Ask HN: Does Twitter throttle on a per-user basis?
I'm having trouble using Twitter -- I keep getting "Something is technically wrong". When I log in with a different user everything works fine.
I suppose there could be something specific to my account (different group of servers or whatever) that's causing the problem.
Does anyone know how this works?

- th0ma5 16y agoI was having the same problem, but I saw my friends who cross-post to Facebook getting tweets in. As nbpoole posted, they were having some issues, but also, because of the distributed nature you'll find a Twitter outage to often being a rolling blackout sort of thing. Also, they do throttle requests, something like several hundred within an hour, and I hit some message like that the other day, that I was over the API call limit, but I think that too was an outage of some kind.
