Twemes.com is Shutting Down

In January 2008 a weekend experiment with hashtags turned into Twemes.com.  While it was a side project, we upgraded and maintained it over the years but it has languished for quite some time and we have decided to shut it down.  We thank all of those that have used Twemes.com over the years and I hope that this shutdown does not inconvenience many.

If there are any questions, please contact me geoff@twemes.com.

The #twemes are flowing again. There are still some problems that we are working on.

We are currently having problems getting data from Twitter and are working on fixing the problem.

Twemes Flowing Again

Thanks to access to a new data stream from Twitter, Twemes is once again able to catch most tagged tweets.  Twitter cannot guarantee 100% access to tweets but it should be fairly close.

Down But Not Out

As many of your have already noticed, Twemes.com has not been able find all tagged tweets over the last few days.  This is due to Twitter’s decisions to shutdown and/or limit access to a number of their APIs.  Whether by design or by accident, Twemes.com now only has limited access to Twitter.  We have made appeals to Twitter staff to help us continue to keep Twemes.com in operation but those requests have had no impact on our access to the Twitter API.

We are hoping that Twitter may yet re-enable our access to their API but for the foreseeable future, Twemes.com will only be able to access a small percentage of the tagged tweets.

We are working on ways to reincarnate Twemes.com so don’t count us out yet!

The Twitter API is partially back but we are only getting a small part of the data that we need.

The Twitter API that we use for Twemes.com broke last night. No new tweets will show up at Twemes.com until Twitter fixes this.

We have had some software problems that have prevented us from updating our database over the last couple of hours. Fixed now. #twemes
