Twitter App for Facebook is Broken! But Twitter Support is Non-Existant!

I have had time to blog that much, but since I’ve got some time today. I thought I might talk about how I’ve stumbled upon my own issues with Twitter. I’ve talked to https://twitter.com/fabbrunette about her issues with her password reset problems and Twitters phone verification not working at all. And then the on going issue of actually trying to get help without a login.

But lets cover my problems, because its all about me today. Ha.

The problem, I can’t add the Twitter application to my Facebook account. I know, I know, applications are the suck. But I thought I would have my twitter followers and facebook friends enjoy the comfort of my ramblings equally. Instead of favouring one platform, I can get the attention of my IRL (In Real Life) friends and my Twitter “followers”.

When I try to add the application, it asks for my login. I input my login and then am greeted with a “Wrong username or password”. So I decided to be smart about it, and use my email address, same outcome. So I change my password, same outcome. So I create a new Twitter account to see if that works. First try, same outcome, second try it works.

I don’t understand. Like seriously, I know I might sound a little annoying and bitchy, but it gets better.

So who do I talk to about this issue? Well Twitter of course, so I decided to click the “Help” and see what I might get out of this. To my surprise there is already a topic on the issue.

It might not be the issue im experiencing exactly, but its the right topic. But the comments are closed, so what to do now?

Gmail Email Address Confusion and MySpace SPAM!

So, I’ve been getting emails address to this guy named Josh Trask. It’s been going on for over a year, and I’ve had this email for a long time, I think it was 2005 when I activated my email account.

Anyways. I’ve been getting these emails for the last year or so. I’ve been replying to the ones that actual humans receive and letting them know they have the wrong email. I also tell them to tell Josh Trask that hes giving out the wrong email. Typically I don’t get a response.

Today, I think his wife/gf emailed me and in the Subject it said “Thinking about you”. Which was kinda funny. So I told her to tell Josh not to give out this email to his friends because it isn’t his.

But what really gets my button is the SPAM this guy signs up for. Well, some of it is just silly stuff that I personally don’t sign up for.

I though he just signed up for MySpace because now I’m getting all this MySpace Junk. So I looked into it and I found out that this guy us using  “[email protected]” which is totally messed up.But this isn’t Josh, this is Justin Trask.

Anyways, if you click show details in Gmail, you will see a (Yes this is You, Learn More). Which links to this.

So what do I do? I cancel his myspace account, he had no friends anyways. But I don’t understand why there was no email confirmation to opt in. That’s really messed up. Not only that, but if I want to unsubscribe I have to login and cancel the subscription that I didn’t even confirm to receive. LAME!
