Twitter fast-tracks move to 64-bit messaging - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "Fast growth has prompted micro-blogging site Twitter to speed up its transition to a 64-bit-based system for its Direct Message IDs.
In a blog post, the Twitter API team advised developers that direct messages, just like tweets, would become 64-bit "Snowflake" IDs starting September 30.
"(W)e'll begin using Snowflake for direct message IDs beginning one week from today, on September 30, 2011. This transition cannot be delayed or waylaid and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may put on applications not already utilizing the string-based identifier representations or relying on 32-bit integers," it said."
