Search is slightly behind
We are aware that Twitter Search is behind. It’s slower than it should be in catching up with the newest updates—we’re working on it now.
Investigating Our Incomplete Search Index
We are aware that not all updates are making their way into our search index. Content partners that consume our feed such as GNIP and FriendFeed are also not receiving the complete number of updates. We are investigating this issue now and it’s a priority this week.
Deletion and Restoration turned off
We have temporarily turned off user deletion and restoration. Some of the whales and site outage we’ve seen are tied to these mechanisms. As a result we’re turning them off as we create a patch to fix the behavior.
We’ve been investigating an increase in over-capacity messages (whale pages) these past few days. We’re happy to report that we found the cause today: our background process to watch and end long-running queries on the databases silently failed a few days ago and was never restarted. It’s back in action now and that means more capacity!
Direct message links not working
Errors occur when clicking the reply or message links to send a direct message. We will be pushing a fix for this as soon as we can.
looking good, working well
The hardware issue didn’t cause much disruption. There appears to have been some connection time-outs here and there this morning. Things are looking good.
Working on a hardware issue
The web site will be unavailable for some users (intermittant) as we work out a hardware issue that just came up. The Twitter operations department is working on this now.
Twitter search available again
Service has been fully restored for search.
Twitter Search temporarily down
We are experiencing a few hiccups migrating data centers tonight. Full service will be restored in a few hours.
