source name has switch to web

[Adrian]

Hi, all preexisting and newly added tweets with source Twitya have
changed to Web.

Tweets are added using 'source=twitya' in the post querystring as per
usual.

[JakeS]

This appears to be an issue for almost all clients. My client's
(PockeTwit) source parameter is no longer working either.

[JB]

Both of my OAuth applications are also showing as being "from web"
today...
not using source parameter.

[Brooks Bennett]

Chiming in that this is an issue for me as well...

[Chad Etzel]

Ditto.
http://jazzychad.com/meteor/sources.php is much less interesting now :)

This isn't exactly an emergency.

It's annoying as hell, it sucks not having tracking and I hope they fix it
quickly. But this is different than, say, someone swiping passwords.

I know it's an emergency for Damon, or anyone else whose app relies on those sources.

That's exactly my point -- it's not an emergency to Twitter, it's not part
of their core functionality and they've never made it as such. It's a nice
add-on they put in for developers to get props. I like it, and I take
advantage of it, and I'm bummed it doesn't work right now, but I can't see
where proportionately this falls on the same scope as, say, users unable to
fetch timelines. If that were going on and no one were fixing it, I'd be
right there with you. That's core.

I think it would be hard to develop a model where people pay for uptime support. 1) if I dont pay, and you and Ian at tweetDeck do, is twitter going to break the feature for non-payers (me?) 2) If this were a big time emergency and they couldnt fix it right away, are paying devs going to sue because they were guaranteed uptime. I understand its annoying, just calling out Ev or Alex for going to Maui just seems a little rude.

My point was that developers should be able to pay to get response in situations like this.  If Damon wanted to get support and at least get an answer that they were aware of the situation, he could.  Right now those developers reliant on this are stuck in limbo and there's nothing they can do about it.  There is no way to get prioritized support in situations like this.

I'm not asking for paid uptime - I'm asking for paid support - there's a difference.  I should be able to at least guarantee a response from either a support rep or developer at Twitter that something is being done.  I'd pay for that, and it would give me a lot more confidence in Twitter.

I wasn't calling out Ev or Alex for going to Maui - I even congratulated them for getting some deserved time-off.  I'm glad they're there.  I'm simply asking what do we do in situations like these?  When this affects my app next time, how can I get in touch with Twitter?

We're aware of this. Twitter developers and operations have been
working quite a bit this weekend on problems related to this issue and
others mentioned on the Twitter Status blog. Rough plans have been
made to fully address the status source tag on Monday, after people
have had some rest, but it's not yet clear when the issue will be
fixed.
