A Fracking Understatement

Twitter is surely loosing fans left and right, and really ought to be sharing more info than this crappy screen. Heck, I;’d rather see the cat in the server picture.
I know! It was the severe twittering at the ELI EDUCAUSE conference that did in the system (yeah right).
Someone (Google? Yahoo) buy these guys and get them more servers or pipes or magic pixie dust.
My habit is suffering, I might have to resort yo doing work.
Twitter, get yer _____ together. The vultures are circling.

Seriously. I’m going to be asking for a full refund. I might even contact the BBB to put these guys on the watch list.

Man, the one day I call in sick (cough, cough) and Twitter goes down! What kind of sick joke is this? This is just not right.

You said it brother, I’m trying to keep a little of the ELI love thang going, but it this keeps up, I’ll have no choice but to start responding to all that email I’ve been ignoring.

Exactly.
If Twitter ever works long enough for you to notice, I tweeted about this earlier today http://twitter.com/JeffreyKeefer before this happened yet again. They either need VC funding to fix the infrastructure or management enough to figure out their next steps.

SO VERY frustrating. Maybe that’s why they changed ISPs the middle of last night?
