Twitpocalypse Not Now: Crisis Averted. Mostly.

As a few commenters have noted, and I’ve just confirmed, the popular Twitter app, Twitterrific, is completely broken right now due to API errors — at least the iPhone version. Some reports have said TweetDeck is facing similar problems.

Very soon the unique identifier associated to each tweet will exceed 2,147,483,647. It’s at around 2,113,183,266 right now. That’s a site dedicated to this: http://www.twitpocalypse.com/

ProgrammableWeb explains:

The Twitpocalypse is Near: Will Your Twitter Client Survive?

Every tweet in Twitter’s system is uniquely identified by an integer value. For example, the system’s very first public tweet, “just setting up my twttr,” by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, is tweet number 20 (presumably tweets 0 through 19 were used for testing). The maximum signed 32-bit integer value for most database applications is 2,147,483,648.

Everyone should find some good shelter and hide. And consider food rationing too. And slow down your Twitters, we can just live a day longer.

I don’t see how imposing a character limit is supposed to be exactly innovative here. Twitter could probably do better if they increase the character limit.
