I'm not sure when this started (likely within a few days), but we just
noticed the <link rel="alternate"/> links have been rendering
incorrectly on all public twitter profiles.
They literally appear as uninterpreted ruby string escape sequences:
<link rel="alternate" href="/statuses/user_timeline/#
{[email protected]}.rss" title="Loquatmusic's Updates" type="application/rss
+xml" />
<link rel="alternate" href="/favorites/#{current_user.id}.rss"
title="Loquatmusic's Favorites" type="application/rss+xml" />
The timeline RSS can still be scraped from the in-page link (a href
class="xref rss profile-rss"), but hopefully they'll fix this soon.
