[twitter-dev] Re: Repeat Tweets
Thanks for letting us know about these Andy. As Taylor was saying the instabilities the other day are likely to have been the cause for these getting through. It shouldn't happen now but anything that did get through will still be there.

At first I thought it might be on our end. As we use the API to make tweets via a custom script in our CMS. However, the script records successful posts and then stops posting and the repeating tweet was recorded as a successful post and our system never sent it to Twitter again. Anyway it appears to have stopped so I guess all is good. :)
