…The system we use to keep track of previously posted articles experienced problems starting around midnight EDT last night. We misinterpreted the returned results as “unseen”. This has resulted in duplicate posts for some of our members.
The folks @switchabit sincerely apologize for the flood.

The Twitter update status API is currently both working and not working. Posts are going through. However, the payload should contain the identifier for the new status message. Unfortunately, this is what we are seeing:
<html><body><h1>500 Internal Server Error</h1></body></html>
In order to prevent circular posting, we have been forced to turn off switchAbit while this is being resolved. Twitabit and Twittergram do not require the identifier and are fully functioning.
Here is the response from the Twitter team. We appreciate their transparency.
UPDATE 1:53pm EDT: Twitter is back online and so is switchAbit! Details are available in the Twitter status report.
