Recently active topics in Twitter tagged with contacts

gmail I recently uploaded all 4000 of my contacts in to my gmail contacts. When I have Twitter access my gmail contacts to see if any of them have twitter accounts, it searches and then tells me "you have no emails". I know for sure that some of my contacts have twitter accounts - so why does it come back completely empty handed, as if I had no gmail contacts at all (you'd think if it was close it would at least say something like: "none of your contacts has a Twitter account"... ??!!

Mobile Me is my only email account ( Apple-Mac). Does this preclude doing a friends search? Must I use another client??

There is the Google Contacts API.
Why then do you ask for a password to search for contacts on Gmail? This is suspicious.
I would probably like to use Twitter, if I would easily find my friends and I can, but I do not want to provide the password.

how can you upload contacts if you don't use web based mail like gmail or hotmail or yahoo?

When I try to find Twitter contacts via my gmail account, I get a message stating I must use a valid email address...I KNOW my email address is valid. I've tried using my Yahoo address as well, but with the same error message

Why can't I import my @live.ca contacts? Even though there is hotmail.com, there are also now hotmail.co.uk, as well as many live.tld addresses. It's easy for the >1mil. users who use hotmail.com, but it is impossible for us who decided to get a shiny new someone@live.tld address.

I can't import my gmail contacts. When I add my email address, I'm told it isn't a valid email address... Is it because I'm in the UK, and the domain should be googlemail instead of gmail or something?

I can't get my contacts ever time I try this message comes up:

"This method requires a POST."

Is there anything I can do?

I supposedly have device updates on for some of the people I'm following, which used to work.

First one stopped, then the other - how do I fix it? tried switching updates off and on again, no effect.

I want to import my contacts from my email address book. Can I?

Just curious... Is there a way to keep my followers private from each other and everyone else - such as I have a group of people I associate with, but I don't want anyone else to see them? I realize that if someone searches for them they could see them then and follow them as this is a social networking place, but was just curious as to if this could be possible to mark my followers as private?
