Weekend Update

Our engineering and operations team is working tonight and through the weekend on a bug that essentially has some people missing friend updates. Our big infrastructure move helped in many ways but also introduced new bugs.

The primary focus of our activity this weekend is to permanently fix this particulary annoying bug. Today we noticed some database inconsistencies—those are related and being addressed now. We'll continue to keep you posted as we make improvements.

Please fix! So annoying! Would rather you were down for a few hours every day :-)

FWIW, I'm missing the majority of friend updates, and direct messages aren't being sent to me by email any more. Most of the friends whose updates I'm missing are also seeing the same behaviour.

I love Twitter, I've long argued that the problems have been because you're breaking new ground, doing complex stuff. But right now it's useless to me. Take the time to fix it right.

It's good to know you guys are on the problem.
It is seriously frustrating to know that we're probably missing things from others and having to hope they don't feel ignored if we don't respond.

Good Luck Twitter! Fix those errors!

I'm assuming this includes SMS functionality? You guys mentioned that friend updates aren't working.. but I also noticed I am unable to update twitter from SMS... and the 'on' and 'off' texts are no longer being acknowledged.

same here about SMS. I have received a SMS text from twitter in 2 days. That is currently not working, right?
