Scheduled

We've moved the two hour downtime that was scheduled earlier this week. It will be on Sunday from 6-8p instead. During this downtime we'll be upgrading our database hardware which unfortunately can't be done while the site is online.

In the past, we've not done as good a job at giving advance notice when we need to bring the site down. Whenever possible, we will try to give 24 hours notice from now on (usually via a notice on your Twitter homepage).

Of course, avoiding downtime at all is the bigger goal. Scheduled maintenance, like the one this Sunday, will help Twitter to run more smoothly.

Can you add timezones (or add the time in GMT) when you post downtimes?

just wondering, twitter used to either, NOT show @name replies to anyone else other than the person you have directed to, or, otherwise, unless both twitter members are all following each other. i realise that this is not the case anymore after your maintenance. i am my friends' replying to others on Home. is this intentional? ('-' ?)

thanks!

The old pages are not accessible anymore - why? It is not feasable to follow people through IM or SMS, especially with following people from different timezones.

Please restore the "older" view - at least one page of history.

Bring "older" back in the conversation view! Do you really hate my friends that much?

+1 for bringing back Older.

Yeah, sometimes my friends are jerks, but I still like being able to go back and see what those jerks had to say. :)
