Twitter offers SMS access in quite a few countries. - Many people make extensive use of Twitter via a desktop client such as Tweetdeck and find it very easy to pop into and fire off an expense. In any case, we're very much committed to the Twitter interface and will make sure it becomes available to new users again soon. Adam, fair points, but there a few things to consider:

While I'm a fan of using micro-blogging for productivity purposes, using Twitter to update an expense is an additional unnecessary step in the process. If you send a direct message to Twitter via "d xpn...", it has to be sent to Twitter by a variety of remote methods. The most common being SMS text. Why not just send an SMS directly to Xpenser? Many productivity services offer several remote communication options including direct SMS, Email, Instant Messenger, Voice, etc. Twitter is sometimes just one additional option which may require an additional unnecessary step. However, some users may opt to go through Twitter because they like to. Due to both Twitter's additional step, as well as reliability concerns, it is unnecessary to use the Twitter option when using services like Xpenser, GoPingMe, Google Calendar, etc. I’ve been using Xpenser for quite some time now and I like the way entries may be updated via text, email, IM (including AIM, Yahoo!, Gtalk, MSN, etc.), Voice (via Dial2do), and even Twitter.

The issue is the number of users we're following, not the number of people following us. We have to follow each user so they can send us direct messages (thereby submitting their expenses). That's what Twitter limits. Hopefully we can get them to remove the limit for us and resolve this quickly. Hugh, please don’t stop following.
