News and commentary from the RSS and OPML community.

I'm really amazed that people speak so highly of Twitter. I've been using it for the last week or two and I've noticed that it doesn't work more often than it does. Points:

  • I miss all blurbs from most of my friends.
  • I miss some blurbs from all friends.
  • I missed all blurbs several days in-a-row.
  • Some blurbs get sent two and three times.

Maybe it's just a bad week, but Twitter seems completely unreliable to this user.

Update: Also, I've never yet receive a twitter blurb on my cell phone via SMS. Only via Gtalk.

I've never had the first three happen, and the last one ("two and three times") is a bug that just recently surfaced and seems to have been squashed. How have you signed up for notifications?

I've setup for notifications on im and phone. Right now I'm on phone. Earlier today, I was on im. im seems to work better.
