This isn't solved, it's dead. There's a big difference.

Twitter is running by a bunch of scumbags who don't respect their users.

Charlotte, NC

Charlotte, North Carolina should be an option.

waffles started following the idea "Labs for Google Calendar...nuff said..just do it" in Google Reader.

waffles started following the question "Why can't Google Calendar Sync support Outlook's categories?" in Google.

waffles asked a question in Google on December 07, 2008 14:05:

Edit Future Events

Is there a way to have a step between editing the current event and editing all events in a series of repeating events where I can edit the current and all future events?

I'd like to be able to change meeting times and still keep the old times in case I have to go back and verify for some reason.

I'm sad. Sad that Sandy is gone. Sad that Twitter (the pile of crap that it is) has a hand in it. Remember the Milk just isn't the same.

But I do find it odd that Sandy is ending on y last day of classes. That's a bit creepy. Seriously, you couldn't at least get to the end of the year?

I think that Twitter is a giant pile of crap. I've gone almost a month without using it now, and I don't feel like I've lost anything.

waffles started following the idea "Please remove the notice: "We're working to restore IM..." It's patronizing." in Twitter.

Does any one else find it hilarious that it still says that the company is working on the problem?

We know Twitter isn't working on this. And we know it's a pretty good possibility that they never will.

But until I can find something that will send me IMs as reminders, I'll keep bothering them about fixing it.

waffles replied on August 19, 2008 15:33 to the question "How can I add an IM account to send twits from ICQ?" in Twitter:

Read this. Don't hold your breath waiting for IM. It's not going to happen until Twitter headquarters grows half a brain between who ever is up there.

waffles replied on August 19, 2008 15:00 to the problem ""Sept. 10" not parsing correctly" in I want Sandy:

Sept. is a common abbreviation for September. I realize that I can use Sep instead and have it work, but the sports schedules for my school all have Sept. on them and it would be a lot easier for me if I could just copy and paste instead of having to go back and change all the Sept's to Sep's.

waffles replied on August 14, 2008 04:39 to the problem "Twitter IM down May 23rd-May24th" in Twitter:

Well, my pressing need is to get updates by IM. Is there anyone who does that yet? Because Twitter seems to be sitting around not doing a damn thing about it and being perfectly happy doing so.

waffles replied on August 13, 2008 21:56 to the problem "IM settings page missing" in Twitter:

That's because IM is missing and Twitter is perfectly happy sitting back and letting other people make a replacement for it.

Except that the replacements don't do everything that IM did before it died.

Come on Twitter, stop acting like a bunch of half brained morons and actually fix this.

waffles replied on August 11, 2008 15:39 to the question "Setting up google talk." in Twitter:

Nope, Twitter is still being a bunch of idiots and not telling us what is going on.

Getting reminders by IM was great at the end of last semester. I really want that back.

waffles replied on August 10, 2008 19:34 to the problem "instance messenger" in I want Sandy:

I'm bringing this request back to life. Twitter shows no progress on getting their IM interface back, and is even looking like they'll just sit back and let outside people (ping.fm for one) take care of the IM interfacing for them.

This is a problem for me and my relationship with Sandy because I can't get IM reminders about anything. Sure, if I check the Twitter site I can see that I got a direct message. But if I'm able to check the Twitter site like that, there isn't really a reason for the reminder to begin with.

Is there any hope for getting Sandy her own IM interface that would be able to both send and receive messages?

waffles replied on August 08, 2008 15:59 to the question "How do I receive IM updates?" in Twitter:

Convince the Twitter gods that IM is important and for them to get off their fat asses and fix it.

waffles replied on August 07, 2008 04:07 to the question "When will the device IMs come back?" in Twitter:

Native Twitter IM support will be back when I can reach up my own butt and pull out a turkey sandwich.

waffles replied on August 07, 2008 04:06 to the question "Twitter IM not working in Google Talk AGAIN." in Twitter:

My guess is never. The Twitter people have proven time and again that IM is not a top priority, despite the words that they use here and in the status blog.
