Is Twitter feed for @ozbargain working?

Last tweet I can see is from 26/06, announcing it's back after being locked. But doesn't look like it is?

      • Have reached new API limits imposed after Elon took over. We're working on getting them all restarted but more than likely the ozbargain Twitter will just Tweet out the hot deals instead of all deals. The free API allows 1500 Tweets a month. The next paid plan is 3000 Tweets per month, costing US$100/month which won't get us close to the amount of deals posted per month. That only leaves the US$5000/month plan allowing 300,000 Tweets per month. Don't think we're going to be paying US$60,000 (~A$90,000) just to Tweet out our deals.

      Elon is so bad, he's made people root for Zuckerberg.

      It's a shame there's no in between 3,000 and 300,000 tweet deal because if the tweets are generating income with affiliate links then obviously Scotty would pay for it. But not if the affiliate income from Twitter only users is less than $90,000 a year.

    Thank you! Without OzBargain feed I have little use for Twitter. Hmm, Threads…?

    More will be coming later, currently planning

    • Telegram
    • Mastodon

    I haven't looked into Threads' API yet but will investigate. Meanwhile we are still thinking what we can do with our 1,500/month free tweets. Not enough for deals/comps. Maybe just posting trending deals.

      Why not get mods to curate which ones to tweet. I know jv has been itching to volunteer as a mod…

      When will Ozbargain finally integrate with MySpace?

        That's after ICQ & AOL integrations.

    Our ozbargain Twitter or x? has been restarted and is now posting all deals that reach 30+ votes.

    There is now a Telegram account posting all new deals.
