       Is Twitter down / read-only for everyone else?
        
       I keep getting "You are over the daily limit for sending Tweets"
       when I try to tweet.

         | Wonder when happened to the engineers who knew how the service

         | Oh wait...

       | EDIT: Tweeting works normally now
