Those of you who use Twitter know that the folks at Twitter haven’t been able to keep the service running properly. You may also know that in an effort to combat the enormous amounts of negative PR that they were receiving as a result the downtime, they started the Twitter Status Blog, which keeps you [...]
Since most of you probably don’t care why your twitter client (i.e. twhirl, AlertThingy, etc.) isn’t working and just want to know how to fix it, I’ll go through the fix first.
