  1. Politwitter mentioned in Toronto Star article about a new US site that tracks deleted congress tweets bit.ly/L4YUvE
  2. the inline tweet translate feature is working again. Microsoft changed their Translate API and it's been broken for the last month
  3. did you know Politwitter tracks tweets deleted by MPs politwitter.ca/page/deleted NDP MPs delete the most tweets #cdnpoli
  4. added some stats to the right side of the "deleted tweets" page politwitter.ca/page/deleted
  5. @lominglum Thats why on most pages it says "27 minutes ago" and so on, so its all relative to each users timezone.
  6. @lominglum Politwitter's server is in PST timezone and the tweet times reflect that.
  7. @lominglum that tweet was tracked, here it is politwitter.ca/detail/tweet/2…
  8. @studentvote along with the detailed directory on Politwitter itself, I also sync to Twitter lists politwitter.ca/page/twitter-l…
  9. @lominglum send me a link to the tweet you think is restricted
  10. @lominglum tweets are not blocked on Politwitter. if its not a reply to an MLA or using a tracked onpoli hashtag then its not included
  11. @dooohhead sure, you gunna pay for it? ;) Cloud is much more expensive for long period comapred to owning hardware
  12. Sorry politwitter.ca has been unresponsive for much of the last 36 hours. A new caching system I added seems to have failed
  13. You can help Politwitter purchase a new server to handle the current & future load, making the site faster as well! bit.ly/JWRpGY
  14. With over 6million tweets indexed and growing at over 12k a day Politwitter needs some beefier hardware. optimization only goes so far
  15. @lominglum the accounts on this list are the only ones that are ever blocked politwitter.ca/page/blocked_t…
  16. @lominglum the delay is probably due to server problems I've been having trevormay.ca/donate/server.…
  17. @lominglum Politwitter doens't censor tweets, if you use a hashtag that is tracked or reply to an MLA it will be tracked
  18. Did some database tweaking and made the provincial twitter pages load MUCH faster politwitter.ca/province/on #onpoli
  19. @schpet but when I get a new DB server i could use the old server for varnish or something else to spread the load
  20. @schpet I made a post awhile back with some details of the backend, if you have any other suggestions bit.ly/IOOVKO
