You gotta love the Twitter. Not! Last week, we finally updated our content management system to automatically post news headlines on Twitter. This was something many of our you have requested. And I just announced our Twitter support to all 1 million+ of you.

As you know, we publish five very well respected magazines online: DominoPower, OutlookPower, WebSpherePower, Computing Unplugged and Connected Photographer. These correspond to brand-new Twitter accounts DominoPower, OutlookPower, WebSpherePower, ComputingUnplug, and ConnectedPhoto.

So you can imagine how joyful it was to discover, a day after telling our readers our free industry news was on Twitter, that all our accounts had been suspended. Not only does this help us feel oh-so-good about Twitter, but it makes us look terrible in front of all of you.

We were not contacted by Twitter. We were not given an explanation. And our email to them has not been responded to. My guess is they didn’t like our pinging of their API as we got the software to work (they limit their API to 100 requests per hour — our normal news flow would be about 6 news requests per day). But our requests for a test account for development wasn’t responded to by anyone at Twitter either.

I’m still hoping for an actual human being responsible for working with legitimate, mainstream publishers to contact me. My contact information is below. I’m also hoping they get back to me with some level of explanation — or a desire to work together. Otherwise, we’ll be writing this off as yet another bad experience by a faceless Web 2.0 service.

Meanwhile, for anyone who’s ever wondered why we don’t just job out the management of our magazines to some online service somewhere instead of building all our own code…now you know. Great fun, these "services". — David

No, this isn’t a typo. This how-to book is part of the EduManga series. So, if you can explain to your boss why you’re reading Manga books during your work day, this one covers basic concepts of relational databases including extracting data and permissions. It looks like a lot more fun to read than the usual documentation.

With a warning that "This is not for those who are easily offended", this 5 minute video has a series of brief "interviews" with Notes admins from companies near you.

Proving that "What You See Is (not always) What You Get", Ben Langhinrichs gives a short explanation, with lots of screen shots, of what can be sent out from the Notes 8.0.1 client and how it might look on the receiving end with a different client.

We found what he hope is one last glitch in the Twitter posting code which caused a bunch of minor problems in our last three posts. This, hopefully, will clean it up. Thanks for your patience!

We now have some official confirmation that President Obama will be using a BlackBerry device in office. In the first of his Daily Press Briefings, newly minted White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs answered some questions about the President’s BlackBerry.

Our own David Gewirtz published the following article on CNN’s Web site:

It’s official: Barack keeps his BlackBerry.

There are some important warnings in the articles for us regular computer users, so read it and pay heed.

We’ve got lots more interesting news on President Obama’s BlackBerry. ZATZ Editor-in-Chief wrote the following story early in the day, publishing on CNN.com:

Barack gets a superduper BlackBerry

Say you work for a new boss and want to keep your job. Now, say your new boss is the first-day-on-the-job President of the United States. Now, let’s say your boss, the President, tells you that not only are you not going to take his BlackBerry from him, you’re going to find a way to make sure he can keep it. What do you do? What do you do?

Read the article and find out.

This is definitely a beta service, so let us know if you run into any snags.

Mark Hughes has an application with 2 forms where the permissions are supposed to be different. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work that way. He’d appreciate some help from you if you know about setting security in xPage.
