This really isnt a problem but rather a feature request.

This is a great idea, which I added to our feature list when you first posted this. Just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten. I'll get to it when I get to it, but it'll definitely come out at some point. Cheers!

This is my new favourite reply to me that wasn't for me: http://twitter.com/oyido/statuses/772...

It seems with the internationalisation of twitter to the asian land, they'd figure this one out.

I'm sure it's about the history of China. So this bug is starting to turn into a feature, yes?

Hi William,

Edit: This is most likely due to a miscalculation of fans. We'll look into this. Thanks for your feedback!

If I'm a fan of 1, who is that no 1?

The Pownce says I'm a fan of someone, yet there is no one listed on my fan_of list. What gives? http://pownce.com/veeliam/fan_of/

I have the same problem, too. Here are some examples to my username @v:

http://twitter.com/letshavetxt/status...
http://twitter.com/hi__ro/statuses/71...
http://twitter.com/roduar/statuses/71...
http://twitter.com/lenvow/statuses/71...

These examples show that there doesn't have to be a commercial at sign for one to get replied to.

When working with (how many?) different languages, programmaticly figuring this out is ruff. ;)

:focus on Keyboard Navigation

I think it'd be a great idea if Pownce had some CSS rules specified for the dynamic pseudo-classes :focus just like is already there for :hover. SRSLY. Group a :focus selector with all the :hover selectors that have already been declared, and you're set.

This would really benefit keyboard navigation, and perhaps some other alternative assistive technology devices out there.

One last thing :focus {outline: 0;} ought to go as well. Add overflow:auto if one must.

Cheers!

p.s. Get Satisfaction could benefit from this, as well.

Great! Thanks for the response.

And just for the record, I'm not interested in any of the single letter usernames. I was when I asked 4 months ago, but not anymore.

We'll look into this - thanks!

So, it's either http://pownce.com/light11/ or http://pownce.com/aloncarmel2k/ who is squatting on all the leftover single letter username IDs with the name of "Zed G", or is a friend of theirs or God. After all, they did take my v.

Jon Pierce replied on December 21, 2007 21:32 to the question "Twitter's initial list of friends" in Twitter:

It would be interesting -- and I think more useful -- to sort by affinity (e.g., tweets back and forth, intersection of social graphs, etc.). Of course, like Rod, as an early registrant, the current system works just fine for me. :)

veeliam asked a question in Pownce on October 24, 2007 07:14:

How short can a username be?

The initial question was, "Who is God, & why does he know so many Zeds?" What I really want to know is, why are all the single character usernames taken by one user named Zed!

The question is meant rather serious, yet tounge in cheek.

http://pownce.com/god/ has 20 friends, two of which are not "zed g". He also looks a lot like Mr T, but I'm sure that's another story.

I like this ordering, but that's because I'm:

a) Wicked old-school (user number 761)
b) First-name-alphabetically-challenged!
c) egotistical enough to want to appear on my followers' lists

We had to make a change to this for performance reasons. It's now in a not-particularly usefully sorted order.

After we get some of the site performance issues under control, we'll switch it back to a more useful format.
