot of the negative reaction could have been avoided. That being said, I hopeful the app is accepted by the quirky App Store gatekeepers. TweetDeck is nice but lacks the depth of Tweetie's user/post navigation.

This was just a communication breakdown between the developer and the paying userbase. Being left in the dark sucks.

Big problem. A huge number of twitter referrals to sites come from mobile apps and desktop apps like Tweetie and Tweetdeck. How are you going to count those numbers?

A comment on the question "Multiple columns?" in atebits:

I like this idea. Tear-off columns would be great because it allows the user to define the viewspace rather than forcing them into a monolithic area. If you're using Tweetie to monitor news than a single column for multiple accounts is unacceptable. – Tech Snaps, on April 27, 2009 16:58

After searching on Google, it appears other customers have seen this and it may be from mavrev. If at all possible, we request that URL shortener NOT be used because silly error statements like that in people's tweets are very unprofessional and reflect badly on the publishers.

Holy smokes it happened again! And it's getting weird. Six old stories went out over Twitterfeed. The bizarre thing is (“Spirit of Imperial Beach” Dedicated Could not connect to database. WTF?) and (Learn about the Port's Urban Trees via Your Phone Could not connect to database. WTF?) What service adds a "WTF" to an error message? How embarrassing for us!

Notice that mavrev and cli.gs are suddenly popping up. What's causing the rotation of URL shorteners and is there a way to not do anything if the main shortener is unavailable? We would rather that NOTHING go out than an alternative service blurting out obscenities.

As you know, Google transitioned the Feedburner service and moved it all under its domain. In bit.ly I've noticed that some links will come in with either feeds2.feedburner.com or feedproxy.google.com and I can't predict when this happens. According to Google, RSS still using feeds.feedburner.com will continue to work. I just don't understand why the feedproxy address kicks in occasionally. Is this somehow related?

I checked one of the stories that went out twice. The bit.ly shortener had some interesting info on the one story, which went out with two different shortened links from twitterfeed. Maybe it's Feedburner related?

Hi Mario. There is no cross posting as each of these feeds comes from a different section of our website. In Joomla, articles cannot exist in more than one category in any given section. Could it have anything to do with Feedburner-based feeds? Each of the feeds from our site is fed through Feedburner. Unfortunately I couldn't spot anything wrong by looking at the raw XML that is output by Feedburner. It all looks normal.

another old story just went out on Twitter and came from this feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/portsd-nevp
I deleted the actual tweet but saved a screenshot. I noticed that mavrev was used. In the event of a URL shortener going dead, does Twitterfeed check for previous posts with the same base URL before sending out the tweet?

Tech Snaps replied on March 30, 2009 15:52 to the problem "Why is Twitterfeed pulling old posts from my RSS feed?" in twitterfeed:

Hi, thanks for the response. The feeds that had old news posted unintentionally were:
1. http://feeds.feedburner.com/portsd-cvbmp
2. http://feeds2.feedburner.com/portsd-e...
3. http://feeds.feedburner.com/portsd-la...
4. http://feeds.feedburner.com/portsd-su...

BTW, the company has mentioned they are willing to pay subscription for reliable twitterfeed service with the hope that it may scrape the feeds in intervals less than 30 mins... hope that helps your evaluation of that idea...

I had help from a Joomla developer and have come up with a solution that puts IntenseDebate ONLY on articles from specific categories (set from options in a joomla plugin page that was put together from scratch). Let me know if you want to hear more...
