Strange new display error on Twitter

January 6, 2009 By Dan Thornton

I’m just about to restart my PC to see if the error continues, but at the moment, it appears I’m only seeing Tweets posted 40 minutes ago – and all my updates are being displayed in order at the top…
If it continues after a restart, I’ll grab a screenshot and start trying to get some more details…

I’ve also just noticed that the Twitter warning about the recent phishing attacks which was visible on the main page has now mysteriously vanished for me.

There’s nothing on the official Twitter blog, but it comes strangely soon after the first major Twitter hacking of 33 celebrity accounts, and the first large scale Twitter phishing attack.

Update: 19.56 GMT

Checked the @Twitter account, and there’s a simple sentence on the Twitter Status Blog.

‘We’re experiencing some delays in the amount of time it takes for updates to appear in timelines. Working on this now.’

It was apparently posted an hour ago – I do wonder why messages are split between the official blog and the status blog.

    Each blog has its own discrete purpose. The main difference I see is that the status blog alerts you that something’s going on and is their first line of info, while the main blog lays out the details after the dust has settled. The former is for posts on how Twitter’s running, and the latter for news items and miscellany related to Twitter.
