# Twitter can be flaky
|
|
|
|
Twitter does not allow the possibility of retrieving more than 3200 tweets.
|
|
However twitter generally stalls before coming close to this limit. Please
|
|
consider complaining to Twitter about this issue.
|
|
|
|
Type your name again up in the box above to update and append any new tweets
|
|
to any already existing tweets.

I did file <https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/3414>, which later seemed to be fixed.

Could do with some help here to make shell scripts show nicely, like `tail` in a console.
