Andddd it's down again. Oh, and it's 50% of the birds who are wreaking havoc. Although, it is unclear which 50%. Four one way, four the other, and a possibly stoned whale dangling over….red waves? Fly, birdies, fly!!!

He’s right. The twitter page is like a bird(light)What twitter needs now is a whale(big)It’s presently top-heavy so it falls.Unfortunately it can’t be fixed.Once you build a page its done.You have to build a brand new one.And what a page it will be !Wait till you see.Happy hunting.Heigh-ho !

Server overloaded? I don’t think so, this is just a plan to get the ball rolling and they may be thinking in charging or even limiting tweets per day and maybe offer a plus account option that lets you post unlimited tweets. internet is a business and you have to stay alive somehow.

My goodness I’ve been trying to load a profile pic for weeks and it just won’t let me… At least I’m getting a tweet in here and there.

Hmm… That explains it. And here I’ve tried over 30 times to upload a picture to my profile and kept receiving that message. Get your act together, silly birds.

Jeremiah – underneath it all, we are all human beings

I feel for Twitter. They are using the right framework (RoR), good hardware (Sun), but the database seems problematic (mySQL).

But that can be a red herring, even Oracle can crawl to a halt if the application or hardware is not playing ball.
