It appears that Twitter is still experiencing some issues with some API calls. UberTwitter is still not returning any data on my BlackBerry, and my news aggregators that post to Twitter using TweetSharp are returning nothing via the response. I would take a guess that these issues are related to the DDoS attacks yesterday. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon. Anyone else having issues with the Twitter API?
Yeah it’s a shame poor twitter, seemingly buckling under the load, it’s quite a common issue I think, I don’t envy the guys that work for a project that has to scale so damn quickly, if you weren’t building something to scale like that from the start it’d be a real challenge to catch up. At least it’s a fairly simple application I suppose which is likely why it stands up better than FB and MySpace for the most part.
