further update on twitter API issues
This is an update on a previous company update describing in some detail the problems caused by the twitter API issues since yesterday. If you haven't read it already, please read it first: http://getsatisfaction.com/twitterfee...
In the meantime twitter have posted an update on the developers mailing list - you can see the post here: http://groups.google.com/group/twitte...
As far as twitterfeed is concerned, the only point of relevance is twitter's suggestion that applications throttle back their requests. While I'm not convinced this will make a difference given twitterfeed's size, I have changed our feed processing to check for new items at most every 2 hours, regardless of the actual feed settings.
As no posts are going through at the moment anyway there's nothing to lose, and with a bit of luck, depending on how twitter's response to the DDoS actually works, it may make a positive difference, although I really can't promise anything at all.

Inappropriate?Good update - it is great that things are progressing. However, in certain cases 2 hours can be a long time. For instance a road incident could well be done and dusted, Therefore the information is no longer of use!
I am only hoping the 2 hour restriction is a temporary one.
Meanwhile I need to find another solution.
Once again thanks for the update and all that you are doing, it is much appreciated.
I’m anxious

Inappropriate?Good news tweets from twitterfeed coming in - looking forward to seeing our posts!
I’m unsure
-
Inappropriate?Our feeds are coming in now as well. Thanks for keeping us updated - that was teh awesom.
I’m happy
-
Inappropriate?Yes, it looks like some posts are getting through now - I'll keep the "once every 2 hours" limit in place for the near future though, and will revert back to the previous intervals once we have an all-clear from twitter.
-
Inappropriate?Is the interval set only for feeds posting to Twitter or for all (Identi.ca, Laconi.ca, Ping.fm, etc.)?2 Comments

It's for everything, as the processing currently isn't setup separately for the different services. Once we have the ok from twitter that it's safe to switch back to more frequent updates we'll revert back to the default setup. -
OK, was just curious. I don't post often enough on any of my feeds to make it matter. :) Thanks.
-
Inappropriate?Even better news - our tweets are starting to come through. That is two for now. Far better than none!
I’m Still unsure but getting better
-
Inappropriate?Now four posts have come through. To quote a song, it is getting better all the time! Still waiting for the rest of the tweets!
I’m Still unsure but getting better all the time!

Inappropriate?I have zero of my feeds being tweeted. Still waiting for them to get tweeted. Even though I saw a bunch being tweeted from others.1 Comment Add a comment

It may take a couple of hours, always assuming that the twitter API stays up..
-
Inappropriate?OK the feeds are coming through fast and furious. That is great! Thanks and every two hours will do for now!
I’m thankful
-
Inappropriate?Finally does anyone any ideas on how I can resolve the road incidents issue, apart from not going to bed!
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?Switching over to Ping.fm helped to get some of them to start tweeting. I will use Ping.fm from now on.
-
Inappropriate?Thank you for the update. Also throttling down in August. That said, I have two posts ranging from 24 to 12 hrs old and they have not been fed. -
Inappropriate?No tweets going through at all - I can see the stats in tr.im -- all zeros on the links :(
I’m sad
-
Inappropriate?Does this throttling also apply to feeds set to post to other services, like HelloTxt?

I’m undecided
