Inappropriate?Likewise. Our badge quit working, too... not updating and distorting the small thumbnail images.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Same. First nothing, but more recently only my Twitters and none of my friend's. Image is distorted as well.
I’m frustrated
-
are the twitters from your friends showing up? -
Inappropriate?arrgh please get it together! have the badge on several sites and it's not working. good luck to all @ twitter. we know you are working hard, we're pulling for ya
I’m confused
-
Inappropriate?mine's broken completely, no updates at all, and if you try and view the static.twitter.com webpage that it links to it says my account doesn't exist
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Somebody buy these folks some more coffee! It's just not right w/out my Flash!
Keep at it - we see things are changing... We'll keep watching...

Inappropriate?My Twitter "flash with friends" badge started displaying the Tweets of someone I don't know, so I've disabled it. The other two badge options seem to work.
I’m frustrated
-
Me too. Some random guy that is not on my follow list and hasn't posted in 70 days.

Same here. Ugh. -
I've filed a tech support form, with the URL of this message thread. Let's hope they pay some attention. -
Inappropriate?Here's the answer to the problem from Twitter support:
================
Hi,
Thanks for your email. The with friends feed is temporarily disabled which also effects the badge. You're still able to open the feed if authentication is supported in your reader, but in the case of an embedded badge this can't be done. As I said this is only temporary and hopefully we can turn it back on soon. For more information please check this post on our Status Blog http://status.twitter.com/post/372170...
Cheers, Mark

Inappropriate?Frustrated that I have to recode this thing... or simply remove it altogether from dshaw.com.

Inappropriate?I had similar issues with mine on my blog, in fact mine was quite interesting, as the flash widget was displaying someone else's tweets!
I removed it, and reinserted the simplest widget, and it's all working fine now.

Good luck to all the other tweeters
I’m reasonable

Inappropriate?I'm NOT able to get the Flash Badge to work at ALL!!!
-
Inappropriate?I'm done with Twitter. Too bad it is such a poorly managed company.
It was fun when it worked.
I’m gone.
-
Inappropriate?If you are getting someone else's updates then you probably typed in an error when you were asked for your Twitter account name. Also, You have to have the Twitter badge that enables your friends' updates in order for it to be displayed in the widget, not the square badge.

Inappropriate?Chris, there was a glitch a while back that displayed someone else's updates for the 'friends badge. That's been fixed but the photos still aren't working for that badge.
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Dear Chris - I even have an email from Twitter - in which they admit that there is something wrong with this friends batch; it is a fact that a lot of people see friends/posts of someone else. AND also the fact that it often just doesn't work.
And they will come back to me at the moment they fixed it.... - this is already from beginning of June - still not working !! -
Inappropriate?Is Twitter being managed, supported, and still viable?
I'm NOT impressed at all by Twitter at the moment.
Is the an alternative to Twitter that utilized SMS?

I’m exploring options OUTTA HERE

Fwiw, I saw a recent message in the Twitter Development Google Group that says they're rolling out new widgets soon (in a week or so).
I don't know what the widgets look like or if any of them will be equivalent to "with friends," but I'm hoping they'll be new versions of the existing badges. -
Meanwhile, you may be interested in reading my thoughts on
Why none of Twitter's With Friends badges work. -
Inappropriate?i gave up on this and just removed the badge altogether. it's almost been a year since it last worked.
