Update with Twitter?
Hi there! I just signed in for this service, and one thing that seems to be missing, although mentioned once in your upcoming features page and in a thread in August 2010 is twitter integration via direct messages (DM).
The thing is, I've been using Remember The Milk, and the one thing that interested me with NirvanaHQ over RTM was that NirvanaHQ has what appears to be a better approach to projects -- RTM's potential solution feels kludgey. Sadly, I am a dumbphone user, so I would have found updates via Twitter (using the SMS service) invaluable in getting everything written down.
I was wondering whether NirvanaHQ would be including that feature any time soon, or if there are any concrete plans to do so. If there was, I may actually migrate from to NirvanaHQ in a flash.
Thanks!

I know that Twitter integration is in the works but we don't know when. Nirvana Staff has just been expanded and development is supposed to ramp up.
I think Twitter integration is very useful. I have an iPhone so it's not so much a big deal to me, but I can see where many people would benefit from it.
I also think standard SMS to inbox would be a great feature.

@Proximo: Actually, direct SMS integration would be far less useful to me, because I suspect the first countries that would be included in the SMS service would probably not include Malaysia, where I'm from.
I've managed to find a service that allows me to send my tweets to Twitter from SMS here in Kuala Lumpur, and I'm using it with a couple of twitter-based services, which include RTM and xpenser.
And yeah, all of this would kind of be moot when I'd get a smartphone, but I'm putting up a little bit of resistance until my current contract expires. That's not gonna happen any time soon, but probably later this year.

@Tariq,
I forget that things work differently around the world and I completely understand you holding out for a smartphone until your contract is over.
Twitter is very popular and I still think the idea is great. I was only adding SMS as an additional method for getting things out of your mind and into your inbox.
I can't wait for a native app on iPhone and Android. :-)
