WTF TWITTER →[More:] y'all know that twitter has been acting weird lately, right?
I just got home and discovered that twitter has been updating my facebook status even though I disabled that app a year ago.
WTF!
It's like twitter suddenly forgot all of its settings. gah.

You are not the only person I've heard complain about this today. Is it Twitter, or is it Facebook? New Facebook certainly has some kinks in it I don't like.

Twitter has also been dropping tweets for the last few days and not updating profile images.

Twitter's been dropping tweets like crazy lately. The status blog said they ran some "unplanned maintenance" two days ago, and I'm guessing that's what fucked it. I've lost about ten tweets in two days. Which is awesome.

Lost several tweets myself, seem to be all @ tweets, tho'.

I think all of this happened after 'pode baby wrote her first tweet.

It ate several of mine, too, not just @ones. That's okay; they were all dumb anyway.

I just joined Twitter today, but seem to have lost one. If I re-tweet it, will it come back and make me look like I'm stupidly repeating myself?

Huh. Mine seems fine. I haven't been posting from my phone, though, since it's been disconnected, and I don't post frequently anyway.

That Facebook thing would make me really mad, though, because I am completely opposed to any non-consensual synergy between FB and other sites I use.

Yeah, it's so crazy. George Stephanopoulos's twitter was even spamming John McCain's today.

I think.

It's true, special-k! I thought that as well!

Making logins persistent would be nice too.

I post online, loiseau. I don't have a phone that texts.

Haven't had a problem staying logged in.

It has been slow in recognising a change in icon and background, but that's fine now.
