  1. @peterdcox: activation uses twitter search, which lags a bit. You'll get a DM when activated. Sorry for the delay, working on fixing this.
  2. @spectrem it should be possible to retrieve up to 3200 tweets; there was probably some temp error while retrieving, will look into it
  3. @abbagailcreates thanks for your support! i'm happy the service is useful for you, and will take a look at the safari/iphone problems
  4. @abbagailcreates ah, ok, was thinking mail didn't work for you; yeah, there's no option of mailing all previous tweets, but you can dl them
  5. @dboyll not atm, there's only text+stamps, or in the xml format; we could add it (or csv supp.) if more people think they'd use the option
  6. @rltuva yeah, that's only for api access rate-limiting (we are whitelisted on it); I'm hoping they'll lift the 3200 limit in the future ^SR
  7. @rltuva correct; there's a limit on 3200 placed by Twitter API, so no backup app can go beyond that (at least for the time being)
  8. had an unplanned downtime yesterday due to server (out of) memory problems; should be working fine now, apologies to our users
  9. @themaria possibly tweetake has an additional limit (see comments @ http://bit.ly/KDpRA); tweetbackup or sparrw.com should work up to 3200
  10. @themaria unfortunately you can only get last 3200 of your tweets, no matter which method you use, that's a twitter limit :(
  11. History search just got better (eye candy + usability improvements): http://twitpic.com/5ig98 What do you think?
  12. @CheesecakeBree Twitter guys promise they store all, but ATM support retrieving only 3200; possibly limit will get lifted in the future ^SR
  13. @asteris Twitter API limits retrieval to max 3200, no backup service can go beyond. Btw, we (sparrw.com) do auto backup + history search ^SR
  14. @nikolaplejic @NuMessiah - to activate the backup, please also follow @sparrw (we need this for DMing you and scaling our friends limit)
  15. @gandalfar glad you like the service, let us know if you have comments; current history search ui is sucky, we'll work on that rsn
  16. Thirty minutes and four lines of code later, we have a workaround for the recent @reply change and are again saving all users' tweets.
  17. New Twitter replies change breaks sparrw, as we're relying on following people to get all their updates.
  18. Changed URL of recent tweet RSS feed to sparrw.com/user/<twitter_screen_name>/feed/ . If you're using it, please update
  19. A slight facelift, more bugs squashed, and we're open for business! Visit http://sparrw.com/ and start saving your tweets today.
  20. Base functionality working nicely, working on premium subscriptions, expect public launch Real Soon Now! Beta testers still welcome :)
