Twitter API causing technical difficulties

dave — Thu, 06 May 2010 13:31:51 +0000

TrueTwit is experiencing technical difficulties due to a bug in the Twitter API. This bug is affecting TrueTwit’s ability to access Twitter to obtain follower lists. We are not the only site affected – apparently the bug is breaking other applications. Those who are interested in technical details can follow the fun on the Twitter Development Forum posting.

This bug unfortunately means that new users can not sign up for TrueTwit. Judging from the entries on the Twitter Development Forum, a fix should be made shortly. We will keep you posted on further developments.

TrueTwit Outage

TrueTwit was down from 1:25am to 6:25am US Central time due to a resource issue. The outage wasn’t noticed immediately because of a system monitoring notification problem. Sorry folks!

Thanks for your patience during the upgrade.

Resolved: Temporary Problem Syncing With Twitter

Twitter has fixed the problems affecting their API allowing TrueTwit to start removing followers that are suspended or that you blocked. We are glad this is back, as you probably are too!

Temporary Problem Syncing With Twitter

mike — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 23:29:13 +0000

Just a quick note to let you know that TrueTwit has a mechanism in place to synch your followers’ list up with Twitter, but from what we understand, Twitter did a bit of redesigning early Saturday morning, and since then, they have been experiencing a few minor issues.
Because of this, we dialed this down. Because of that, you may notice people you have unfollowed or blocked still showing up in your TrueTwit list. As soon as Twitter lets us know things stabilized (which should be very soon), we will switch our follower synching back on.

TrueTwit is back up!

We have finished moving TrueTwit to its new home.

TrueTwit will be unavailable parts of today

We are excited to be moving TrueTwit to a new platform. We will let you know when the move is complete. Thanks for your understanding!

All Back In Order

Hi TrueTwitterers,

If you didn’t notice the “maintenance mode” page today, we had a little server hiccup that made everybody’s life more interesting. It looks like a squirrel made a nest in our database server over the summer, and we didn’t notice until now. No really, we had a database go corrupt on us and we had to restore everything from backups and log files.

For the most part, everything is in order. We got almost all of the users reconfigured, with a few exceptions for some users that signed up in the last 24 hours. For those that need to recreate their accounts, we apologize. All you will need to do is recreate your TrueTwit account and all will be back to normal.

Again, we hope that doesn’t happen twice, and are glad that this happened now with the service being so new, rather than later down the road.

If you have any issues that need to be resolved with your account, please send us an email to: info at truetwit dot com, or send us a message at our Twitter profile @GoTrueTwit.

Stay True!
