9 Resolved! Issues with the Twitter Updates Gadget (and others)
Wednesday, September 23, 2009 /

This issue should now be resolved. I have checked the Twitter Updates gadget (plus others) on various sites, and am now assured everything should be back to normal.

I've been made aware of the issues many Blogger users are experiencing with the Twitter Updates gadget. At present, this is showing "tweets" from the user @undefined and ignores user preferences for the number of tweets to be displayed.

The same issue affects some of my other gadgets too: most notably, the Flickr, Picasa, TwitPic and Juitter gadgets.

As far as I can tell right now, this issue stems from a sudden, random error affecting any gadgets utilizing User Preferences. These issues do not seem to be affecting every blog in which such gadgets are installed.

The Blogger Team are aware of the issue and are investigating now. I'm also testing various changes to user preferences for my gadgets to see if a different solution to registering user preferences could resolve the issue for my gadgets.

I anyone is still receiving errors when using their Twitter Updates gadget (particularly if this displays tweets from @undefined's stream) please do let me know in the comments or send me an email.

TweetMeMe gives me fits on my Blogger blog. It doesn't show the tweets and retweets accurately. It shows zero no matter how many there are.

My retweet button doesn't seem to be working. Why is this happening?

Hi Amanda, I'm using this g8t widget of yours. But when i entered my username 'hmar' in the search area, i'm getting tweets from other twitters wo posted the word 'hmar'. Can we have the same widget only for username...? with the same instant/auto update.
