I just wrote this comment in another thread:<p>Start by checking Twitter's API health page:
<a href="https://dev.twitter.com/status" rel="nofollow">https://dev.twitter.com/status</a><p>Which links to, e.g., what looks like big problems with the home timline:<p><a href="https://status.io.watchmouse.com/7617/125017//statuses/home_timeline-(OAuth-1.0a)" rel="nofollow">https://status.io.watchmouse.com/7617/125017//statuses/home_...</a><p>I realise that I do a lot of Twitter and other API development, and so it's easy for me to say, but I don't think it's too crazy to suggest you should be looking in their general direction for answers first.
reply<p>------------------<p>Really, why not look at Twitter's status page rather than asking on HN? In your - the submitter's - profile, it says you're a software engineer, so there's really no excuse.
