Just a quick reminder that Snowflake (the new way we will generate
Status IDs) is scheduled to go live at 10am PDT/5pm UTC Tuesday 12th
October 2010 - today for many of you and tomorrow for those of you who
are on PDT. We'll send a Tweet on @twitterapi as a reminder just
before we do this, and another after Snowflake is enabled.
The original announcement along with more information can be found in
our Announcements archive:

However if the tweets will no longer be directly incremental, will
this method still work or could the odd tweet disappear (I assume they
would need to be posted at the same millisecond, but it could be
possible)?
