It’s alot easier to start from scratch. Will stop writing here from now on. This place has attracted some interesting traffic & people.Sorry, writing “HOWTO” entries doesn’t mean I will give free technical consultancy or interested to work with people with no proven track record. Call me arrogant, but experience has taught me that the ...

Created a new logo and landing page. I know some of you will miss the blue birdie but I am sure many are wondering who exactly are the users of TweetSG. Hope to make this service more interesting & useful over time.
Thanks to a new partner who is keen to help expand TweetSG, I was able to host the system at his premise and add in another number. This system still remains as a non-commercial privately owned system. The old number still functions as per normal.I have also added re-trying feature so that your Twitter updates ...
Ars Technica covered a very nice detailed how-to to install SSL/TLS cert from StartSSL in OSX server. I shall not rehashed their steps to obtain the certificate. For me, I am keen to use StartSSL’s free Class 1 cert with Nginx server and it is not covered in their help/support pages.Notes on Generating CSRAssuming your ...
I can understand as a user, you are frustrated when a system fails you. Even if you were to update like “TweetSG, your system is fuck up or TweetSG U SUCK”, I respect that cause it’s your Twitter profile and you are entitled to write whatever you see deem fit.If you were to add @TweetSG ...
When my Mio bundle contract was about to expire, I wondered if I can have a new toy to replace my not-so-smart phone Samsung i600 (aka Blackjack). And since everyone is holding an iPhone these days, I thought why not try something else like an Android phone:Don’t get me wrong, iPhone like most Apple products, ...
I apologize for the long down-time between the mentioned dates. The SMS gateway is running again. Do inform fellow TweetSG users about this. Thank you.I understand some of you may have intense response/withdrawal symptoms when your update goes missing. Therefore, I have compiled a list of known similar service for your convenience (in no particular ...
Some of my critics will say that I am crazy to write about “competitors”, well, I don’t really care. I have not really written much about SGBeat, SMSYo and alike since most of them like TweetSG, will one day be limited by their resources. I still like idea of using SMS to update without incurring ...
Been busy spamming Twitter that I hardly blog these days. Then again, we had been busy with another important agenda; getting our own flat. After the renovation and settling in, we finally got a chance to get away to Bangkok over the weekend.Going overseas DIY style definitely gives more freedom when planning one’s itinerary. We ...
This is a good entry by a professional who is into the business of startups: http://blog.startupprofessionals.com/2009/03/startups-start-with-problem-not-idea.htmlIt was really a good reminder of what I would habitually love to do; think about ideas without clearly defining the problem. A business must address the important question: Will someone pay for the solution to the …
It’s a Game of NumbersThis is not the stock market chart showing before & after the financial crisis, this graph illustrates the effects of having a URL (http://tweet.sg) at the end of each SMS updates via TweetSG.TweetSG started off handling 72 messages/month in the beginning all the way to 197121 updates in July. The live ...
Thank you for considering TweetSG. Unfortunately the system can no longer take in more users without additional resources which I am not inclined to provide.Please consider http://sgbeat.com and http://smsyo.com
I saw quite a few well-meaning supporters summarized this saga into 140 characters but may have misreported this whole thing. This saga is not about you are a n00b or not a n00b. If I dislike n00b so much, why would I let the system to use for all in the first place?I interpret a ...
I seem deem fit how I should reply people on my Twitter profile. There are 3 types of people I encountered while running the system: 1) nice folks, 2) pesky users who don’t deserve and finally the busybodies.The analogy is that of a shelter, I created & maintain it, let you use, you come in ...
A single modem can no longer handle the incoming updates. There is little incentive to operate this system. This experiment has proven to be more of a burden than anything else.
If you are a blog-shop owner, online spree organizer or small-business owner, why not consider Twitter as another channel for your campaigns?Why advertise with TweetSG?@TweetSG has 6707 followers (at the time of writing this).With one post, your message will reach 6707 users’ timeline.These users are real people not bots. Most of them are young & ...
Dear users,Especially new users who are testing the system in front of their computers, please take note.As the system is facing high usage daily, it is about 6000 SMS per day, there will be a LAG (in terms of minutes) between sending & appearing in your Twitter profile. This lag is still acceptable since users ...
