[twitter-dev] Re: Suspended Account - Need Help!!!
Someone on a tread once said, "Do you want free business advice: don't revolve you business plan around twitter." Twitter is free. I'm happy to trade small downtime/performance for something free. That's my 2-cents. - @robertbanh On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Duane Roelands wrote: > > " what is more concerning is that it appears > that Twitter just blanketly suspended several of our accounts and our > users accounts that had any tweets posted recently from our > application." > > Is it possible that these customers of yours had their accounts > suspended for activity that had nothing to do with your application? > The fact that they are your users doesn't mean that they are -only- > your users.

[twitter-dev] Re: Cannot get followers past page 101 on the Api?
Sounds like twitter may have implemented a checker for that DoS attacked. Something like, if the server gets hit by the same IP after 500 continuous call within 3 minutes... it will return null for the next 10 mins? I'm just guessing here.

[twitter-dev] Re: If my site was being rate limited, would I get this error? "Error #110: Connection timed out"
You can call this command and check your rate limit: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-account%C2%A0rate_limit_status But mainly it's a common problem. It'll clear up in a few hours. I recommend caching if you want it to work 100% of the time.
