Earlier this week, I wrote a blog post on ProgrammableWeb.com about the Y2K-bug-like "Twitpocalypse." This programming issue basically concerns the maximum amount of numbers the default MySQL integer field type can hold. This limit is 2,147,483,648 - and the idea is, if the maximum amount of tweets in the Twitter system exceeds this value, Twitter chaos would ensue. Well, honestly, I thought that the Twitpocalypse was all hype, because I couldn't believe that many programmers would make the mistake of using the default integer type to store tweet id values. Well guess what? The iPhone twitter client I use, Twitterific, has been bombing all weekend. Why? It has succumbed to the Twitpocalypse!
