Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all our brothers and sisters from another mother across the ‘pond’ in USA!
To add one more element to the mix of celebration and being thankful, I’m giving away UNLIMITED FREE CREDITS to every new user that registers today, and today only. Thereafter they are $5 a pop.
I must be mad, but It’s all about you today.
Please go back to the home page...
DMs and other
Some people have asked me prior to registration, ‘Does the site send DMs to my followers?’ In short, no DMs are sent from this site at all, nothing, nada, zip.
That’s all for now!
Choo Choo!
Over the last week I have been checking, testing and measuring every aspect of the site to make sure everything works as it should, safely and securely.
I am pleased to announce that ALL bugs have been fixed.
There were a couple of issues that I wanted to sort out, which are now fixed.
In doing that I have had to clear ALL pending waves.
Please email me via the contact page if you want...

With apologies
Hi All,
A couple of days ago a tweet went through to quite a lot of peoples’ account when it should not have.
The reason being was a very small security over sight that has now been fixed.
Let me assure you that this will never happen again and the error has now been 100% ‘plugged’.
All security has now been upgraded to the highest levels.
Thank you for sticking with...
Testing and security
Hi All,
Because the site is still in BETA I’m taking the sending of waves offline for 24 hours.
This is so I can safely test and measure ALL security issues relating to the site.
Please do not send any waves at this time as ALL will be disregarded.
Thank you for your patience as this time will help me greatly with improving the efficiency of the site.
Users may still register and...
More new users!

New updated 22nd Nov '09
Hi All,
I’ve decided to change the system a little bit to make it a little less aggressive, and a little more user friendly.
When waves are sent you will see them in the ‘Pending’ section in your account area. Now you can click on either click ‘Allow’ or ‘Disallow’. If you click ‘Allow’ that wave will be scheduled to hit your account 24...
1,000,000!
The first big milestone that I wanted to achieve for the site was to have a total ‘reach’ of 1,000,000, which we now have! Waves now sent through the site could reach up to 1,000,000 Twitter users!
As I get excited when things like this happen, I’m going to award EVERY new user with free, unlimited, lifetime credits to the site for until Friday 20th November ‘09.
So if...
Done, done and done!
Hi All,
I have taken it upon myself to completely revamp http://twee.tw/ave once again at the request of my users. New features are being added every day. In the next 24 hours I hope to have all these features implemented. They will all be in effect for current, and new users.
1. Some users have reported that they have been following other users of the site once registering. This has now been...
More updates
Hi All,
I have found a flaw in the system today, which needs to be fixed before any more waves are sent.
If a user unregisters, he or she effectively creates a break in the chain of users whom the system sends waves to.
Each time a wave is sent, it only reaches a handful out of the users it is supposed to reach because of this error.
I have put the system into test mode again and no waves...

IMPORTANT Update & More changes!
Hi All,
At the request of my users, I am implementing the feature where by YOU manually approve RTs that get sent from the system.
This gives the ultimate power to you. So if you go away for a few days, no RTs will be sent.
You’ll need to turn email notifications ON to be kept updated.
Surely that’s what we’re here for is it be ‘social’ and to help one another...
Cron and sending changes
Hi All,
Over the last week I have had some serious issues with the backend Cron task for this site. The Cron task if the scheduled task that sends your waves 24 hours after they have been approved or disapproved. After much deliberation i’ve decided to remove this task, and simply have approve or deny for each wave with a 24 hour expiry time.
So when a wave is sent, you will receive an...
Good waves
Hi Guys,
I’m really liking the waves that are going through the system right now. They are not selling anything, or being pushy or driving the ‘hard sell’, just a bit of fun for now, which I think is great. That’s the reason why I built this system to get more messages to more people, not to make people more money from affiliate links…
Here are some examples of...

Hi All,
I’ve been working the last couple of days to fix a cron task that send the tweets after 24 hours of being published. It’s working fine now, but I’ve had to clear any pending tweets 24 hours prior to my fixing this bug.
If you have posted a tweet more than 24 hours ago and it has not sent, please re-send it, or send something different as it was not working before, and...

