Temporarily Disabled the Twittley Plug-in

17 July, 2009 - 07:00 AM - 5 Comments

I had several email communications with the Twittley folks who were having hosting problems with their ISP, as a result the twittley plug-in was having constant spotty outages which left nasty boxes instead of the retweet button on my blogs which looked like this:

In Addition, for some reason I noticed I have been getting much fewer tweets with Twittley plug-in than I was getting with Tweetmeme, this may be because more people recognize TweetMeme and use the plug-in and service.Â So temporarily until Twittley is up on a new more stable ISP, I have decided to restore my Tweetmeme plug-in.Â I still think Twittley is aÂ more accurate way to track popularity of tweets and will become relevant but it needs greater stability before I can start using it full time.

Just wanted to introduce myself and explain the problems you expirenced with Twittley. I'm Joey Sikes, my dad and I recently purchased Twittley. The traffic actually crashed our VPS so we've upgraded to a monster dedicated server so I can promise you won't have any further problems with the button. I'd also like to let you know, within about two weeks there will be a huge upgrade to Twittley, making it hands down the best out there. We hope you'll switch back and be sure to keep an eye on Twittley, things are only going to get better. We have big plans.

Good to know, I will certainly switch back and give it another run.

I use twittley full time even with the problems and people not using it. Twittley is much better, people just have to get use to using twittley.

I agree that twittley is better, I will switch back to see if it is more stable.

Hello Justin,

I don't use both in my own blog but I used them in other people's blogs. and I noticed that tweetmeme is easier to use that twittley. Tweetmeme also responds more quickly than twittley.

I say this as a user of both. Cheers.
