I don’t think I’ve ever seen twitter down before.  Of course, rules are made to be broken.  Tonight, as I’m busy working on my twitter script, getting frustated that it isn’t grabbing the update….

Juuust great.

You need to change your signature to I also twitter (if I haven’t broke it)

you obviously haven’t been using twitter for very long!

Like I said, I’ve never seen it down.  Certainly doesn’t mean that it is never down.

I also don’t use it that frequently, so I wouldn’t know.  I was just frustrated last night 😛 .

Twitter is down nearly once a week and it is growing faster than they can fix it. DB problems, API changes and unstable foundation. They are damned by success.

Twitter has horrible uptime.  They recently booted their CTO.  I don’t see how this service will survive.  Scaling costs money and they don’t seem to have a business model.  Also, the service they provide is completely unnecessary.

Actually, twitter has proved it has value in certain situations; microblogging has utility in time-critical situations. However, as the poster child for RoR scalability, it is hemorrhaging street cred with its uptime.

I have to admit that I’ve never ever used or been on Twitter before…
