Twitter broketasticness

What is up with Twitter lately? First it was giving odd responses to feed requests. Now its Jabber/GTalk bots seem to be offline. I got all hot and bothered when Penny clued me into the fact that I could funnel Twitter through BitlBee into Irssi, but since I can't get at Twitter with Jabber, I guess I'll have to keep ignoring it, since I don't need peoples' "I'm on the shitter" "status updates" sent to my phone.
