Twitter Dead? Twitter Not showing Tweets in User Profiles

By on Jun 14, 2010 in Social Media | View Comments

Today Twitter got effected with an unusual error where users can’t view other profile tweets. I have checked this on several users including Official Twitter profile, Mashable, TechCrunch, and our own Webcovery twitter profiles. Several users are complaining about this error for past few hours. See the screenshots below where you can view the users whole profile but without tweets.

Twitter has updated its status blog on the current situation saying:

Update: We’re currently experiencing site availability issues resulting from the failed enhancement of a new approach to timeline caching. Our infrastructure and operations engineers are currently working to resolve this. We’ll update you soon with an ETA.

Update: 10:17 PM PDT:  Users may temporarily experience missing tweets from their timelines. They will be restored shortly.

Update: 11:51 PM PDT: We’re  recovering from the site outage. Remember, users may temporarily experience missing or duplicate tweets from their timelines. Normal timelines will be restored shortly.

So this is a temporary problem and your tweets will go nowhere but still Twitter is going through a lot of downtime for the last few weeks and now add this new error to it. Twitter should take these errors seriously otherwise it may loose many of its users. We will get back to you as soon as we here more about this.
