It's probably just a sign of infrastructure failure.
Does Twitter still have a working API? Because if it does, it would probably save the Archive a lot of bandwidth, clock cycles, and redundant storage space if they just built a dedicated Twitter crawling bot that can read raw tweets the same way third party apps do, and set up a read-only mirror that pulls from that data. And really all the crawler has to do is fill out a list of extant accounts, and then periodically check each of them (at a frequency directly proportional to how often the user tweets) for new posts.Admittedly I've never tried to archive anything from Twitter before, but this isn't normal, is it?
