Well, as many of you have pointed out, hashtags.org has been down since July 10th - nearly a month. This is because we rely on Twitter’s XMPP service to recieve tweets. They took the service down on the 10th and since then we’ve been waiting, patiently.

I have emailed the folks at twitter several times, but I haven’t been able to get a solution from them. In the mean time we are going to try a few other ways to get the data from them - even if it means banging on the public RSS feed every 2 seconds.

I assure you that we will be back, it’s just a matter of when Twitter gets it’s things in order.
