[twitter-dev] Deleted status still in JSON, not in XML

[Ricky]

I've had a bug submitted by a user of the Twitterizer .NET library,
and it appears to be a possible bug with the Twitter API.

After destroying a status, the /users/show/screen_name.json result
still contained the destroyed status, while the /users/show/
screen_name.xml results (correctly, I think) contains the previous
status.

Below is the example, both from the user "ronneylovely". The status
"wow" has been deleted.

Thanks in advance for any insight or attention you give,
Ricky

Has anyone seen this behavior before? Is this a once in a lifetime
event? I (still) haven't found any mention of this anywhere.

Hi Twitter API Team,

This looks like long standing issue in the actual API, Can any one
confirm this from your team and fix it.

I have seen this issue in 2009 Feb also.

[Mark McBride]

I can reproduce this, and am taking a look now.

I know a fix for this has been worked on but with the errors the last few days we're behind on some getting some of these things out the door. We'll post an update when it's out in production. Thanks for your patience.
