It has been wildly inconsistent lately. Sometimes it is right on time, other times there is a major delay.

Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that.
- Jorge Escobar
it's weird that twitter signed a deal to give access to google and bing, but friendfeed seems to have lost that deal.

Paul or Bret: what is the latest status please?
- Steve Gillmor
The latest status? They're busy working valiantly on mincing the glory of their FriendFeed UI into the horror show that is Zuckerberg's Facebook UI.

from here to Twitter things are going live
- Johni Fisher
It was mentioned previously as being an issue with Twitter. They are polling now.
- Louis Gray
what? It's OK now? Or is it true that "Paul Bucheit wrote that they no longer had access to Twitter's firehose, so it sounds like it may have had something to do with Facebook's acquiring them, but don't quote me on that. - Jorge Escobar" -
- Steve Gillmor
I am trying to locate the conversation where he said this. But it's clear that Twitter is not giving FF the firehose for *some* reason. And they still aren't.

"The Twitter issue is a separate problem Jorge -- our realtime feed from them is gone, but we hope to get it restored soon. - Paul Buchheit" on Oct 26, 2009 http://friendfeed.com/paul...
- Micah Wittman
Awesome Micah, I was going nuts for a while. So without going to speculation what do you make of "Twitter's realtime feed from them is gone"? Is it scalability issues? But Google and Bing have no problems?
- Jorge Escobar
It's speculation, but I think it's Twitter saying "Ooopsy, now how did that happen? We'll put Top Men on it." and a Friendfeed Alum with "we hope to get it restored" as technically true, but belying that they know or suspect it's a TWTR business decision dragging-of-the-feet and not merely technical. But this can all be cleared up with an official statement :) Maybe I missed it - if so I apologize for wild speculation.
- Micah Wittman
Thanx Micah, Jorge. We'll wait for the update from Paul or Bret.
- Steve Gillmor
I wasn't seeing updates from Twitter to Friendfeed for 12 hours, but a manual refresh works ok. It is interesting to note the differences in 'real time' for Friendfeed, Twitter and FaceBook they all behave differently - only one of them seems to be 'real' real time -\

Trying to come up with an opinion on 'Dark Side of OAuth' article at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009... -should permissions be revoked on password change?
I think they probably should. It seems more consistent to revoke access. Plus, you are changing your password because of unauthorized access they may have authorized other apps via OAuth.
- Nick Lothian
I think that the change password flow should include an option to revoke access from all third-party applications. Blocking unauthorized access is not the only reason why people change their password.
- Gary Burd
+1 Gary. Hint: check the FriendFeed change password flow after you've authorized a 3rd party application. It includes a checkbox to revoke permissions.

I thought Ariel's blog said she is to start Maternity Leave, kinda a low blow offloading just before that.

Lame attempt to call BS on Verizon's iDon't ads at http://www.suntimes.com/technol... - I do agree that "iDon't allow open development" was meaningless
