Re: Some Favorites Work, Some Utterly Do Not
Alex, I have had a problem with favorites since Oct. 13. I opened a Twitter Support ticket and it has gone unheeded. My problem is that my favorites appear out of date/time order. It is a hard problem at first to spot, until you do the following. Please check them by looking at: 1. Top of page 1, then bottom of page 1 2. Top of page 2, then bottom of page 2 3. Top of page 3, then bottom of page 3 4. Top of page 4, then bottom of page 4 etc. You will see that they are not in chronological order (per the time/ date they were tweeted). I noticed some other users' tweets which were also not in date/time order. Please let me know what info you need to look into this. http://twitter.com/badkitty_ On Oct 20, 12:26 pm, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What happens when you favorite them via the API and it doesn't take?

Thanks. We've got someone looking into it but we've had a hard time replicating. Hopefully this'll help.

Re: Some Favorites Work, Some Utterly Do Not
We found the bug. You were hitting the limit of the number of favorites a user can create per day. We simply weren't exposing the error message. We'll start doing so, and perhaps we need to up the favorites per day limit as well.

Re: Some Favorites Work, Some Utterly Do Not
...and then there was favrd. :) 250 might have been a very reasonable limit given contemporaneous projections regarding likely use of the method. But every feature exposed by the API will end up being used in unpredictable ways. 6 months ago, I used favorites like bookmarks. Now I use them as votes to be tallied by the favrd site for a community built using twitter as a foundation. You guys gave birth and raised a *great* system and environment, and life has grown therein. On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 6:44 PM, Alex Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's currently 250 favorites per day.

Re: Some Favorites Work, Some Utterly Do Not
That makes some sense. I use the favorites for both bookmarks (for the majority of users who aren't on Favrd), and as votes for Favrd (for the few that are). I could easily be cresting 250/day. Btw, I assure you I am not mechanically issuing favorites; every one of them is lovingly applied by my hand. A better error message would help. Expanding the limit would help even more. Given that I follow just over 650 users, which in aggregate issue 1,500-4,500 tweets/day, allowing just 250 favorites a day seems a very low number. I am sure I'm on the high end of readership, but I have seen a number of my colleagues who follow 400+ users. Some follow 1,000. Is there a reason to limit favorites thus? I.e. is it an expensive operation? I wouldn't think so, but it could be. If not, why not increase the number of allowed favorites to 1,000 or 1,500/day, say?

I'm @texburgher of that exchange. My joke tweet about it aside, there have been apparent inconsistencies with favouriting of tweets over the past week to two weeks (that I've seen). If you are interested at any point in my description of the symptoms, I'm happy to give it. Let me know.
