OMG! WTF?! Twitter fell down! bbq?

What will tu interweb do, its quintessential web 2.0 micro blogging system is DOA? Trundle on I suspect. Are we surprised though? No. Not really, Twitter does this. Some people out there are going through withdraws right now. They can't talk, can't communicate! OMG, they are deaf and mute all because a web site is down! How sad.

Twitter has it's problems to be sure, mostly that it goes down all to often IMO (and when it does the badge breaks things *eh hem*). On the other hand it's fun, and that makes it cool. Amazingly millions of users continue to use Twitter despite its' annoying habit of choking on itself. Or is it? Twitter personifies the "Social Web", facilitating 'real-time' communication with hundreds of people at a time. People who care!!! .... That you are currently taking a shower and singing badly??

Regardless there were millions of users when I started this that all let out a resounding scream because their "friends" couldn't hear them. They Tweeted, then realized, "OMG!!! I'm disconnected!!!" When Twitter comes back, could be already, I'm sure the same group will let out a great resounding sigh of relief. They can continue their lives. Their friends will here them, know that they are okay, and care! Me? I'm getting ready for a meeting...

sigh...
