Twitter Mobile Device Setup

July 2nd, 2008 by Gregory Silvano Posted in Twitter | No Comments »

OK, I’m not a total idiot but am I missing something with setting up Twitter’s mobile device and IM account?

I sent an SMS confirmation code message to 40404 (via my Blackberry) and…nothing.

I added twitter@twitter.com to my Google Talk Buddies list and sent the verification code via IM, and…nothing.

I had Twitter scan my Gmail account and pull up 400 contacts.  14 were users of Twitter, so I checked those checkboxes and finished the import process, and…nothing.  They’re not set up as Friends in my account.

The Twitter setup process leaves a lot to be desired.  I’m a technical guy and I’m lost.  Just imagine the countless business folks who are trying to use Twitter but don’t even know where to begin.

I know Twitter wasn’t originally designed for anybody above the legal drinking age, but if they want to make some money they’re going to need to cater to the >30 crowd.
