Hello,

It seems that Gmail does not perform and store in its DB contact authorization.
It keeps asking for subscription request.

It seems right now a problem with Google and it worked fine a few hours ago.

We will follow up on the topic and keep your informed !

There is a workaround: After you have accepted the subscription request, add the contact “twitter.tweet.im” to your contact list. It seems it forces GTalk to do the right thing.

We hope this is a temporary workaround.

I’ve tried adding it to my contact list in gmail, and gtalk directly, and it still won’t work :(

Hello Dietrich,

Did you fill the form on tweet.im website first ?

yes :)

i set up my gTalk account with iChat, and it says “waiting for authorization” in the buddy list.

here are my steps:
1. add self via form on tweet.im
2. click “accept” when IM client asks “twitter.tweet.im wants to add you ... etc”
3. add twitter.tweet.im to gTalk contact list

I have this working *sort of*.

I filled in the form on tweet.im. I accepted twitter.tweet.im
Nothing happened.

I read this forum.
I filled out the form again.
I added Twitter.Tweet.IM
I accepted Twitter.Tweet.IM
I was able to see Tweets and Tweet BUT
Tweet.twitter.IM is not in my buddy list, shows as ‘Invite’ so if I close the chat window it is gone and I have to start all over again.

Otherwise, this is a (soon to be, I am sure) great service. One that I personally have wanted for a while.

I guess you are at the Erlang Conf in Stockholm? Lucky.

Didn’t work for me in Adium or the web client within GMail. My first guess at a cause would be that Google’s XMPP doesn’t like addresses that are only a host name. Maybe add support for .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)? I’m working on a bot that catches every message on its domain regardless of user name. It’s based on http://anders.conbere.org/docs/code/echo_bot.erl

Twitter.Tweet.IM works perfectly from my own ejabberd install. Speaking of which, when do we see mod_twitter in the ejabberd-modules svn repo? :)

Cheers

i’ve noticed that across multiple restarts, etc, i continue to get prompted by my gtalk client to accept twitter.tweet.im’s request.

Did you try the process describe earlier in this thread (add twitter.tweet.im as a contact) ?

i can’t get this to work either..

i filled out the form on the webpage, and nothing happened.  i use miranda client by the way.
so i logged off and opened the official gtalk client, and it said twitter.tweet.im wanted to be my friend, so i clicked Yes, and again, nothing happened.  i don’t have the twitter.tweet.im contact in my list (its there, but offline / hasn’t accepted my invitation, etc)

any ideas?

yep. tried it all via various IM clients.

i sure do want this to work, it’d be so very grand :)

Hello,

Could you please all retry ?

It looks like it is working now.

It seems that GMail is really buggy on the contact addition of transport.

We are writing a new code that will be specific to Google.
We will deploy it tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience !

For your information: I am writting a small code that will resubscribe all “@gmail.com” account with this new approach.
