  12. Sorry politwitter.ca has been unresponsive for much of the last 36 hours. A new caching system I added seems to have failed 1:44 PM May 29th via Canadian Political Tweets
  13. You can help Politwitter purchase a new server to handle the current & future load, making the site faster as well! bit.ly/JWRpGY 12:40 PM May 25th via Canadian Political Tweets
  14. With over 6million tweets indexed and growing at over 12k a day Politwitter needs some beefier hardware. optimization only goes so far 12:38 PM May 25th via Canadian Political Tweets
