All right, given Adam Lasnik's recent reply to this thread, I think there should be at least a post on Twhirl Status about the problem, so users know functions that were switched to POST-only will not work until Twhirl is updated. The yellow box was added to keep users apprised of what is happening in the Twhirl-iverse, so please use it, Seesmic peeps.

Yep. I think it's the same cause, just a difference in the manifestation of the problem. I'm going to make another point in a minute, as a new reply. – Voyagerfan5761, on September 06, 2008 03:14

Hi Ewen, thanks for dropping in to add that info. And, it's true, they changed a few things that broke the current version of twhirl. We have a fix on the way. It will come as an update in twhirl, and I will update this tread as well once it goes live. – Thomas Knoll, on August 28, 2008 23:42

an ON for the next 30-60 mins would be pretty cool. i'm at work all day on twitter, so it would be good to be able to turn notifications on when i head out for lunch etc..
also would be good if i could have more than one time set. so far, no one else has got this. eg, off between sleep and wake up, and off between start and end of work. or maybe just be able to turn off my replies / tracking while i'm at work..
yonderboy started following the idea "Sleep options" in Tweet2SMS.

Sorry for being late to this party. I will still chime in, however.
I do not know why everyone is so up in arms over this "JM Coon" person. He is somebody who is using scripts to increase his Twitter following. Some people do care, some people do not care.
I for one, do not care, sort of. More power to anyone who wants to rise above being average and become extraordinary. People are making assumptions or speculating without the necessary information. We do not know for sure who this "JM Coon" is. Some people claim he is and old man, some people say he is 14. This is the Internet, and people lie all the time to cover up their motives. I really do not care who he is. He is not important to me.
The part I do care about, however, is his use of scripts to try increase his following on Twitter. If you post crap, people more than likely will not read it. As others have stated, it is the content you post which will gain you a following, unless you are famous of course. When his scripts start to interfere with the normal functioning of the service Twitter is offering by increasing the load of those services, that is what I have an issue with. It ruins the Twitter experience for everyone when he, and those like him pull such stunts.
So in a sense, I kind of care but I really do not care. As long as I get to talk to my friends on Twitter, and they get to talk to me, I am happy. When the service starts to go all bonkers though, because some idiot is so starved for attention in real life, that they have to come online to get it, then I do have a serious problem. Remember MySpace? Remember the trouble some people went through to get friends. They purchased those programs that sit there and send out invites, and then MySpace had to step in and put limits on the amount of people users could invite in a day.
I think ultimately, if users such as "JM Coon" continue to abuse the service, then he should be banned for good. Twitter also needs to incorporate features into their service that can detect this type of abuse to prevent it in the future. They thus far, have done a great job with the service, although I am not really too happy that it has taken them this long to get it back to being stable.
So there - that's my two cents on this "JM Coon" issue. :) Have a great morning, noon, afternoon, or night.

I'm having the same problem! I just installed Twhirl yesterday and I saw the updates/tweets of one of the people I was following. But when I opened it today it opened up two twhirl windows and neither of them show any tweets. Also, I updated it and have the 8.3 version and have adobe air. I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it'd be rather cool to get it fixed.
At the bottom of the box it also says "limit exceeded, paused 5 min"...
