Hi All,
Forgive this random spammy shoutout - but I work for TweetDeck (a real-time web client offering), and we're happy users of Twisted for our backend. More specifically we use it to handle our account signups and syncing of client information.
So...if you're a twitter or facebook user and ever thought about organizing tweets maybe check it out? Just to let you know - it's available in two client favours, one for iPhone and one a cross-platform Adobe AIR client.
Ok, that's all ;-)
Thanks, Reza

As a matter of fact I already use TweetDeck! I'm happy to hear it uses Twisted :).
If you're happy users, perhaps you'd like to consider becoming a sponsor? The minimum contribution is pretty modest ($500).
Or, if you don't have the resources for that, perhaps you could just write a blurb for http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories ?
Thanks!
Hi Glyph,

That's great news!

I will definitely push for this. I've contributed financially on a personal level, though it's been a modest amount.

I'll do that as well! Shall I just post the blurb to the list, or email you personally?
Thanks, Reza

Don't get too excited. Now I know I can blame you when it breaks! ;-)

Ah, I knew I'd seen your name somewhere else recently :). Thanks for that, too; we should probably get better about honoring individual contributors.

Go ahead and post it to the list.

No worries. Fee free to ping me directly if you have any problems with it.

Ok, here's our Success Story blurb:
== TweetDeck (http://www.tweetdeck.com) aims to build a browser for the real-time web. Right now we're the biggest Twitter client after the website itself, and are rolling out full integration with Facebook and other services. With TweetDeck you can organize real-time streams of information into a convenient grid format that allows easy digestion.
We use Twisted to power our backend services, specifically our new accounts system and sync functionality we introduced recently (http://tweetdeck.com/beta/features/take-tweetdeck-with-you/). We've deployed our Twisted services over the Amazon cloud - specifically, we use EC2 and SimpleDB. Writing a REST api service used by hundreds of thousands active users was a snap with Twisted. We'll continue to use Twisted as we broaden our server-side processing goals.

Feature request: Let me make regex filters for tweets. Ie. so I can filter off when people decide it's a good idea to tweet the football score every 5 minutes.
Actually, Open Source the damn thing so I can do it myself ;-)
