AND they've made changes to their site which have rendered it impractical to use as a public "status page" -- for logged-out visitors, posts on an account's profile page are ordered by the number of likes, not chronologically, and pages for individual posts don't display replies.
Take a look at what this does to the National Weather Service's page, for example [1]. What's on top? Posts from years ago warning about hurricanes that have long since passed. They're still making posts about active weather threats, but there's no way to see them if you aren't logged in -- so it's no longer an effective way to reach the public at large. Nor does it help that their widget for embedding a Twitter feed on a web site has been broken for over a month [2]!
