Why support Twitter?

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
OK, we're all about Open Source. We're about non-profit.
Why then are we posting on Twitter and Facebook? I know Facebook is pretty big and "down with the kids" but Twitter is just hype; and commercial at that.
It's sending the WRONG message. Come on Mozilla, let's use a completely OPEN solution to micro-blogging and show the world that we support OPEN developers.

Tx. Morbus. I thought I had upgraded - how remiss of me! (Particularly as I'm something of a Mozilla evangelist). I'll go whip myself soundly in a mo.
As for Twitter, my point (and I'm trying to reach out here - these forums are not ideal) is that despite sucking (no argument there) Mozilla really has no business in promoting it.
Being commercial and closed source, Twitter Inc. stands for pretty much everything that Mozilla doesn't. It may only be a vehicle, but large sites such as this one have a responsibility to show that it's not the only way to micro-blog. As a community we should eschew it completely because by supporting it we're giving a legitimacy that it simply does not deserve.

Error "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"

I have a Curve 8300. With OS v4.5.0.81. And I am on a BB Social network plan through my cell providor "Fido".
I mainly use it for Facebook & Twitter and have no problems using either app. However I was prompted for an update for my twitter recently but wasn't near a wifi spot to update. Just decided to update today at home where I do have wifi. However when I go to do the update, it gives me the following error:
"Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"
I have scoured for answers but haven't had much luck. I tried checking for OS updates. I apparently have the most current one that my phone will support. I uninstalled twitter and then tried to reinstall it via the twitter Icon on my phone. Got the same error. Tried reinstalling it through app world, it installed just fine. However it installed the version that I had previously had. So I went to twitter's settings and checked for updates. It prompted for one as I expected it would. And when I tried to get the update. It gave me that error again. I can use twitter as it is, but I don't see why my phone shouldn't be able to get all the updates for various apps. Is it a software compatability issue? Is it a hardware compatability issue? Is there anything I can do to get the update or do I just have a phone that won't take some app updates?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
The 8300 is not listed in the device upgrade table for Blackberry device OS v5.0. The newer versions of apps like Twitter and Facebook require device OS v5.0 to run correctly. Might be time to consider a new device!

Why is safari not supporting twitter and google ?

i have mac pro and im trying to go in google and twitter websites in safari since two weeks
but its responding .. there is something wrong about it ..
is it a temporary problem or it wont work anylonger ?
any solutions?
please help x
thanks.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Why is Twitter for iPhone constantly logging me out?

Hi!
I have an iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) and the Twitter (latest version) app constantly logs me out. Beforehand, the app will experience a freeze then the next thing I know is that I'm in the login screen of the app. This is ******* me off since logging back in again discards my settings and drafts data. Any explanation/help about this?
Thank you!

I first logged in thru iOS (Settings). Then I was logged out after a few weeks of use. Then I tried removing my account completely from iOS so that it will also disappear from the app. Then finally, I tried logging in thru the app. Still, I was experiencing random logouts.

Why does Twitter operate and look inferior on Firefox when compared to Internet Explorer?

When I send a Tweet on Twitter on Firefox, my server said that the message could not be delivered when in fact is was. The layout of Twitter also looks and acts differently when I use Internet Explorer (it is superior.) My friend was having such a hard time used Twitter on Firefox several months ago, she uses Google Chrome, which I intensely dislike. It seems that Firefox is NOT keeping up with the upgrades with Twitter and Youtube.com

Every browser renders a webage differently. Usually very slightly but enough to notice it.
So you have to take that into account. Not a big deal. Simply make the changes and everybody is happy.
And Internet Explorer became obsolete in 2003 :

So don't mention it.

Why don't Apple support Skype?

Why don't Apple support Skype like they supports twitter and soon Facebook

Because Skype support Skype, they wrote/own it not Apple.
If you are having problems with Skype on your iPod Touch look on thier support forums to see if there's a fix or someone who can help you there.
If your question is why you can't use FaceTime to contact a Skype contact you can't but, have you searched the App Store for Skype and downloaded the App, it works like a dream.

Canon 40D and G9 support

Apple locked down the original 40D support thread which is not a good sign for us Aperture customers who are not able to use our $300 application.
I did find an article that talks about using Aperture with unsupported cameras and I thought it might be helpful:
http://www.oreillynet.com/digitalmedia/blog/2007/09/dealingwith_unsupported_rawf.html
Obviously this is not something any of us wants to deal with for long - especially since Adobe has offered support through Lightroom since September 12th, but it looks like we are going to be forced to find a work around until Apple decides to provide a solution.

Technically, discussing future features that haven't been announced by Apple is against the terms of service for the forum. That might be one reason why 'support my brand new camera' threads tend to end up getting locked.

How to delete tweet in Twitter app

Firefox 5 having encoding (utf8) problems? Twitter looks messed up...

I'm really clueless why the twitter site (among others) looks so messed up?
Does Firefox have problems with encoding and displaying utf-8 websites correctly? I already had this problem with Firefox 4 but not with older versions... I can't believe they launch a new browser version with utf-8 problems?
Am I the only one having this problem?
Help!

Yes, I was already expecting to see something like that.
This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica font or other fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.<br />
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.<br />
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.<br />
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.

Safari problems with Twitter & Google Docs

Has anyone else been having problems recently using Google Docs & Twitter in Safari (I'm currently using 5.0.1)?
*For Google Docs:*
It logs in sometimes very slowly to show me my list of Docs. Then when I actually am able to open a doc, it continues to say "Working..." at the top and "Loading https://spreadsheets..." at the very bottom.
*For Twitter:*
Things seem to load ok, but it will not let me post a Tweet. Also when typing in the "What's happening?" box, the 140 character count does not count down. The Tweet button is also dull/ghosted/grayed out. I found this article: http://support.twitter.com/articles/136114-tweets-don-t-post-after-pressing-the- tweet-button-known-issue/20 mentioning what sounds like a similar problem, but I checked and I have Java enabled.
Very frustrating

Ok.. WEIRD.. Just as a thought I turned off all Safari Extensions and it instantly fixed all of my problems. I then thought there was a bug in a specific Extension I had installed. I turned the Extensions back on though and things are still working fine. I did notice one of my Extensions had an update ready to install.
Things are still working fine for me, though I don't know if it was an issue with Extensions in general or a specific one I had. Here is a list of the Extensions I currently have installed:
Twitter for Safari
Exposer
Share to Google Reader
Facebook Photo Zoom
Access Keys
Awesome Screenshot
Anyone else have these Extensions installed?

I get this error sometimes when I try to post a photo to Twitter: "The Tweet "Blah, blah, blah." cannot be sent because the connection to Twitter failed"

Hello, everyone
I've been having a very hard time trying to fix this issue; I get this error 'sometimes', when I try to post a photo to Twitter: "The Tweet cannot be sent because the connection to Twitter failed".
Here's a photo:
How to I fix this?
Please help, Thank you!

Never-mind. I found out what's causing this issue. On Twitter's website support page, I found this: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20156423-posting-photos-on-twitter it gives info about posting photos on Twitter; well, it says: "photos must be 5 MB or lower, and GIF's must be 6 MB or lower".
Please share this info to all Mac, or iDevice users who are having this issue. Thank you!
