Twitter braces for WWDC

Last year Twitter failed big time during Steve’s keynote. This time Twitter has given prior notification of possible outage, and the shutting down of certain features to combat the onslaught of traffic. The API request limit has been lowered, along with the frequency. You may feel some frustration with using Twitter for iPhone today. Please hang in there.
