Impressive - what is twitter?

Kudos, Christopher. Looks like you've got it working. Shall I dump this thread now?

Actually I'd like to leave it open if it's all the same, but thanks for asking.

I noticed that if I edit the title of the post on typophile it does not edit the !title portion of the tweet. Is it possible to make this so?

What is Twitter? LOL. Oh man I feel like a dweeb now...

Once the tweet goes out, there's no more editing. Changes here won't affect
what's out on Twitter. It's out of our hands at that point.

Test messages are functionally equivalent to spam. The fact that the so-called moderator of this site, who does no such thing, actually asks permission before deleting, then actually doesn’t delete, tells you a lot.

It is telling Joe. The moderators are here, active, and not content Nazis. Christopher Dean is one of the best contributors to the site and him working on interacting with the interface on one topic isn't spam. If he did it to excess, then sure. But that's not the case.

Grumble on you surly old curmudgeon. I'm growing an affection for your playing the role of Oscar the grouch.

@ Jared: Your instructions re twitter great. Enough that someone like me can get it right the first time. I woke up this morning and noticed "buddy" features were also there. Not sure how new this is. I mucked about and it seems pretty self explanatory and I'm pretty sure I managed to get it working too. I did a few searches that came up with not. Are there instructions or a description of the buddy feature somewhere on the site that I may have overlooked?

Hey, you guys are sneaking in new features at crazy rates! :-)
Seconded: Any «official» word on the buddy list? Looks like a very nice feature.

And the "Flag" one?

"I noticed that if I edit the title of the post on typophile it does not edit the !title portion of the tweet. Is it possible to make this so?"

I'm new to twitter, but would "retweating" influence this?

I like to think of it as treating everyone with the respect I'd hope they would offer me.

As for the Buddy List, think of this as a very "Beta" feature that we wanted to try out. In essence, you can add Buddies by clicking the link on their profile page. This allows you to track their activity in a more economical fashion.

The Flag feature is to empower all users to identify posts that require moderator attention. It goes into a central queue that the moderators will be watching. This is a more efficient way to manage the volume of content than the emails we get from time to time pointing out spammers in our midst. We'll be working to tuck the Flag link into the bottom right to keep it out of the way.

Complaint from Joe = no complaint

Nope. Still doesn't work.

Looks like 'flag' has disappeared?
