I have a C# project in which I make a Bit.ly API call to read the share count of my bit.ly links. I ran the executable at home, and there is no problem reading the sharecounts of 4 different links which takes less than 4 seconds to complete. When I take the same executable to work, and run it, the program timesout after 10 seconds on the first link.
Is this some sort of network/security thing that is causing this? I downloaded a sample project that uses different code and it seems to work maybe 30-40% of the time; otherwise it too times out.
Confused.
Most likely this is an issue of security or bandwidth restriction / black lists.
