Both of our sites are suffering from 400-type status returns from the Twitter API.  That means we are exceeding our 20,000 requests per hour limit.  Sadly, there’s not much to be done about this… they both are analytically heavy, requiring lots of calls.  As these sites becom popular, they are maxing out Twitter’s API maximum usage limits.

In the next few days, I’ll make sure the two sites handle these errors better, and present users with a “sorry, try back next hour” message.  Darnit!
