I'm guessing that this specific problem has been resolved, based on this tweet from @meangrape:

@meangrape: B''H the plague of 500s is over for the night

@twitter_status:

The database is back up. We're checking to make sure everything is humming along -- but it looks good.

And also:

The database is up, but still having problems. We're working on that right now.

A comment on the problem "500 Internal Server Errors" in Twitter:

As a fellow system admin, I have to ask the question, but do you have failover hardware to move the database to? According to the @twitter_status tweet, you lost a DB server. While I completely understand that switching to failover hardware does take time, I'm just curious as to whether you do have it, or you are just trying to reconfigure the DB server cluster to work without it for the time being? – Belthesar, 11 days ago

We restarted a database that normally restarts very quickly without resulting in any site degradation. Tonight, it's taking a long time to restart which is causing intermittent 500 errors for some web visitors. We're bringing it up to speed now.

I am having the same problem. Picture is the correct size. I even tried just changing the background color and the saved settings do not hold.

This bookmarklet for posting URLs to Twitter is nice because it allows you to edit the message before sending. http://myopiclunacy.com/2007/11/06/mi...

As some folks noticed, we found a bug which caused delays for some SMS/IM notifications. The web and API were not affected. The bug is now fixed and we are catching up to real time right now.
