- The @twitter API is currently throttled back to just 75/hr, according to my Tweetdeck
# - The @Twitter API appears to be back to its (reduced) rate of 175/hr again. #
- @FlissTee I think it's back up to 175 now – still pretty miserable, though, compared to the usual 350! in reply to FlissTee #
- My phone's just notified me of a voicemail left yesterday – 24 hours ago! wtf?? #
- Been for a shower, come back, and it's still nil-nil! lol! #port #spa #worldcup #
- @ceggsx Some of us are probably slow responding coz the Twitter API is down to 175/hr, so we're not getting tweets on Tweetdeck etc as quick in reply to ceggsx #
- @bswain Because Twitter want it that way for now – they have issues – earlier it was down to 75/hr! http://bit.ly/dtkCkm in reply to bswain #
- @ceggsx Lol, I have no idea – I guess it's hard paying for all the bandwidth we all use when they're not really making any money? in reply to ceggsx #
- @Sean110 That was no dream. That was a nightmare! lol! in reply to Sean110 #
- @Wendywitwoo I think it's back up to 175 now – still not right though – 350 was much better in reply to Wendywitwoo #
- @bswain Yes, 4 or 5 as far as I know, maybe even longer. Wish they'd sort it – makes Tweetdeck run rather slow, waiting for updates! in reply to bswain #
- @MarianKemmer If Poertugal score, Alonso will winge about it not being fair and demand Portugal are given a drive-through penalty in reply to MarianKemmer #

- @bswain I know – still, the football's distracting me in reply to bswain #
- @ceggsx In Dec 09, they signed deals with M/soft & Google worth $25m, apparently – http://bit.ly/93hmP7 – put them in the black for 1st time in reply to ceggsx #
- @Wendywitwoo I don't think they'll ever solve it. Twitter's ability to cope is inversely proportional to the number of people using it in reply to Wendywitwoo #
- @ceggsx No, absolutely not! I hope they DO make money – if it ever just… stopped, my world would not be the same, It's integral to my life in reply to ceggsx #
- @Wendywitwoo Was just tweeting bout this with @ceggsx -they've just turned a profit for 1st time so maybe they can now- http://bit.ly/93hmP7 in reply to Wendywitwoo #
- @Wendywitwoo It's like magic, isn't it? They've invented a way of making money between themselves by mining all our tweets for information. in reply to Wendywitwoo #

- OK, too slow on here tonight, so I'll give it a rest. Thanks for your tweets! #
- @ceggsx night to you – thanks for the tweets! in reply to ceggsx #
- Listening to the cries of swallows high overhead. From beneath the hanging baskets I'm watering, moths take wing on the scent of damp earth. #
- @Wendywitwoo If Google and M/soft are prepared to pay that much for access to our tweets, there must be some prospect of making a return … in reply to Wendywitwoo #
- @Wendywitwoo … and if it means we don't need to pay to use Twitter, I don't mind in reply to Wendywitwoo #
