Why aren’t my Tweets posting?
You’ve noticed that some of your tweets haven’t been posting? Sorry. That is not good.
As it turns out, Twitter made a little change sometime last week (as far as we can tell) whereby “A status update with text identical to the authenticating user’s current status will be ignored to prevent duplicates.” We imagine this was implemented to cut down on Twitter spammers.
So, a problem of late has been that when Twuffer encountered one of these duplicate tweets, Twitter stopped responding the way it used to. The change caused Twuffer to abort sending every subsequent tweet in the batch that hour. We’ve updated our script.
A word of warning: from now on, if the scheduled tweet Twuffer is trying to send for you is identical to your latest tweet, it WILL NOT be sent.
