We have a couple of database hickups. Don’t worry, we’ll be back soon! Stay tuned.

Update: We’re back online. All systems go.

Renato got interviewed by the lovely Viktoria at the Amazon Web Services event in Amsterdam after his keynote speech.

We’re happy to announce that you can now sync up your Brightkite and YouTube profiles with E. We presented these developments and more at yesterday’s Amazon Web Services event. We’re avid users over Brightkite and YouTube. Let us know if you encounter any problems with connecting in our Feedback! Stay tuned.

We’ve received a couple of remarks that Twitter integration with E wasn’t working from time to time. We just wanted to say that the problem was most likely caused by a change in Twitter’s API. Everything should be working fine again. Stay tuned for more updates.

Connect with E from Renato Valdés Olmos on Vimeo.

The autotweet function was something we implemented to test Twitter service integration. A lot of people liked to share their E usage over Twitter, but we decided to take it out after complaints. It might return as an option. Post your feature requests, feedback and rants to the Feedback pane in E or use Get Satisfaction!

There have been a few reports of people having problems receiving invites and validation on mac.com and me.com email addresses. We will investigate and solve this problem asap. You can always check if the mails are in your spam box, this has happened a few times.

Update:
We had contact with the international spam authority last night. Our server was listed in their spam list because we’re using dynamic IP’s. They now removed us from the list and so far I can see everything works fine now.

The number of errors we’ve been seeing is fairly low, but one of the most common problems is the login system. This is one of the first things we’ve written when we started developing E and is due for an update. For now you should be fine with retrying a few times. If not, drop us a line through the feedback system  and we’ll have a look at it. I’ll be rewriting the login system the following days (no idea yet on how much work this will be). I’ll write a new post with more information as soon as it’s online.

Update:
The login seems to be working fairly stable now, only cookies are still a problem. This will be solved when we finish our new login system somewhere in the near future.

We had some problems with the Twitter integration.
The first error warnings about this problem came in this morning.

About two hours ago we resolved the problem.
We just did a few test runs and we can assure you that it works again.
