Since the beginning of Twitter time, the company has used sequential IDs for tweets. This has helped some third party services come up with rough estimates as to the total number of tweets there were on Twitter (though it was always a bit inaccurate since they've done huge jumps a few times). But starting today, that will change as Twitter's new status ID system, Snowflake, is in the process of rolling live. Twitter Developer Advocate Matt Harris reminded developers of the change late last night in a Google Group posting. The roll-out was scheduled for 10 AM PT today, but an update from the TwitterAPI account notes that "Snowflake is on ice for the moment" and promises an update soon.
