Apologies, but...

[Alex Payne]

We've had to take some quick measures to alleviate serious database
pain, including disabling pagination back on the friends_timeline
method and ordering some responses by screen_name. I hope to
reinstate pagination for that method in the near future, but you may
have to do client-side ordering for friends and followers methods.

Sincere apologies for the unexpected changes. It's been a very
frustrating week, database-wise.

Bummer. Still, a limited Twitter is better than no Twitter at all. :)

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do.

I'm gonna guess they call those "growing pains". They're to be
expected. They won't be your last. Hang in there...

The fact that people have stuck it out through the various problems
has shown that there is a demand for Twitter and the platform it
offers.
