Problems with the WordPress Twitter Widget

I was finding that the new WordPress Twitter Widget was giving me the “No response from Twitter.” error the majority of the time, so I thought I’d try switching to the RSS method for a while until they work out the kinks with the new widget. Turns out that the RSS option isn’t much better.  My guess is that the Twitter servers are just really overloaded most of the time.  Maybe it’s time to find a business model to fund some bigger iron!
