Over on #Twitter I usually use #Tweetdeck as I look after multiple accounts. After Elon's weekend screw up it is basically useless, but a peek under the hood using browser dev tools reveals that this is because it is getting errors from Twitter's own API. HTTP 404 errors. 😲

It's like they've managed to not just rate limit folk but lose a whole section of their API that their own products use.

@greenjimll that’s wild, surely there must be something else going on, this isn’t an urgent fix like he’s painting it, why would they pull the plug thus quickly without some due diligence

@marcar I do wonder if it was anything to do with Twitter trying to pull back from using Google's scalable cloud infrastructure?
