Twitter hiccups through a semi-outage

Posted by Jonathan Skillings

The Twitter community may not be paying much heed to your posts this weekend, but it’s not your fault.

The company behind the messaging service and Web 2.0 darling acknowledged late Saturday that some back-end changes had been failing to show tweets from a number of people. A post on the Twitter site from a person identified as “goldtoe, Official Rep,” had this to say:

This is a result of some of the caching changes we made during last night’s maintenance window. While those changes have made the service more stable over all, there have been some unintended effects. We’re aware of the problem and are working through it. It may take a bit to resolve but we are on it.
