The @USGovNews Team loves us some Twitterfeed. It is the workhorse behind all the posting we do. That said, sometimes we have trouble.
Today was one of those days...
Twitterfeed is supporting the twitter OAuth beta, but for some reason today, we started getting lots of "401 unauthorized" failures. These became obvious as we started checking our tr.im statistics and we had a string of about 20 tweets with no traffic. That is pretty uncommon for us.
So we did what your would expect. we tried to re-authenticate to twitter using OAuth,
and waited...
No help.
Then we tried changing to non-OAuth Authentication (UserID and passwords),
and waited...
No Dice.
So we just started deleting feeds and rebuilding them.
Painful, but it seems to be working...
Yes ! Back up and running again!
Thanks Twitterfeed!
We really do LOVE your services!
Without you, we would be nothing. Really, it is true!
Thanks,
The @USGovNews Team

100 Followers
Hi All,
We just got to 100 followers! Not sure how many folks are genuine users and how many are just spammers, though. Overall it appears that many are real folks, with real interest in Federal Government News.
Please let us know if you see additional sources of Federal News.
Thanks all!

Start Me UP!
Today is the first day of @USGovNews!
We are just getting started.
So far we have created our Twitter account, and developed our avatar and our background image. We have also developed this blogging space, to provide status updates and collect feedback.
Most importantly, we have found and vetted more than 40 sources to Federal Agency News. This effort will continue for quite some time as we seek more and more information sources. Our Goal is to be the best source for Federal Government News on Twitter.
