Hi Developers, Just wanted to send you all an update that we're still working with gusto on the performance problems you've been encountering (thanks for all the helpful reports!)
This week and next we're making a number of calculated modifications that should help ease the issues while we simultaneously investigate and improve other elements of the growing Twitter infrastructure. In the meantime, you'll see requests continuing to take longer than they should (instead of timing out) and you may see 401 Unauthenticated responses for otherwise valid authorized requests. When you encounter this kind of behavior, it's best not to immediately retry requests but instead to back off for 5s or so before retrying a request again. Thank you for your continued patience while we work through these issues; improvements are on the near horizon! Taylor Singletary Developer Advocate, Twitter http://twitter.com/episod
