I can't get snitter to work anymore

I can't get snitter to work anymore. it's been cockahoop for at least a week. worked for months and months, but now it's dead. tried deleting the database earlier today, got some tweets immediately after, but no more for at least 12 hours from what is normally a very large, active group of twitterers. it's a real shame because everything else out there sucks dirty, filthy canal water.
