Breakage in the new Twitter UI
Thursday, April 30, 2009 by Dave Winer.
I happy to report that I have the new Twitter user interface on my account and it's nice. 
However, apparently the "status" param is no longer recognized.
http://twitter.com/home?status=thisusedtowork
That would put "thisusedtowork" in the "What are you doing?" box. URL shorteners redirect to Twitter with the new shortened address in the "status" param.
This change breaks users. Any help would be much appreciated...
Update: Just got a direct message from Twitter, they fixed the breakage. That's excellent turnaround. Thanks!!
