We announced our new Name Search product today! One note: if you update your profile information, it may take several hours for the new data to be reflected in Name Search.
We are also having a deliverability problem to Yahoo email addresses. We’re trying to get this resolved.
Update: The Yahoo mail problem has now been resolved.
Some users are unable to post from the web site due to a bug introduced on Friday. This problem does not occur in all browsers (FF 3.0.x still works but not 3.1, for example).
We’ll be pushing out a fix for this as quickly as we can.
Update: This was fixed yesterday.
Folks aren’t seeing as many updates as they should due to a replication problem. We are working on it now.
Update: This should now be fixed. If you are still seeing problems, please let us know.
Seeing some broken layout on twitter.com? This is an bug in a deploy we’re doing and we’re working to clean it up right now.
You may see some error pages as we restart machines to recover.
Update: This has been fixed.
We are experiencing SMS delivery problems across carriers and we’re working to figure out why.
Also: we’ll be releasing a change later this afternoon that will start removing deleted and suspended users from your list of followers. As this hasn’t been cleaned up previously, you may notice your follower counts go down. This is to be expected.
Update: We resolved a problem whereby folks were only getting updates from those whom they were following back. Also: on the decreased followers, this will not happen all at once but over time.
Users who had recently deleted themselves were running into an issue where their accounts appeared suspended after deletion. This was unintentional.
We have disabled user deletion as we work through this issue.
The Facebook application is currently offline and we’ll be working to bring it back.
Earlier today, we experienced long delays on all outbound email including password resets and direct message mails. We have now resolved this problem.
About 16% of search requests are returning results that are 16 hours old. This can also cause refresh counts in the UI not appear. We’re currently working on the issue and will update once we have more information.
Update (9:30a): The problem has been resolved.
We learned a lot about real-time events from building our Election site. Tomorrow - one month after the conclusion of the US elections - we’ll be turning off election.twitter.com. We’re already applying the lessons learned to other product ideas and new ways of combine search and Twitter.
Thanks to everyone for making Elections a huge success for us. We’re glad you enjoyed it as much as we did.
