This is awesome. Tantek Çelik, computer scientist and Chief Technologist at Technorati, took time to take a screenshot and write down specific problems and recommendations for how to make our Twitter sign up process better. We’ve changed today’s plans to focus specfically on his highlighted issues. Hopefully this is free advice and we’re not going to get a consulting invoice in the mail ;). Thanks Tantek!

Now you can tell Twitter to remind you to update. Believe it or not, this feature was requested enough that Jack whipped it up in today’s release.
If you want Twitter to automatically nudge you if you haven’t updated in 24 hours, go to Settings > Notifications and check the Nudge me box. Twitter will send a text to your phone or message to your IM account.

I’ve noticed here and there that folks have been wondering aloud whether or not they might be bothering others when they update their Twitter. It’s nice to know there are Twitter users out there with such delicate empathy for their texting brethren.

We thought it would be a good idea to share the simple Ruby library that makes the implementation of Jabber functionality really easy. Blaine has released an extraction of the Jabber support that was added to Twitter under the GPL on behalf of Obvious. Check out the code and docs at Blaine’s blog. Thanks Blaine!

Hey Gmail users: Did you know you can stick the Twitter Public Timeline in the “web clips” area of your Gmail? (Or any public Twitter user’s timeline).
