We've just pushed out a few updates to Google+ to Twitter sharing tool http://manageflitter.com/plus
- Better formatting to optimise for the 140 character limit. A single character is used for "…" instead of the original 3 dots.
- Better link sharing. Links are no longer wrapper in the Google link shortener and are sent raw to Twitter. This means that the original link will appear in your Twitter stream as Twitter will shorten it using the t.co wrapper. Another benefit is that links to supported media sites like YouTube will also now correctly show in your stream.
- Full support for Google+ pages. Just use your Google+ page url instead of a standard account url.
- ManageFlitter Pro accounts connected to Google+ are now updated much faster. Your posts will appear on Twitter within 2 minutes.
Don't forget, you can also ...

We released new pricing plans yesterday for users who wish to manage more than one twitter account from their ManageFlitter account.
Some of you already have multiple ManageFlitter accounts for your different twitter accounts.
You can now consolidate these accounts into one account:
- Choose one of your accounts to be the "master account" and log into ManageFlitter with this account.
- Upgrade your account so you can connect more accounts.
- Connect your additional accounts. You will be prompted to cancel the payments on the accounts you are connecting so you won't be billed twice.
- You will now be able to log in to all of your connected accounts via your ManageFlitter account.
If you have any issues please email us at contact@manageflitter....

Early today we launched our new pricing packages which can be seen at:
We always get excited when we launch something new and someone buys it for the first time.
Very soon (5 minutes or so) after we launched our new plans we had a purchase of the $24 Pro "Parakeet" account.
We thought we would find out more about this purchaser and chatted to her by live chat and asked her a few questions.

One of our core values at 89n is maintaining an awareness for the world around us. We believe in conscious capitialism.
The team at 89n all have a passion for trying to make the world a better place and whilst we are a commercial for profit business we always try to remain open to contributing to good causes.
Up until now we have offered ManageFlitter Pro users the option of their second month free if they sign up and send out a tweet about us.
This has been a popular choice and helps our users save on a month's subscription and helps us get the word out about ManageFlitter.
We have decided to change this slightly, so that...

By far the most requested feature has been the ability to buy more than 1 account at a time and manage multiple accounts from within your ManageFlitter account.
We are pleased to announce that very soon we will be launching ManageFlitter packages with volume discounts for:
- 5 accounts
- 20 accounts
- 50 accounts
1 account will remain at $12 per month.

Is Google+ losing its momentum?
Our data indicates that the average number of public Google+ posts per day has decreased from 0.68 public posts per day between 19 July 2011 and 19 August 2011 to 0.40 public posts per day between 19 August 2011 and 14 September 2011.
This represents a decrease of 41%!
A time series of the average number of public Google+ posts per user that uses ManageFlitter to integrate their Google+ account with their Twitter account can be seen below:
In July ManageFlitter started offering users the option of integrating their Google+ accounts with...

Based on your feedback, we've just pushed out a few improvements to our Google+ To Twitter tool which sends your Google+ updates to Twitter. These updates include;
- More frequent checks - your G+ updates will appear on Twitter even faster
- More intelligent tweet formatting - no more posts with just links in them
- Better protection for duplicate tweets - no more reposts when you delete a post on Plus
- Posts are now always tweeted in the order which you posted them to Google+
- Posting with the #twt works correctly again
Please let us know if you have any more suggestions for future changes in the comments below!

A small subset of ManageFlitter users are currently experiencing issues with logging in and general time-out issues when connecting ManageFlitter to your Twitter account. We are aware of this problem and have been working around the clock on a solution. The sheer volume of people using the system is affecting its usability. We are doing our best to scale up and fix these issues. In the past week we have added 8 new front end servers and improved the throughput on our request queue (unfollows being sent to Twitter) by 10x. We are now re-writing various parts of the MF structure to get everything under control and put in redundancy for future scaling problems. Of course the process of doing this while not affecting our current users too much is a delicate operation. Kind of like doing work on four lanes of a six-lane freeway; there's going to be traffic affected. Please bear with us while we work towards a solution. Not every account will be trouble-free, but the majority of you...
