After users complained of delayed refresh rates, delayed tweets and retweets and other ills on late Friday afternoon, Twitter published a note to its status update page acknowledging the problems, saying: “Some users may be experiencing a delay with new tweets in their timelines. Our engineers are currently working on this issue.”

The Next Web speculated that the problems were due to Twitter’s streaming API (application programming interface), but this has yet to be confirmed. TPM has reached out to Twitter for more information and will update when we receive it.
