Thanks, Daniel - I really like the Twitter integration, you guys are doing some great work!-

Andy Weissman and Om Broke Twitter IntegrationLooks like you could tighten up the regex around the band name recognition; while it won't be a problem for most bands, gigs for Om seem to be pulling in all tweets with "*om" words in them:

Blame Andy Weissman. He's not even coming to the show anymore. ;-) -

Additional data point: searching via the site for "gimme" returns only the manhattan location for Gimme Coffee, despite there being two other gimme coffee venues in FS:
#44386: Manhattan location (returned by search for "gimme")
#29428: Brooklyn location, original entry (not returned by search for "gimme")
#89069: Brooklyn location, duplicate entry (I created it before discovering that a venue entry already existed) -

Oh, and as long as I'm being picky: not sure whether enough people track multiple cities to make it worthwhile, but it'd be great if the emails showed the city associated with with each listed gig. -

Differentiate Between Event Types in Daily Digest EmailsRight now I'm tracking 527 artists, 7 venues, and 10 people, looking for gigs in two cities (NYC and Philadelphia); since the notification emails pull in everything from the tracker, this means that it's gotten increasingly difficult for me to quickly pull out the information that I'm most interested in from the emails: new shows.
Because the emails are purely chronological and don't visually differentiate between, say, an awesome show in London (that someone I'm tracking is going to) and an awesome show in Brooklyn (that I'd love to go to but haven't yet heard about), the notification emails can be frustrating.
While splitting up the content (and therefore increasing email volume) may not be ideal for everyone, I'd love to have a little more control over what's included in my tracker digest emails--maybe it's just my own shows, and I visit the site to see what others are doing.
Another alternative is visually differentiating between the various classes of tracker activity within the current email: if the emails used something like the color coding scheme from the Upcoming Events page, I could quickly scan through looking for the red and the blue, checking out the others at my leisure. -

Inaccurate gig information reverting after editThis is an interesting one: if you take a look at the history for this event...
http://www.songkick.com/concerts/2398...
...you'll see that I've twice edited the show to remove bad data (the supporting acts are curiously listed as The Violatorsblues Controlcoconuts), but both times the data has reverted within the next day.
It looks like there may be a scheduled process checking gig data and reverting back to the stored "bad" version of the supporting acts? Regardless, it's a curious little bug. -

Is support for the bit.ly URL shortening service planned?Pretty simple: I love the functionality that bit.ly offers in addition to just URL shortening, and so would love to have it as an option within Twhirl. -

I've been having the same problem (on T-Mobile) since the end of last week, around April 18th or 19th: I'm not receiving either direct messages or notifications for my "track" terms on my phone.
I've done untrack and then track again for the specific terms, as well as @mdy's approach of resetting notifications globally, but no luck so far. -

whitneymcn asked a question in Twitter on February 27, 2008 21:33:
The largest "perfect set" of mutual followers on Twitter?What's the largest group of people that all follow one another on Twitter? Note that this isn't necessarily groups of people that *only* follow one another: I'm interested, rather, in finding the largest set of Twitter users one can create such that every member of the set follows every other member of the set.
Why am I curious? Not sure...because it's interesting, I guess. I should be able to generate a more-or-less accurate result via the API, but I'm hoping that this is a question that someone at Twitter has already wondered about and answered.
Many thanks,
@whitneymcn
