Twitter borked

So, I recently started using Twitter, mostly to see what's the BigDeal(tm) about it. I guess the "fun" of Twitter is the inherant voyeurism of following people without them following you back. I was kind of hoping that Twitter would be more of a "2-way conversation" but that doesn't seem to be happening, at least from where I'm sitting.

Of course, this post is not supposed to be a rant about how to use Twitter, but more about the recent "maintenance" from this past weekend. By Saturday afternoon, I noticed something a bit "off" with my Twitter webpage. I was not seeing as many tweets from others as I wousd have expected. I was trying to catch up on events overnight, and noticed some tweets showing up on gTalk that didn't show up on the webpage. I didn't think too much about it, until Sunday morning, when I noticed more "missing" tweets.

And it looks like Twitter is aware of the problem.
