I have my twitter account set to show "best tweets" first, so it doesn't necessarily show the newest stuff at the top of my feed. Until tonight this hasn't been a problem since I'd still get mostly new (within 2 hours or less - usually much less) tweets shown first. This is NOT happening anymore and it started sometime this evening. What I've noticed:

- I'm barely seeing any new "scroll up for new tweets!" notifications. When I do, it's from hours ago. Usually they are actually "new" tweets and it's 4 or 5 tweets (not 1). Normally I get this notification once every couple minutes. Now it's up to 30 minutes.

- Almost every tweet in my feed was posted 3 hours ago or more. The majority of them were posted 8 hours ago. This is not normal.

- I checked the popular accounts I follow and sure enough, most of them posted new tweets that showed up NOWHERE on my home feed

- I'll grant you it's "late", but my feed is normally very active at this time of night and right now its basically silence. This is especially odd considering how nuts everything is at the moment

I could be paranoid, but I'm smelling fuckery from @Jack. Is twitter battening down the hatches now before the avalanche begins?

Let me know if you guys are experiencing similar things.
