Where are my tweets?
Every now and again, I get a tweet asking if lastfmlovetweet is working, or why don’t I see my loved tracks? Here are some things you can check:
1. Is lastfmlovetweet down? The easiest way to check is view the search results from twitter. They will show you the most recent lastfmlovetweets, and are usually updating every few minutes.
2. Are your loves tracks being recorded on lastfm? To determine if you have loved a track recently, I check the feed provided at this link: http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/user/pootytang/lovedtracks.rss To check your feed, copy that link and replace ‘pootytang’ with your lastfm username. The main reason your loved tracks wouldn’t show up is that lastfm only records the 1st time you love a track. Once you have loved the track, the next time you love it it won’t show up in your feed, and it wont generate a tweet.
3. Has your twitter password changed? If you have changed your twitter pasword, you need to re-sign up.
5. Have you angered the lastfmlovetweet genie? If you haven’t used lastfm in a month or more, it will take a little while (up to 4 hours) for the lastfm love bot to start checking your account. You can send an @ or dm to lastfm_love with the word ‘ping’ and the bot will start checking your account immediately.
