Twitter Network Problems
Submitted by dsimmer on Fri, 05/02/2008 - 03:10For those of you Twitter users out there, I imagine that you've been having spotty network problems all night. Turns out that they know about it and posted a short blog post about it here:
For those of you who have spotted intermittent errors tonight, we're working on it. We restarted a database that normally restarts very quickly without resulting in any site degradation. Tonight, that routine changed—it's taking a long time to restart which is causing intermittent 500 errors for some web visitors. We're bringing it up to speed now.
The errors seem to pop up when you try to visit a profile page (ex. my Twitter profile) versus the main Twitter page.
And for those of you unfamiliar with what Twitter is, just know that it is a 140-character max way of constantly answering the question, "what are you doing right now?"
Turns Out that These Are the Droids We're Looking For
Submitted by dsimmer on Fri, 11/30/2007 - 16:29I've been looking for an application that would sync my Twitter status and my Facebook status easily. Instead I've had lots of little go-betweens, from Twitter pulling my Facebook status and back and forth. I just ended up with lots of stupid duplications, etc. Until now. I found the droid I was looking for.
It's a Facebook application called TwitterSync and is available here (Facebook login required, I think). For those of you that use both services, it is a logical solution. Check it out. And give props to the guy who built it too.
Twittering
Submitted by dsimmer on Sat, 09/08/2007 - 02:36I wanted to pass along a note that I will be using Twitter regularly to give brief updates as to my whereabouts, goings-on, and other such ramblings. Why not, right?
My Twitter page is available here, with updates also posted on my Facebook page as well as the site here.
