Actually, we had 24 hours to change our code to adapt to the API change, and we were able to handle it quickly before it became a problem, we didn't end up with any duplicate tweets. The point of the article is that anybody who didn't see the announcement in time didn't really have a chance. It's a public API, there's a reasonable expectation here that a bit more notice would be given to such a change.
- intranation 18y agoDefinitely. I was bitten by this, and had my Twitter stream flooded with old tweets this morning from bots due to the removal of "since" in the API call. No notice, nothing. In fact, after it happened, I signed up for the API Google Group announcement list and only WAY after the fact did I get the official "we broke the API soz" email. Very very poor form.
