Update: Apparently Twitter has decided to wake up and send out yesterday’s notifications tonight. Sorry about that folks and thanks to everyone who sent in support tickets to them.

Thousands of people are enrolled in text message notifications from Twitter whenever a new DansDeals.com post is published.
Twitter notifications for @DansDeals have gone AWOL today (please write to Twitter support to ask them to fix the issue), but you can still signup for email notifications of new DansDeals.com posts until Twitter notifications are working again.
A DansDeals Forums account is required. Click here to register for a free DDF account.
Once you are registered and logged in you can just go to this DansDeals Forum thread and click the Notify button as shown below:
You’ll get an email whenever a new post on DansDeals.com is published.
Want to turn it off? That’s easy too. Just go back to that same thread and click Unnotify which will have taken the place of the notify button.
If you have any questions just make a comment here.
@dan followed directions to sign up for emails via DDF forum Thurs AM, confirmed, but still no email alerts yet, despite several new deals ??
Cool that’s awesome
I called my contacts in Twitter they just Fixed it
not getting text messages@Dan:
@garycrest:
The Twitter issue was fixed and there was not enough demand to keep the email notification thread going.
Signed on yesterday but have not been getting the email notifications
Sola, I have never seen that issue, but I don’t like how often the texts will say something like “20% of at http://t.co/JgkxxRf28” where I can’t see the store name without clicking through. I hope this is not intentional…
Dan when can we expect an App?
On a related issue, the link that comes in the Twitter notification is often incomplete or leads to a dead end, like this http://t.co/JgkxxRf28
Twitter app notifications are working fine.
Are the notifications not coming in through the app as well? Or is it just text message?
mine is back up…
lol when i posted that i was post number 9 but i guess it takes a minute or two to get approved…i promise im not one of those people that posts the same thing that 20 other people posted already 🙂
I hear, why dont you have a donut?
I would definitely prefer the email. Can you though include in the email what the post is about?
thx
I think they’re back up. I just got this one and the one about the Freedom increased signup bonus ending.
I just got the last posting via Twitter sms notification.
FYI…i just got a twitter notification
I’m getting SMS notification for DD twitter posts
Only effecting dans deals
I just got this tweet now
I just received this notification by text?!
Just got a Twitter notification for only this post now.
Ironically, this was the first Twitter alert I got today
I just got the Twitter notification for this post. Not the SMS one but the Twitter app notification.
I am not getting the twitter sms notifications, any ideas?
Good morning… i just realized i haven’t got any DD text’s… how come only DD is down?
@ben I hope Dan didn’t post any deals for the Kim Jong Un movie…;)
for some reason it seems like it is affecting specifically @dansdeals as I am receiving tweets from other places perfectly fine….
Actually, forget it. Without getting info about the post it’s not as good as the sms.
@Flying Dag:
If enough people want it I’d consider it.
Dan, any chance on you continuing to do this forum posting in the future? I find it more convenient than the twitter feed.
Thanks.
