Hi,

There seem to be a few bugs around at the moment.

I am sending a “welcome” auto DM to people – but they are all being sent with a firstname of “Jordi” – I have checked my settings and that shouldn’t be happening.

Also my daily e-mail is showing that people are leaving and joining after a tweet that I didn’t make – I have checked my updates and I haven’t been hacked the tweet is not there.

The “unfollowing” does not seem to be working at all.

Auto following is not picking up all the new followers.

Basically Social Too is really not working for Twitter.

Please tell me what is going on and when these problems will be resolved.

Imram, that's an interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Good to see that you guys are working on it. On the subject of auto-replies:

How about adding a pseudo "random" auto-reply:
1) Have an option called random
2) Have the server determine the right time to send the auto-reply
3) The right time is based on the API rate limit for a specific hour, that way all the hours will be filled more efficiently. You might be able to squeeze out more out of one hour.

I think the there are fluctiations on twitter usage througout the day?

Many thanks for your openness and willingness to discuss this in an open forum. I've always appreciated your honesty in dealing with your 'users' whether it be via Twitter/FriendFeed/SocialToo Blog etc.
It's a shame that some organisations don't listen and learn by your example.
Trying to get a response out of Twitter is like trying to get blood from a stone, unless you have mega-super star status, they appear not to want to listen to mere mortals, even though it's those very people who have made Twitter the success that it is.

Good luck with the changes and thanks once again for keeping us up to date.

Thank you for working on this and more importantly thank you for informing your members. Some people like me, would probably be clueless without your explanations. I thank you for taking the time to educate us, and for providing such wonderful support.

twitter needs to figure out long term scaling of their servers and load balance things more effectively. The hiccups they're seeing as a result of amazon's s3's and google-analytics bottlenecking things is crazy. Anyone running firebug in firefox can see where the hangups are when trying to load twitter pages. Hope they work it out. Like your services. Will have more another time.
