Can I update my current work status without sending direct messages to Twitter?
Yes.  When updating your project status just ensure that the option for "Send to Twitter" is left unchecked. Your status will be posted on the team profile but will not be sent to Twitter.


What is a protected update?
Protected updates allow Twitter users to limit who can view their updates.  Joint Contact has the ability to send Twitter project notifications, such as when documents are uploaded or when conversations are posted.  Because of the open nature of Twitter we recommend this option only be used when protected updates are enabled.  Click here to learn more about protected updates and Twitter.
