PLEASE READ: Google OpenID issues
A number of you have reported problems with using Google OpenID. What happened is that sometimes you seem to get a different OpenID URL when logging in, which meant that you wouldn't be able to see the feeds you had previously set up, because twitterfeed essentially thinks you're a different user.
I've tracked down the issue: the reason is that Google OpenID doesn't treat "twitterfeed.com" and "www.twitterfeed.com" as the same, so if you log in on www.twitterfeed.com one day and on twitterfeed.com the other, then you'll be treated as 2 different users.
Going forward I have fixed this by redirecting everything to "twitterfeed.com" (without the "www"), so this shouldn't happen anymore.
HOWEVER... if you previously logged in using www.twitterfeed.com, then you now won't see your feeds anymore. If you have this problem, please email me at mario at menti dot net with the string appearing after "logged in as" in twitterfeed, and the name and password of at least one twitter account you're posting to (so I can verify you own the account). I will then update this manually.
Apologies for the inconvience, it wasn't obvious to me that the Google OpenID provider worked that way, as none of the other providers do..

Yes, please re-send, perhaps it got caught in the spam filters or I otherwise missed it.. -
Inappropriate?I can't log in AT ALL with Google OpenID. My problem is not that I am unable to see my existing feeds, but that after triggering the openid login, the popup window goes completely blank.
please email me at markitecht[at]gmail.com
I’m anxious

Inappropriate?I made some changes live this morning which appear to solve the Google OpenID issues for many users. If you have been affected by this, could you try again and let me know if you continue to have problems.

Hmm.. strange, the fix seems to have worked for most people that previously had issues. Would you mind clearing cache etc. just in case that makes a difference?
-
Inappropriate?I used an entirely different browser, a fully-reset Safari, and got the same error.

OK, seems that it's not entirely fixed, will need to talk to RPX/Janrain later today. In the meantime, what is the twitter account you're posting to, so I can take a quick look and potentially move the account to give you access some other way?

Inappropriate?Hey thanks Mario.
it's to the @inglesbrasil account. im prefixing an rss-based RT with 'RT @denlisodelima' when it should be 'RT @denilsodelima'. Needless to say, the guy im retweeting is upset hehehe.1 Comment Add a comment

OK, I just updated the prefix manually.
I'm still a bit confused why you have this error, everyone else I checked with has reported that it worked for them now. If the problem persists, you could create a new twitterfeed account, and I'll move the feeds manually to that one. Contact me (mario at menti dot net) if you want to do that.
