Twitter is Taking Too Long To Respond

June 27th, 2008 in Social Media, Technology

It sounds like more and more people are getting frustrated these days. I’ve been spending more time on Plurk as a result.

I’ve given up on using twhirl right now because the limit on requests is so low it just takes too long to stay up to date. twhirl announced this morning that Twitter is messing with something that threw off their auto-leveling requests to the Twitter API.

In the meantime, if Twitter does load, I’ve been using Twit Refresh, a simple script put together by @charris1980 with a 60-second refresh call so you don’t have to wear out your F5 key.

Give Twit Refresh a look and digg it if you like it.
