11. Request for tech help.

Mon Jan 9, 2017, 08:56 PM

Jan 2017

I tweeted thanks to about 25 delisted companies, but after that I kept getting told "Your message could not be sent." I got out and got in again and was able to launch another dozen or so tweets but then got the same message. Is it me?

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid attempting to thank a company you've already thanked. The order of companies seems random each time. Thoughts?
