What Did Hitler Do When Twitter Went Down?
April 7th, 2009
As I write this post, twitter is down. It has not been down for a long, long, long time. When twitter first started out it used to go down twice a week or more for long periods of time. Do you remember the twitter fail whale?
Twitter Fail Whale
Currently on their website they state that they should be up in an hour or so.
Twitter is currently down for unscheduled maintenance.
We expect to be back in about an hour. Thanks for your patience.

Now that twitter is down it reminds me of a video depicting how unreliable twitter used to be.
If twitter wants to grow up one day and start monetizing and maybe become a real search engine, with an ad platform they better figure out how to keep their website up at all times, google and yahoo don’t seem to have that problem.
Update: Twitter is back up.
