[twitter-dev] Re: Suspended Account - Need Help!!!

2009-08-20 Thread Robert Banh

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.

[twitter-dev] Re: Cannot get followers past page 101 on the Api?

2009-08-17 Thread Robert Banh

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"

2009-08-17 Thread Robert Banh

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.
