Ok, fair enough, for some reason I thought the characters were not reporting properly, perhaps it was a bug once and I never noticed it was fixed. Either way, I'll stop using the just shorten button for sure! You may still want to put some error trapping code in there to prevent posts from appearing under Recently Posted if they are Scheduled but not yet posted, to prevent confusion for others :)

A comment on the problem ""Scheduled" posts show up in "Recently Posted"" in StumbleUpon:

No, the posts are not showing as needing re-trying, they are just visible in the "Recently Posted" page. I may honestly be clicking the just shorten button before posting, I'm not sure. If that is the problem, it is mainly b/c I need to know what the total word count is, and it incorrectly reports it unless the url is shortened first. I would recommend auto-shortening like TweetDeck desktop or having a third button that shortens etc. Or include logic to keep them out of the Recently Posted list until they are really posted. Either way, the current method is confounding :) – andy cochrane, on December 11, 2009 01:32

"Scheduled" posts show up in "Recently Posted"

"Scheduled" posts show up in "Recently Posted" list before they are actually posted. Confusing.

Yup. Finding people to follow is... near impossible without a hotmail/gmail account. I've found that the twittellator iPhone app is actually the only reasonable way to do this!

work hand in hand with iPhone maps

the iPhone app is great (works faster than any iPhone web app yet!), but I want more. Specifically, I want to be able to send an address (the location of a friend etc) to the Google map application so that I can get driving directions from where I am to where they are.

When the 2nd gen iPhone comes out you guys had better work GPS into the mix ;)

requests for invites just diluting this system!

I have an idea for you guys- don't ask people to ask for invites, it's clogging up this system and creating 100s of redundant posts. Instead do this:

Give us all 3 invites, if our 3 invited people log in and use the system, reward us with 3 more invites, etc. etc.

this encourages us to get others more active on the site, and gets rid of all these damn friend invite requests in here!!!!
