Disconnect breaks Twitter searches in Seesmic Web

[Robert Norris]

Just a heads up. Seesmic Web is a web-based Twitter/Facebook/Buzz client/aggregator. With Disconnect enabled Facebook and the main Twitter stream work fine, but Twitter searches don't - the search spinner spins forever. I don't find this entirely unsurprising, and I don't think its a bug, but I thought I'd report it as it took me a couple of days to make the connection.

Just now I see that unblocking a service (in this case Twitter) does it everywhere - its not a site-by-site thing. That rather complicates things. Any plans to make per-site blocks?

Hey Robert, I'm really sorry about the excessively sluggish reply --
I'm finally catching up on mail after a bunch of traveling -- and
really appreciate your letting me know. This blocking action *is*
intended, but I wish I could make all such blocking more apparent. If
you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Not especially. ;-) Well originally, my thinking was per-site
exceptions would be too easy to forget and too hard to manage. But I
have some new UI in the works that addresses the easiness to forget,
so maybe I'll rethink adding a whitelist now.
