We have a database that we use to log receipts of all received
messages. That database is having some issues, and our when
application sees that, it decides to hand your clients back a 500 even
though we've received the update. We're working to get that database
stable so you once again see the expected behavior (a 200 response if
everything went fine, a 401 response if you're not authorized, etc.).
This is certainly annoying, but at the very least we're not losing
your updates. Thanks for your patience.

Good luck!
as a side note it would be great if the API could return a "503
Service Unavailable" during maintenance (rather than a 200 as it does
now).

Thanks Alex. I really appreciate the transparency.
I do want to stress the importance of the return values however. The
post id is used in our products for several purposes:
a) published links back to twitter.
b) a marker to prevent circular posting.
c) as an endpoint for entity relationships based on analysis of the
status data.
From my perspective, I would prefer posts fail than succeed without
the return data.
cheers,
Jay
