Frequently Asked Questions
Registration
- When I visit the registration page for PeepNote, I can only enter an email address. How does PeepNote know my Twitter account information?
- Why was I only allowed to import 2500 of my Twitter friends? I follow many more than that.
- What if I have more than one Twitter username? Can PeepNote help me organize the people I follow with multiple Twitter usernames?
Twitter Importing
- After I register with PeepNote and synchronize my Twitter account information, I notice that the data for "Your Peeps" in PeepNote does not exactly match the data I see on Twitter for the number of followers, followings or favorites. Why?
- What does it mean that PeepNote imports and resyncs my Twitter peeps?
Organizing Peeps
In situations where you want to temporarily unfollow someone, maybe because they are twittering from a conference, sports event, etc, you can "pause" following them from PeepNote. PeepNote will unfollow them in Twitter, but mark them as paused within PeepNote to help assist you in remembering to unpause them later.

By clicking on the star next to a peep's avatar, you can mark a peep as a favorite. You can then use the Favorites filter at the top of the Peep listing to toggle showing favorites, non-favorites, or both.

Yes. With PeepNote you can tag and take notes on people even if you don't follow them. This way, you can remember someone you met, and remember important things about them, without having their tweets in your regular timeline. You can use the Find a User on Twitter field on the sidebar of your Peeps listing to find a Twitter user, and then add them without following them.

2500 is the limit for the free Basic Plan. To import more peeps you will need to upgrade to the Pro Plan, which at this time, is by invite only.

Yes! When you register with PeepNote, PeepNote will synchronize with whatever Twitter account you are currently logged into. If you register on PeepNote with one Twitter account and then want to organize Twitter followings for another Twitter account. Log out of PeepNote, visit Twitter to login to the other Twitter account, and then log back into PeepNote. PeepNote will then sync your Twitter information for the other Twitter account.

Twitter Importing
PeepNote uses Twitter's own API for synchronizing the data. We have reported that the Twitter API does not always pull in the most up-to-date Twitter account information. This appears to be due to some issue with Twitter's API - most likely a timing issue. Visit PeepNote and synchronize your Twitter data again in 24 hours, and the data should be updated.

When you first sign up for PeepNote, we import all those that you follow on Twitter. From that point on, you can at any time request a resync using the link in your sidebar. This directs PeepNote to reimport those you have since followed or unfollowed, and update the data for the rest. As well, if you have not done a resync in 10 days, it will be started automatically when you log in.

"Great work for a weekend. The best designed of the sites I’ve judged. Of the twitter based apps, definitely the best concept and functionality I judged."
