As far as retrieving the large graphs from a DB, flat files are one way - another is to just store the full graph (of ids) in a single column in the database and parse on retrieval. This is what FriendFeed is doing currently, so they've said. Dewald and I are both talking about this because

John, thanks for spending time on this. Any chance we can get a lift on the follow limits for a temporary time so I can catch up a few users that were affected by this? Or, if you want to do it on a per-user basis I can send you the names of the users. Jesse On Sat, Sep 5, 2009 at 7:55 AM,

Again, I can't stress this enough - when bugs like this are introduced, it is imperative that follow limits are also removed temporarily (or on a case-by-case basis) so we can make this up to our users. I've already had to issue refunds to a couple due to this. If you need me to send you the

I find if you take it as the rule and not the exception it's much easier to plan. Seems that way lately with Twitter. :-) FWIW, I know you hate hearing this, but Facebook's API pushes changes into a beta staging environment every Tuesday, notifies developers of the changes as they update it, and

Can Twitter remove the following per hour limit for a little bit after they fix this (at least for whitelisted IPs and/or OAuth)? This has caused us, and I'm sure many other apps to pre-emptively unfollow people that they were not supposed to. This is a BIG problem! I completely agree with

I have an app I'm sending Twitter updates via both my website, and a Facebook app. It's the same user database and same brand all around though. What would be very useful is if there was a way to, when users post from the Facebook app, mention a specific source for the Facebook app version of my
