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
Please contact the mentioned services directly regarding any questions as I am not affiliated with them in any way.

SMS updates are not instantaneous

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 are likely to update on the move without Internet. By the time they have access to Internet, the update would have reached your profile.

Appreciate your understanding & patience. Thank you.

Help little Charmaine battle her cancer!

3yr old Charmaine has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma (cancer) & needs your help. When I first learnt of her plight, little was known to directly help Charmaine. It is heartening to know that there are still on-going efforts to raise funds for her.

I am not in any way affiliated with Bak2U, but I believe this is a sincere & worthy effort as 100% of sales proceeds will go into funding Charmaine’s expensive ($350,000 USD) overseas treatment.

In case, you have concerns with the legitimacy of this effort: Bak2U is a innovative local brand with proven technology used by users all over the world to protect devices & laptops. It was founded by Mr Paddy Tan (twitter link), who is also the Honorary Secretary of Singapore Mobile Alliance.

This is a win-win arrangement; help Charmaine & protect your investments at the same time! Visit http://bak2u.com/singapore.php

Please help spread the word through your own blogs, facebook, twitter & other online social media!
