Tweekly.fm Updates

I've made a couple of changes to the tweekly.fm service tonight. Firstly, any accounts that have revoked OAuth permission for the app will now be removed in the daily tweet cycle (in turn, lowering out tweet output too). The other change I've made is quite a significant one. When we post out our weekly tweets search engines and spiders start indexing our site immediately.

This extra traffic along with the usual traffic to user pages pushes our server to the max and that is what results in the 403 errors and server errors. I've now blocked certain spiders and robots from accessing our site. You should notice much more responsiveness when using the site during the time that the system is sending weekly tweets out.

I've also added tweekly.fm to the Wikipedia page of Twitter apps and services.