Hi All,
Although the site has had one or two bugs, nothing major, we’re making great progress.
Some real big hitters from Twitter have signed up, which gives me great confidence in the product.
If no one signed up then it would be a massive failure, but it’s been quite the opposite, a massive success!
The ‘reach’ of the site is now over 600k! That means that when...
Email conformation
Hi All,
There is a bug with the site not sending out email conformations to new users.
I’m working on it now and should have the problem sorted out asap.
Thanks for your patience.

Fast growth
Wow!
The site is growing so fast!
The ‘reach’ of the site is over 300,000 already! I seriously cannot wait until we hit the 1m barrier, hopefully it won’t take to long.
Then where do we go from there? The sky is the limit! I’m going to lay my cards on the table and say that we will have a reach of at least 1m by this time next month.
Everyone who is using the site is loving it, and more...
Teething problems
Hi All,
There are one or two problems with the cron task that automates sending out the tweets. I’m looking into it now and should have it fixed and normal service resumed within the next couple of hours.
Thanks

More new features
Hi all,
New features being added today!
- Re-tweets will not appear on your own account
- Sorry, but if you have infinite credits, you will not be able to share them!
Working on it, coming in a couple of hours.

No repetition!
Hi All,
I just remember I needed to tell you about an article I read the other day. Twitter has altered their TOS slightly so you CANNOT repeat tweets. Please bear this in mind when sending out your RTs.
Check it out here:

Thanks Dewald.

A few extras
Hi All,
I’m working away this afternoon to get text into pages that may seem a little unclear. I’m also putting videos together so you have step-by-step guides to understand exactly what the site is all about, and what it can do.
If anyone would like to put together a video testimonial I won’t stand in your way! :)
Have a great day,
Dan

Interests
Hi All,
I’ve just added a super cool feature, which I thought was worth resetting the system so everyone could re-register and benefit from this.
When you signup you will now be asked for an interest or niche. Some of which include Technology, Charity, Cooking anything really. When you select your interest you will only be notified when users of similar interests send waves to your...
Guidelines
Hi All,
Please remember that each and every tweet you send will be published on a real person’s Twitter account. People do not want to get a bad rep because of a tweet that they RT’d on your behalf. I hope that you will all read and take in the following guidelines as I will be watching and do not want to have to slap any wrists or intercept any tweets and / or ban users.
Just to put your mind...
Tick Tock
Hi Guys,
Up until now the site has been in ‘demo’ mode where you could use the site in it’s entirety, but not publish any tweets.
I’ve completed my testing for now, and believe it is ready to go.
I’ll be removing the demo mode over the next hour or so, then we’ll be ready to go!
Good luck, and happy tweeting!
Dan
YOUR Control
Hi All,
Just a quick not to say that you have COMPLETE CONTROL over each and every wave that is sent on the system. You can:
Ban Keywords
Limit the amount of tweets your account sends a day
Disapprove certain tweets
Ban keywords
Add taboo words for instant ban
and many more…
YOU are in control. This site is for you to get your message across to as many people as possible.
Good...
Email Updates
Hi All,
Every time a user of the system sends a wave on the site, you will receive an instant notification via email of that tweet and how to disapprove it.
The reason why you only have the chance to disapprove the wave is because there is a 24 hour window after the wave has been sent for all registered users to have time to make their decision. If you DO NOT disapprove each wave after 24...
Beta testing this week
Hi All,
I’ve unleashed the site to a lucky few for beta testing.
There are bound to be a few bugs and a few problems with the site.
If you find anything that you think I should know about please drop me an email at dan@needcreative.co.uk with the title ‘Twee.tw/ave Bugs’
Thanks very much,
Stay posted for final release.

Post your tweet and number of RTs here
Hi all,
Thanks for registering and becoming a member of twee.tw/ave
As you know the number of users of the site is ever growing. As we continue to grow, we will notice a shocking increase in the number of RT’s that are posted. I would like you to find out the number of RT’s that you get from each wave you send and post them here. Please quote the tweet wave you sent via the...
Site down for upgrades
HI all,
Twee.tw/ave is currently down right now. If you do log on to the site and find you cannot use it, that’s probably why..
Over the last few weeks i’ve been making some major upgrades that you have probably noticed if you’re a regular visitor to the site.
I’m just making some final changes and then i’ll release the first public beta.
I cannot stress...
