Make sure the cable is inserted into the Twine all the way. This has tripped up a few people. If that doesn't work, take a look at Tom Denver's post in this thread:

I have to agree. This still feels like alpha quality even though the delivery date was March 2012 (9 months ago). There are around 3,900 backers. It seems highly inefficient to have all of us discover the same (known?) problems. I know Dave and …
I wish this was possible, but unfortunately it isn't. Each board connected to twine has a unique id. You need to use the breakout board.

It is micros USB. All my micro USB cables and chargers work on it. Are you perhaps confusing it with mini-USB?

Wow, it looks like the updates are being done by request only. I've been told I'll get my update later today. I wonder why the updates are being done this way (by request), and not just pushed to all Twines?

Add the "LED - let there be light" rule to your rules. That way you'll be able to tell if the change was detected or if the problem was in sending the email.
Here's more information:
Connect the Twine breakout board to your Twine's external sensor port and instantly get the ability to measure anything with your own analog or digital input. Each breakout board has a unique ID so your sensor's name and se…
You may be able to do this already. From Ryan Maule:
"Next go make a new Temperature rule that triggers when the Temp rises above 0 degrees, triggers after 0 seconds, and resets after 60 seconds (if you want an update every 60 seconds)."

When I monitor the web site, it looks like my Twine is updating every 45 seconds or so. I have a rule that runs when the orientation is changes to "top". I have the rule turn the LED on (this is great for troubleshooting) and send me an email.
…
I see changes in orientation in less than 5 seconds on the web site, and an email notification a few seconds after that.
When you define your rules, have the LED shine when your rule activates. You can then look at the Twine and change its orient…
