Demand Satisfaction!

All praise Get Satisfaction users who go above and beyond!

Twitter, which a lot of people are in love with (including me), has had a spate of service interruptions lately. This has led to a lot of frustration for many people (including me).

The Twitter evangelists among us (Twitterati?) believe that the people who don’t appreciate Twitter — those who poo-poo the idea of instant-message shout-outs and poetic epiphanies of 140 characters or less — just don’t get it. Maybe they never will, and who knows how Twitter will grow and scale, or if anyone should even care if everyone else “gets it”. For now, it is fun for those who love it, but even the Twitter faithful get unhappy when their friends don’t get their tweets.

This week, that unhappiness led to one of the most followed conversations on Get Satisfaction. After hearing about the many reports of undelivered tweets, Twitter employees worked on the problem, and most of the bugs seem to have been worked out.

But one of the less followed conversations this week was a very useful breakdown of the many commands you can use with Twitter. Thanks go out to Crystal from Twitter for posting this information, as it’s something many people have asked for in the past.

Today, a Get Satisfaction Twitter hacker (Tweeker?) saw Crystal’s list and decided to make — and share — a pocket-sized version you can download, with some of the most handy Twitter commands.

Great job, jted! You’re the kind of Get Satisfaction user that makes us stand up and take notice.

I’m printing mine out right now.
