Hello Steve & friends,

I wanted to let everyone know that the underscore issue _ has been worked out. We have many other new features. Other kinks have been worked out too.

If you need anything, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Jeff Knize

I agree, there are some kinks to work out for the folks at Wooxie; but I remember the pieces of Twitter that were slowly added in, and have high hopes that they will work in features that will fill in the gaps. And perhaps exceed the limitations of Twitter, too…. I’ll ask Jeff Knize about the underscore feature… ~Steve

I’m a Twitter power user, and I was intrigued by this alternative microblog platform that I could use in the event Twitter breaks (which it occasionally does). However, I discovered one problem: my Twitter username has an underscore because somebody in Sweden has my name with no underscore, and Wooxie usernames don’t allow special characters like underscores. So the Twitter integration will work with that Swedish guy with my name but not for me. Otherwise, with a few caveats, Wooxie sounds great. Still, I’ll continue to use Identi.ca and Meme instead: the first has better Twitter integration, while I’ve found a way to use FriendFeed to integrate the second with Twitter (hint: RSS feed).

Oh, absolutely not considering leaving Twitter. But I definitely want to investigate the alternatives and competition. The fine work being done at other places needs to be highlighted and supported! Love you! ~Steve

Great, Kris! Hope you find it interesting, even if it doesn’t pan out, it’s worth keeping Twitter’s feet to the fire, and we can always say we were there when….
