Great news! Only problem is, you mispelted "published." :)

That's me from the tweet under discussion here. Username on twitter is scottlo - http://twitter.com/scottlo

Strangely the tweet count is back where it should be.

Don't know whether it's causality or coincidence but I first noticed the tweet count number reset after I started playing here at twdsc.us. The issue seems to have righted itself since the latest entry here.

FWIW, I first noticed the odd tweet count on August 12/13 after making a post to twdsc. At that point the number was 8, I made a tweet to that effect on August 13.

My only reason for putting the current tweet under discussion (Who's Holding Donna Now?) was that it would have been the zero post counting back from the reset numbering that appeared on August 12. My comment in earlier entry here is factually not accurate in that I had not been aware of any reset tweet count prior to August 13 (I was extrapolating in reverse).

Sorry for any undo inconvenience or confusion.

True story:

I'd made a few thousand tweets over 2.5 years. Everything was right as rain until August 1st, 2009. That's when I made the seemingly harmless tweet currently under discussion. After that, my tweet count got reset to zero.

I wonder if there's an explanation for this. Perhaps it is punishment for linking to really lame audio.

Any theories or or insight as to what happened to the tweet count would be appreciated.

Dave, you propose a revolutionary idea!

More time is needed to listen to the podcast and consider what the "interests" are that user ownership of a technology company would work to serve.

Go figure, I just learned the word disintermediation yesterday while tracking down the following tweet from JD Long: http://twitter.com/CMastica...

It's simple enough I could almost figure out how to do.

can't you embed the mp3 in the twitter tweet somehow?

Might wanna hire a PR firm Mr. Winer. Maybe you could do a podcast to tell people about it. :)

Just joshing. I found about this via your blog and twitter. I'm not "tech" enough to grasp the implications. But I have a feeling this is gonna be a cool ride.

Keep up the good work!!
