ok - i am soo lost with twinkle - i thoroughly enjoy it - i love the app - but since evening - its been crashing on me when I load up the app.

It loads - and then starts receiving the messages/tweets of people around me; and then all of a sudden just goes blank - and then goes to iPhone home screen. it keeps happening - i restarted the phone, shut down the iphone, deleted and reinstalled twitter - everything I thought about - i did - but nothing - nada :( seriously WTF !! now im getting annoyed at it!!

@mj

Not only them but Amazon S3 is having outages as well, so that is part of the problem.

@Thibault, @ideazinger.com, @notgetting it… there are many different ways of looking at it - for some it is a marketing channel, for others it is a community building tool, but in reality it is a way to stay connected to friends and family. Unfortunately, the last and the only useful way of using Twitter is something that gets lost in all the noise around twitter. that said, i like my own description of twitter: a tool to amplify self narcissism.

@Ste e

What you need to do is go to the identity page and then basically sign-up right from there. make a name and an email address and you are signed in. it is as simple as that.

i would recommend getting a new email account to ensure that your current one still keep it sanctity.

There is some truth to notgettingit’s description of Twittering as juvenlisation of adulthood. I agree to some extent though not all the way. There is a lot of “Look at me! Look at me!” types of finger pointing in Twitter.

Downloaded &installed Twinkle. Entered my Twitter acct. info. Program told me that I needed a Tapulious acct. Ok, how do I get the account? Nothing on their site that I could find. Went ahead and uninstalled it. Hey Twinkle developers…give us a clue how to get an account!
