I have just read tons of gripe posts about " twitter " and the " lost " followers on your twitter page.

This is a " free " and awesome service that they have brought to you.
The fact that people have the nerve to peg twitter as a " poorly run company" is beyond me. You aren't paying anything for twitter and it's super cool and innovative.

We're very lucky to have twitter no more poo flinging please:)
So take it easy, I lost mine too.. As you have probably read they are currently working on the issue.

Thnx:)

Verizon customer service is a nightmare! Literally spent HOURS on hold, being transferred to diff depts, getting disconnected from customer service with no call back (they took my number "in case we get disconnected"). I signed my dad up for Verizon internet so we could switch him to Vonage phone and when the phone line was disconnected, neither the phone or internet worked, so I called to disconnect the service within a few days of installation. I still received a bill--- was billed for the wrong service plan, and was billed even tho I was to have 30 free days, and in spite of the fact that I had asked to have the service disconnected the month before. When I called to find out why I was billed, even tho I had disconnected, they would not accept my disconnect confirmation number as valid and even slapped a $79 early termination fee on me! I called to discuss the bill and after waiting on hold a few times and being transferred a few times, I got cut off! I decided to mail documentation along with a partial payment (for installation and shipping of equipment; I felt I owed those fees), so I called to simply get the correct mailing address and got cut off twice!!

I sent the mailings with signature confirmation and noticed they cashed my check the same day they received it. I hope they will leave me alone, now! I’ve had it up to my eyeballs (actually my eyeballs have exploded) with their incompetence (they lost my power of atty papers that I faxed to them, kept transferring me to dept’s that didn’t have anything to do with what I needed, entered the wrong info into the computer, and didn’t call me back when we got disconnected—in addition to the incorrect billing and not disconnecting the service when I requested it). Don’t use Verizon!! It’s customer service is a NIGHTMARE!

I realy hope my followers will be back automatically and soon! How the hell could this even happen?!? Don't you have a test environment?

Twitter! I am so disappointed. No longer do I trust you.

I just want to say that I love twitter. I understand there are issues with the scalability of the website, so I wish all the best of luck to the twitter folks to get things sorted out. You definitely need a break with all the users that are joining! Anyone else want to offer support?

I am signing up for twitter after seeing the profile on World News.

I am getting this message "Please try to match the 2 words shown above, or try the audio version" after I fill username, password and email ID. I am getting any other words on the screen

After filling in what I am doing what do I do to submit the comment?

I have deleted my original account & I'm trying to delete duplicate account to start over but I can't log in. It creates another account every time I try to log in. I can't even post this problem without signing up again!!!!

PS I've tried following the steps to delete but can't get in to account to delete it!!

Can someone at Twitter please block the6figureteam(dot)com bot from spamming? I think I've blocked well over 200 of their spam accounts just last week alone, and at least 4 just this morning.

Big thanks to everyone here at GS/T on posting those spam accounts. The block list is getting huge (or at least it would be if I could see it).

Is it me or is the iPhone an addictive?
Especially App Store for iPhone stuff. :p

I just got done attending High Schools New Face 2008 - second time around with teacher sheryl nussbaum beach. This is the first teacher that has inspired me the most in my adult life. She has taught me to be a new learner.....web 2.0 tools and so much more

How would you, as a member of the Twitter community, like to flag potential spammers? Right now you can block a spammer or report them via email. We're working on spam handling presently, and I'd like to know what the simple, unobtrusive solution looks like from your point of view. A "report spam" button on profiles, áa Gmail?

I receive a response when I send HELP to 40404, but I can't verify my phone. Now what?

I saw this in a screenshot a while back:



"Activity - Private beta..."

I also saw that in another screenshot (from a different person) as well:



"Crap. Well, I'm probably out of the Private Beta now. The activity feature actually doesn't do much, so y'all aren't missing anything. In fact, I forgot it was there, I use it so little. The Replies tab is *much* more useful! So yeah, not much to come clean about, sorry!"

I suppose it's a different way of managing conversations? Maybe it's similar to Quotably? What do you all think?

Oooh, http://twitter.com/activity - "This feature is currently restricted to Friends of Twitter only!"

I really wish that the API limit on twitter was higher than 20. I like my feed of tweets to be as live as possible and miss the days of 70 api requests an hour.

It may be time to buy yourself a new dedicated server twitter HQ!

Why don't people mind when Twitter is down? If another online or communication service failed as frequently as Twitter does, folks would drift away to alternative channels. Instead, most Twitter users look at the situation with bemusement, or at worst a temporary anger that does not impact their continued use of the service.

What is it about Twitter that makes down time less of a problem? Has a strange social dynamic been cultivated, and if so, is it replicable?

Here was my last post: "Twitter designers didn't allow for manipulating into a promotional tool--following a 1000plus? How many ideas are destroyed by system abuse." I'm in favor of limiting followers to a reasonable number.

I was going through the setup so I could twitter from my phone. I never received a reply once I sent the code, and I read on a similar issue here that I should text "help" to 40404.

I did, and received a reply, so I tried sending a sms. That created a duplicate account. My name is hubcitymac, and the account hubcitymac1 was created.

BTW, I still have not received a reply after sending a sms for device setup.

Omg who is this kid he is so annoying. He keeps talking to me. He thinks we are friends. So cute.... He should get off of the internets becuse he cant spell. And has not grammmer. Who has had this problem with this pesky kid .... ???
