Hey Dave,

Check out this post at mashable - it contains information about how to fix this twitter problem. I just did it and it worked like a charm.

Interesting... The last one I see in my stream or friends page or whatever it's called is

"@tonyhung is asking if anyone we follow "floods" Twitter? Oh, we don't know anyone like that, do we? :-)
about 21 hours ago from im in reply to tonyhung "

I wonder if a client would show more... I just checked on the laptop and nope, a client does not make a difference. Something's seriously messed up right now I guess.

There seems to be a difference between the postings visible through the web/apis and the IM stream. The first interface only gives me updates from people that I have subscribed to in the past x days, all the others are invisible. The IM stream however seems to give me all positings (I think).

This kind of failure makes you think about what kind of problems you tolerate before you should take your service offline. E.g. is it better to have a shopping card that only shows you half of what you put in there or one that tells you to come back later but will work.

Adam, I didn't post that much over the weekend, but did at least a few Tweets yesterday and a few this morning already.

Dave,

I did notice that my Twitter friends page, or whatever it's called, seems to be much emptier than it usually is. Especially since I normally have like 3,000 tweets from Scoble a day.

Pownce FTW?

Edit: It appears that I'm able to post, so I'm wondering if this is effecting only some people.

I figured everyone had unplugged for the weekend but apparently not. Shame, hope they get it fixed soon.

This post on Get Satisfaction indicates that they are having problems with caching on their server which is causing the problem. Later on the twitter rep indicates that they've updated @twitter_status, but that they know the problem is still not fixed.

They should probably still put it up on their blog though.

I noticed a similar problem on Twitter a few months ago, which caused me to finally quit my Twitter-account: Tweets I posted and I received showed up in Google Talk, but not on the website.
