TrueTwit Maintenance

November 21st, 2009

TrueTwit will be down for a spell the morning of Sunday, November 22, 2009. Shouldn’t be too long. We’re deploying a number of minor bug fixes.

TrueTwit 1.5 Upgrade Complete

October 7th, 2009

TrueTwit has been upgraded to version 1.5. This is a bugfix release:

  • Some errors in signup are fixed
  • Some messsages have been improved when Twitter doesn’t respond
  • Some sign-up screens have been added to make it very clear that TrueTwit sends DMs to new followers on behalf of users

Thanks for your patience during the upgrade.

New DM-less TrueTwit Lurking …

October 2nd, 2009

The hard-working development team at TrueTwit is getting close to revealing some EXTREMELY cool new stuff.  A TrueTwit without DMs!  A lot of TrueTwit users just don’t seem to like the model of validation supported by Direct Messages (DMs).  We’ve listened, an we’ve put a ton of effort into a very cool new set of tools that allow you to easily and quickly rank new followers and make an informed decision as to whether you want to follow them back. Watch this space for more details coming in the next few weeks!

TrueTwit 1.4 Released

September 15th, 2009

The latest TrueTwit, version 1.4,  has been released.  Mostly there are bug fixes and internal changes. Three notable changes:

  • Error messages while linking your account to Twitter are improved
  • When you auto-follow someone who has validated, mobile notifications are no longer automatically enabled.

Thanks to all our members for helping us improve the product!

Resolved: Temporary Problem Syncing With Twitter

September 10th, 2009

Twitter has fixed the problems affecting their API allowing TrueTwit to start removing followers that are suspended or that you blocked. We are glad this is back, as you probably are too!

Temporary Problem Syncing With Twitter

September 9th, 2009

Just a quick note to let you know that TrueTwit has a mechanism in place to synch your followers’ list up with Twitter, but from what we understand, Twitter did a bit of redesigning early Saturday morning, and since then, they have been experiencing a few minor issues.
Because of this, we dialed this down. Because of that, you may notice people you have unfollowed or blocked still showing up in your TrueTwit list. As soon as Twitter lets us know things stabilized (which should be very soon), we will switch our follower synching back on.

New TrueTwit Released

August 27th, 2009

On August 26th TrueTwit was upgraded with some new exciting features!

  • Ability to block or unblock followers without having to log into Twitter
  • Ability to unfollow or follow followers manually
  • We now track when the follower verified with TrueTwit
  • Bugfixes to fix holes.
  • TrueTwit has been wildly successful. With that success, we have had some of our infrastructure costs rise. To cover those costs we have decided to put limited amounts of advertising on our pages for a trial basis. We will be evaluating the success of these advertisements in light of our business plan. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
