If I add a gadget to my Myspace will Twitter update my myspace status just as if I were doing it on myspace without Twitter? I want to be able to post on Twitter and then my myspace friends will be able to see my update when they log in. I want it to show up where all my myspace status updates are. I guess you can do this on facebook or is the facebook app kind of like a gadget? I hope this isnt confusing. I want something it's just hard to explain. My Twitter dream is to be able to call Jott It! to update Twitter and then Twitter updates my Myspace and Facebook status so that I don't have to log in at all. I wonder if this is possible?

Can I have my Facebook Status update my Twitter Status?

Why do I see @replies show up as updates on the home page of my Twitter account? Here's the process that I'm doing, and I don't understand what the efect is:

- Start with my general update on what I'm doing:
"I'm at the concert, anybody here?"
Everybody that is following me gets an update with my update

- I then @reply to somebody that has sent me an update
"@myfriend That sounds great"
Only "myfriend" gets this reply

- When I go to my twitter account online, I see that my current update is the @reply and no longer what I set originally. Is this what ppl are going to see when they check my status?

It's a little confuning to me.

The current Status Blog post says:

A number of users are seeing whales (over capacity messages) this morning. We believe this is because our master database is still warming after a RAM upgrade over the weekend.

It's a database, not a toaster oven. It's serving data, not Pop-Tarts. I can't even begin to translate that statement into anything technologically intelligible. Explaining what is *actually* happening during server outages goes a long way. This, however, goes nowhere.

Please provide an actual, feasible status update for the current issue. Thank.

I really don't understand how it is that Twitter has created this amazing network that spreads word extremely quickly but that they don't actually use the service themselves. When I joined Twitter last year there was definately a strong feel that the people who ran Twitter were actually PART of that community and not just running it. Back then there was a @twitter_status account that broadcast any messages related to the service and the users of the service always knew what was up and what was going on. It's a lot easier to tolerate a problem with a service if you are actually informed about it.

For the last few days I have seen many people complaining about not understanding why Twitter is screwing up the twitter logs on the web site. I find that there is a thread here but absolutely nothing has been posted to @twitter_status until this morning. Many of us still use our phones with Twitter and we rely on status to be pushed to us because, well, that's the whole point of twitter, isn't it? The same thing was an issue a few weeks ago when there was a problem with a firewall that prevented emails from going out. The service remained in this state for 2 days and there was absolutely nothing posted to @twitter_status until a little while after the problem was fixed.

I really fear that Twitter as a company is losing sight of what it is that they do. It almost seems as though Twitter wants to hide the fact that there are problems rather than own up to them. I'm seriously starting to get the same feel that I get from companies like Research in Motion who work hard on innovating but have a consistant habit of lying about any issues, denying issues, blaming issues on someone else, or just flat out ignore anything.

Most of us, as twitter users, understand that Twitter is having some serious growing pains right now and we are a community that wants to work with you to make this service better but the more we are left in the dark the less we can do and the more frustrated we become with the service.

replies have been down for a while, are we going to see anything on the status blog?

Is it possible to have the current rate limit displayed somewhere on the http://status.twitter.com blog? It's not always clear what the current number of req is allowed and I don't know what to according set my 3rd party app.

Is there an easy way to seed my status with the articles/blogs I'm reading/sites I'm visiting? Newsvine has a 'Seed Newsvine' button and Google Reader has 'Note in Reader' buttons that I can add to my toolbar.

Seriously, it seems like they don't pay attention to it.
