TrueTwit.com - Validation Service for Twitter

We have been experiencing several issues with Twitter today. We have notified them of the problem, but at this point, we have no idea when this might be resolved.

We will keep you posted. Thank you for your patience.

We are happy to report that Apple has approved the release of TrueTwit for iPhone.  This application can be found at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/truetwit-for-iphone/id389794057?mt=8

TrueTwit for iPhone helps you to manage your Twitter followers using TrueTwit while on the go.  It is free (ad supported) so go check it out!

TrueTwit will be down for a bit this evening for a little bit o’ database performance tuning.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience but oh boy when we’re done!

UPDATE: All set. Good to go.

TrueTwit will be down periodically today for upgrades and site maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Twitter is having more trouble today, which basically means that no one will be able to sign up for TrueTwit until they fix whatever issue they’re having now.

We’ll be monitoring the situation, and will keep you posted.

Sigh.

UPDATE: As of 9:40PM, US Central, Twitter is still trying to fix this. No idea when they’ll get it done. Again, our apologies.

UPDATED UPDATE: As of 1:00AM this morning (the 20th), it looks like Twitter figured out what the problem was. Everything should be back to normal, or some reasonable semblance thereof.

This morning at around 3:45AM, US Central, the SSL certificate Twitter was using for authentication appears to have expired. As far as our servers were concerned, this changed Twitter from a trusted to an untrusted connection, and for security purposes, they refused to connect.

We have notified Twitter of the problem, and have implemented a temporary fix until this is corrected.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

TrueTwit had some technical issues today which kept us off the air for a few hours. The issue has been addressed, so all’s back to normal.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It appears Twitter has been having issues this morning, at least since around 9:00, US Central. Until they work out whatever is causing all the “Twitter is over capacity.” messages, several operations on True Twit will not be available.

UPDATE (12:15PM, US Central): The troubles continue.

UPDATE TWO (3:15PM, US Central): Twitter appears to be much better now.

Folks,

We are deploying a new version of TrueTwit today.  This version will resolve the issues caused by Twitter’s API bug from Wednesday.  Since we have to do a deploy and take some downtime, we figured, what the heck, we are going to release some new features for TrueTwit Premium users.  Here is the skinny on the new stuff.

• You can now subscribe to TrueTwit Premium using Paypal and Google checkout.
• We have a new Premium subscriber dashboard with cool dials showing rankings and follower trends for your Twitter account.
• Premium subscribers can now see retweets in the Premium Dashboard
• Premium subscribers have see what other people are saying about them in the Buzz section of the Premium dashboard.

Check it out and tell us what you think!
