TheGlassLog: #Glassware review: Twitter for #Glass needs work: UPDATED

[caption id="attachment_13117196131" align="alignright" width="300"]So, yeah, for some reason, when I have the Twitter service for Glass enabled, I get Tweets posted by just a handful of people. For some stranger reason, most of the tweets I get are from British comic book writer Warren Ellis.  Having his Tweets delivered to my eyeball can be a mixed blessing. >_< So, yeah, for some reason, when I have the Twitter service for Glass enabled, I get Tweets posted by just a handful of people.

So, there are two Twitter services* for Glass. One is officially sanctioned and visible on each Glass-user's myglass page on Google. Then, there is an unofficial service you can use called "Social Sharing for Glass" from Jon Gottfried. Though, I think it used to be called "GlassTweet" but was changed due to Google demanding no one use "Glass" in the title of their product. Regardless, neither Gottfried's nor the officially sanctioned service work very well. This may not be the fault of the devs, but the limitations of the current Glass OS. I'm coming at this from a user's perspective, so I can't comment on what is definitely going on behind the scenes.*
