Twitter Feed Flash Apps are Down

By: Webmaster

Twitter's Flash-based Widget has been disabled by Twitter due to a security-based flaw found in the code.  This means that the widgets we use to display our Twitter Feeds are not working.  We are continuing to use Twitter and encourage you to check our various Twitter sites for more information about things happening around Alamance County.  However, displaying our Twitter Feeds at Alamance-NC.com is a bit of a challenge.

In some cases, we are simply waiting on Twitter to replace the widgets.  However, in some places, we are displaying the RSS feeds in place of the widget.  While the RSS feeds do accurately display the text of the Tweets, the dates are not displayed on our website.

If you click on the individual Tweets, you should be able to see when the Tweet was posted.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.  Unfortunately, this is an issue that is beyond our control and totally out of our hands.  We hope, as you do, that Twitter will be able to fix this flaw quickly and securely.

Our individual Twitter Feeds (as of January 29, 2010) are:

• http://twitter.com/AlamanceNC
• http://twitter.com/ACFireMarshal
