Please, please, please can you get your service working again. It is a great idea, but I am sick of looking at the same list every time I log in.

Is there a "Ms. Tweet" in the future? It would be cool to grow a women's network on Twitter, too..*man*. <grin>

I got my list right away -- it was impressive. Not surprisingly -- Wil Weaton was on it. Zappos (dude he's everywhere) and many more -- I'd be curious how some of the folks relate, because it appears they are followed by others I follow... because they are cute, or well known... but I'm curious. Amazing work in any case, data mining at it's finest. Now, how do I get people to listen to my free music :)

I must have been lucky to hear about you when you first started a couple weeks ago because I only had to wait a couple of hours. I look forward to gettting updates to my list but I understand you want to take care of 1st timers before we head back for seconds.

I actually didn't have a lot of Internet celebrities on my list but I found the second part, about people who were following me who I wasn't following to be the most valuable. I don't always look closely at new follower notifications (since some people follow & then unfollow) so it was helpful to see who I had missed following back.

I'd love to know how you match up the first category, people one "should be following". Compatibility is so complicated and I think a lot of people here are asking for very specific matchups. With millions of Twitterers and a deactivated People Search on Twitter (boo!), I don't know what you use as a basis (bios? people someone already follows?) to suggest new people to follow. I'd love to hear more about than if it isn't proprietary information.

Thanks again!

Good luck, guys! Good choice in going for stability over performance :)

I agree 100% that I want to follow people because they are interesting and I have lots to learn or have in common with them... Celebrity is not something I want or am looking for... but Interesting people I will follow anytime :-)
Anyway you are doing great!!

Keep up the good work Mr. Tweet!

Thank you Mr. Tweet. You apparently are working hard and not sleeping to bring the reports and data to the Tweeple!

You are appreciated. I just signed up and have gotten a ETA of 100 hours for my report. That is fine. I will wait. I look forward to the valuable insights Mr Tweet provides!

In Joy and gratitude!

Amy

I don't remember how long I waited for my report but I did find the information very valuable. I found like the statistics included in the reports as well as the people suggested.

I like following some of the "internet celebs" so to speak but my report didn't have that many and I don't mind clicking past a page or so to finding the information I want, after all I have a library science degree.

Thanks for offering this service.

Nice service and nice update, guys! It looks like most of the "if only it did this" things are in the works. (What I'd love is to be able to sort on the different fields).

Glad you started this blog!

Just a thought - Have you considered using getsatisfaction.com to help keep track of your requests and upcoming features?

It may not be a bad idea to give our actual names and bios. Mr. Tweet is a great name as far as it goes. But don't hide behind it.

I heard about you guys and followed you on Weds night 11/26 (oh, about 48 hours ago...) I'm looking forward to getting my report or getting an update!

@Ollie -> Thank you so much! And you are certainly right about the data part. Pretty hardcore.

@Mark -> Haha! Our first name is Santa, Santa Tweet. We try to do our best, and feedback has been core to us being able to improve the service continuously

@David -> Yes, the DM was suggested to us by our users

@Wayne -> Can you elaborate a little more about "socialtoo"?

@Ee-Yuing, @Vince, @Yu-yu, @brownoxford -> Thanks a lot for your understanding - much appreciated!

@Laura -> We actually do weight that, but I think it is great that you highlight it. Could certainly help a lot!

@Gail, Kris -> Glad the blog psoting helped

@T.S -> It is important for us to set expectations right, so 2 things here. (1) The 48 hours are for folks who sign up now. We had a huge influx over Tue/Wed, so the lag time would have been more than 48 hours. Slowly catching up! (2) We might not work that great for you, recommendations are hard to say. In the case of that happening, hope for your understanding and feedback!

@beachbum -> please DM us your username

@melody -> haha, thanks! We love SBGs. They are so important for bring small businesses into web awareness zone

@Mike -> Thanks! We now have so many different filters we need to build - No Alist, No rabid followers... ;)

@Jeremy ->Need to scale DB Writes. Any advice? hehe

@Martin -> Thanks for your understanding! Will be updating the wait time as we go along. :)

Great work on making something that people want!

From the comments above it shows that people are prepared to wait for something they know will be of value and use to them, all through word-of-mouth.

Bravo MrTweet, I, too, am waiting on tenterhooks for my report to be processed.

I feel ya on the lack of sleep i am in the middle of a successful launch of a 15 site/blog network so keep up with your juices, exercise and whatever you can do to release stress. I would disagree slightly with your time estimate i believe it to be more like a week which for the type of report that is offer for FREE is an ok wait time.

While I'm at about 72hrs wait time, if anyone understands scaling issues it's me ;-) g'luck guys, keep rawking :-)

I'm glad I got a report before it went south again. It was very useful.

Why not give us all the option of NOT INCLUDING the "Net celebs"? I have ZERO interest in the so-called "A-list."

I'm looking for writers and book publishers -- not technologists.

I look forward to report updates!

Happy holidays. Get some sleep too.

Nice tool in the making. I found it really cool to see and understand the influencers were following lil ole me! Mr Tweet, you make me love Twitter even more! Every coach, speaker & author should become a fan of Mr. Tweet!

Ive been waiting 2 weeks now. I guess mr. tweet has nothing to offer me.

It has been over 48 hours since I followed and my other twitter friends who followed at the same time got a DM for estimated time and their report 2 days ago. I followed on Mon. or Tues. and I think I just got over looked. I am so not trying to rush or seem impatient. I know you are soo busy. Please forgive if you are working on me and I will wait even longer too. I just don't want to miss out on the great info cause everyone says it is so awesome!!! Thank you for this blog and all that you do.

I've seen this service all over twitter. My question is if I sign up will it automatically send a message into my timeline like the ones I'm seeing everywhere?

Cool service and once a few more bloggeries are added I'll be adding it to the directory.

All the best,
Rob
