I'm getting the "something is technically wrong" error when loading
show_users right now when I try to authenticate it with any username
but the user themselves - is something going on?:

http://twitter.com/users/show/guykawasaki.json

What's even odder is that it's returning plain HTML as the error and
not JSON or XML as expected, which is breaking my app.

Thanks,

Jesse

Further info - so far I'm only able to reproduce it with the user
guykawasaki. Other users do seem to work.

I can verify this also.
Actually, it looks like you can't even see guykawasaki's twitter page..
http://twitter.com/guykawasaki

he probably posted one too many alltop.com links and broke the system :)

I'll ask our team about this one. Very odd.

This looks to be working now - did you guys do something to fix it?
Also, why were we not getting XML or JSON output back on the error
through the API?
