There is nothing wrong with it, I can see all the news posts from today, and I have recently - earlier - changed it to include news from Playstatic & Nintendic which an update to the twitterfeed brought in the last entries listed on those sites. If you scroll down, you'll see 3hrs ago it listed what I wrote about Gears 3 today...

It checks at regular intervals for new posts.

I unfollowed. It turned into shitty spam. The posts that tweet need to be prioritized.

_Chris_ · March 18th, 2010, 03:07

Hmm.. Maybe it would be a good idea to make 4 separate accounts on Twitter for us, xboxic playstatic nintendic and ICG, there are a lot of fanboys out there that only care about one console... Seeing as we don't need to update the twitter accounts ourselves it shouldn't be a problem...

It didn't turn into spam, it just got more news content than it ever got before and is loving it!!

It separates site hits, not a good idea - we have now just become a twitter page that posts more than xbox news, as does most other multi console tweeting sites now. As it's not a priority really, I think it can still be left to those who want to follow it - follow it, and those who dont, dont have too.

The feed does post PS duplicates for multi content - but my idea around that was to make the one of them post just the title, and another to post Title & Description which still makes it the same, but one more interesting...

Its a tomorrow job

EDIT- actually just looking at the clicks on the feed, the news is clicked more with Playstatic: & Xboxic: posting together even though its same news content mentioned. Highest clicked post today was _chris_'s Trademark news - so things are staying the same since it's actually a positive improvement to the views. Albeit a small improvement, it is better the last 24hrs as icgamers than it was as just xboxic

Hey guys can you help me with a computer problem?
I get this error:

It comes up on Chrome, IE8 and Firefox...so It has to be some flash problem...I think? I've uninstalled the flash plugins and reinstalled...and i still get this annoying notification a million times while I'm surfing.

Anyone know anything about it?

I'm running Windows7 64 bit if that helps.

How can you tell how many hits we are getting from twitter?

Because the links are using bit.ly which can be tracked

_Chris_ · March 18th, 2010, 03:47

OMG!! That must have been torture for the driver of the car!!!

That guy called me back for a second interview today - I told him I have accepted work elsewhere now - (I haven't) but I didn't want to be honest and say that after meeting him, seeing his office - the job is great, but the people are awful and I am not that desperate to take anything..

46Matt · March 18th, 2010, 16:28

You should have just told him the truth, might make him change, or that could just be wishful thinking...

Ah expected it had something to do with health reform but it's succeeding exceedingly well in not making news headlines this side of the pond. Guess 'we' kinda stopped caring about all of the US raising hell about an overdue health reform that's still medieval from our perspective

Reading up on CNN I don't see the 'bypassing constitution' thing happening though?

It's about US citizens very loudly defending their constitutional rights to bleed to death out on the streets because they forgot to pay their insurance fees last month.

Every modern civilized country has a basic universal health care system to cover basic needs and ensure no member of society needs to fear not getting medical treatment if he really needs it. Except the US. And they're very vocal about not wanting none of that hippie bullcrap.

toyota4x4 · March 18th, 2010, 17:09

There gonna bypass a direct vote from the senate after and if the house passes the bill. There thinking is the house isnt actually voting on a "new" bil just ammendments to the original one the senate already voted yes to. Now under the constitution that cant happen, a bill must pass house then senate up and down votes to actually become law. So its sleezy in my book, espicially something of this caliber. There doing it because at this moment they wouldnt have the neccesary yes votes in the senate so there working around it.

JasonA · March 19th, 2010, 00:11

I see there was some negative comments on a news post of mine...all posted within 5 mins - deffo started by 1 guy, who then got his mates to come along. All comments are started & over in 5 mins.

Explained myself & closed comments form , because sheep mentality behaviour kicking in...
Think one guy must have thought Joystiq created the image - it was a Microsoft Created screen shot taken from a manual. And at the moment, it could be crap since I think this is more about Dev kits than retail...

_Chris_ · March 19th, 2010, 00:28

Plus, i just been looking around, shit loads of sites have that image. Noone is bitching there, something fishy be going on here boys.

JasonA · March 19th, 2010, 00:55
