Twitter declares latest application platform problems solved

From InfoWorld: The technical problems that affected the performance and availability of third-party Twitter applications in recent days have been fixed, the micro-blogging and social networking company said Monday evening.

"We have made some great progress today in tuning the system to a point that should allow our partners to operate as they were before the recent issue began," wrote Ryan Sarver, a member of Twitter application platform support team in a discussion forum for Twitter developers.

The latest problems with the Twitter application platform started on Saturday afternoon, when the Twitter Web site suffered an unexpected outage.

The measures the company took to restore the service affected the API (application programming interface) and other functionality that third-party applications need to access Twitter data and services, it said. Twitter didn't detail those measures and has not offered a technical explanation of the problem.
