    I've been using twitterberry for a while, and it's been completely fine for me, but now all of a sudden i can't get my friend's updates or anything-- after a while of loading i get a box that says Network Request Failed. I haven't done anything to change the settings for this. Anyone else have the same problem?

    I also tried using ubertwitter but i get nothing.

    no prob. I cant believe it happened, you think they would be more cautious and protected, but noooooo.

    They didn't get hacked - they got DDoS'd (Distributed Denial of Service). There's pretty much nothing you can do to prepare for an onslaught from a botnet. Much different than being hacked.

    Whoever did it targeted the profile of one single person across FB, LiveJournal, and Twitter. The social networks were just innocent parties in this whole mess.

    It all started yesterday. I noticed it when SocialScope wasn't updating anything and I couldn't post any tweets. Hope it gets fixed soon.

    UberTwitter still isn't working for me!
    but Tweetie on my iPhone has been working fine since early last night... I'm starting to wonder if it's really Twitter's problem

    I've been tweeting for a little while now. Seems like its working but SocialScope still has a warning saying there will be problems until twitter is back to 100%.

    People are missing out on the awesomeness of my tweets. We've blocked it at work so only place to post is via BB plus who tweets from a computer, not much you can say other than "sitting at the computer again". hope it comes back soon.
