Why We Are Focused on Engineering and Operations
One week ago we announced the hiring of Lee Mighdoll as Vice President of Engineering and Operations. Lee's immediate goal is to help turn Twitter into a reliable communication network that people all over the world can depend on every day.
The challenge facing Lee and our entire Twitter team was highlighted this morning during Steve Jobs' keynote address.
Macworld is only one event, in one city. Twitter must be reliable around the world, around the clock, and it must accommodate all sudden bursts of real-time messages—everything from Apple announcements to natural disasters.
The Twitter Engineering and Operations team is tiny compared to our growth and popularity. In 2008, Lee will be aggressively building a dream team take on the challenge of realizing Twitter's full, global potential. It won't be easy. If you're up for the challenge, please get in touch.

Starting with the outage yesterday I have been receiving constant error messages from Twitter using Twitteriffic. Mostly the one that says I'm requesting updates more than 70 times an hour, which I am not. Once every 3 minutes is well short of that. This MUST be an issue you are aware of. I am not alone in this experience.
Having similar issues as the person above. I'm using the API to develop an application, and if I'm not getting rate limit errors, I'm getting "servers overloaded" errors. Any word when this is supposed to be resolved? I'm sure you guys are tired of these sort of questions ;).
Hope your week gets better!
Impressive words and good efforts. The past wasn't really too satis. Hope it will be better.
Good, a serious upgrade is needed, MacWorld clearly killed you guys. Still love twitter. lol
Good! Like many, I love twitter, and I want it to stay viable as it grows.
fortunately, there are not too much fairs that size a year (:
