The auto feed is NOT working!!!!!
Arrrrrgh!!!!! CFB isn’t a week old yet and I’m up to my ass in problems. Chief among them is that the auto feed (my complex contraption involving TwitterMail and LetterMeLater) is working only intermittently. All the tweets that you’ve seen since Wednesday have been manually posted. In these early days of the project I think it’s crucial to keep the story going, and considering this week I was tweeting through the Battle of Milvian Bridge, which basically founded the Byzantine Empire, I wanted the feed to keep going even if it was a bit erratic.
I’m sure the problem is TwitterMail, because LetterMeLater is working like a dream. This weekend I’m going to be scouting around for an alternative and I hope I can find something. In a couple of weeks I’m going to be away for a spell and not able to manually re-post the tweets, so the auto feed better be working by then.
If anyone knows of a way to update Twitter from email in a way that does NOT involve TwitterMail, please email me at cryforbyzantium@gmail.com.
In the meantime, we now have 15 followers as of this morning. Welcome everybody, I hope you enjoy the story!
