I'm disgusted by you guys. Were any of you around in 2007 when Twitter was down nonstop? Did you bitch and moan as much then? You're acting like children. The reason they are still facing issues is because of the DDoS. Oh, and they are still also coping with scaling overall and astronomical growt

It is true, perception at this time is very important - even more actually. Annoyed people can make hasty choices, write unfavorable articles etc. So as crappy as it is to keep feeding us all updates, it's worth it a 100 fold in the long run especially since Twitter's business is based

Nice story Adam, however the band are actually trying to run a business, not doing this for love/free. I can assure you the investors in Twitter will be looking to turn profit. Of course if the band are laid up then the danger is the hotdog man (and all his customers) will go to another ban

I agree, and I know the Twitter Ops guys are probably exhausted and working around the clock to keep the system running. I have the utmost respect for it having been responsible for a website before that suffered from DDoS attacks on occasion. Twitter.com seems to be running pretty well right no
