awarrenfells writes "The surging popularity of the Twitter messaging service has broken at least one Twitter client application and affected another as a part of what is being called "the Twitpocalypse."

Excerpt: On Friday evening, the number of tweets exceeded 2,147,483,6471. While that doesn't seem like a round number, it's the largest number that can be stored as the data type known as a "signed integer." Once that number was exceeded, some versions of some Twitter client apps could break in a fashion similar to what was expected during the Y2K "millennium bug" era"
