I fell in love with Twitter a few months ago. Before I did, when I heard people talking about Twitter’s downtime, I thought “no big deal, just do something else for a while until it comes back up.” Post Twitter addiction, the downtime hurt pretty badly. This week I’ve kept an eye on Twitter at work and there was something I hadn’t experienced before: a good amount of uptime. Yes, Twitter is actually improving their uptime right now. In fact, they are so confident about their uptime right now that the API limit is back up to 100 requests per hour. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it at 100 before. This means that I can get new tweets in Twhirl every 3 minutes and have requests left to spare! Twitter is becoming awesome again!
