Unfortunately, Twitter has decided to significantly increase the price of the API we were using to power streaming on tchat.io. We’re unable to continue providing the service because of this. Let us know if you have any questions.
Just pushed an update to tchat.io that should make tweets show up more reliably. Let us know if you have any issues!
For those asking about more than 140 characters, I don’t think we’re going to support it. But, if everyone in your chat uses tchat.io, you shouldn’t have a problem.
Multiple Twitter apps have reported problems connecting to the streaming API over the past few days. The Twitter team is looking into it.
Some people have let us know about problems over the past few days. I thought it was related to the DDoS. Will research more tonight.
Replying to @TheMOWUSA
. @TheMOWUSA Indeed, we did have trouble connecting with Twitter today probably because of the DoS attack.
tchat.io is having trouble connecting to the Twitter streaming API, so tweets may not show up until the connection is re-established
We are currently experiencing problems connecting to Twitter. The streaming API is down. dev.twitter.com/overview/sta…
The Twitter Streaming API is currently having an outage and that.io is unable to stream tweets. We'll update when it is working again.
@VizwerxGroup I see you recommend a wide variety of options. ;-) teapaw.org/VizwerxGroup/status/58…
@VizwerxGroup Well, if everyone was using tchat.io, it would work the way it has always worked I think.
@VizwerxGroup The comment on retweet seems to be a brand new feature of Twitter we don’t directly support yet.
