Twitter now down in addition to folks losing huge numbers of people they follow and followers. I'd take a shot but this is too easy.

This might be the straw, or nail, or, well, you know. Actually breaking all the connections destroys the value. Let's let it die and move here.

wow, I hope those connections are backed up!

@Jamie If they were not, would this be the end of twitter?

Twitter, ah yes, I remember Twitter -- from wayyyy back in the olden days -- back when John McCain was still in diapers and dinosaurs ruled the earth right?

a lot of contemporary problems would be solved if we can accept that DNA "DOES" decide certain things. It is not bigoted of me to say that being Jewish gives me access to certain DNA that does certain things. Mark Davidson is wrong! DNA is like twitter... is twitter's architecture evil? No... only if you get hysterical about it and start bullying people about what they can do with their...

wish I could use it... but I was thrown out of that country club a long time ago.

Michael, what did you see re "losing huge numbers" of followers? Obviously with Twitter down for maintenence now, we can't see.

I wonder if the twittering at F8 caused the outage
- Bob Gannon
I suppose I should no longer be shocked, but I am, that they remain obstinately silent during these issues. GIve me some comfort that things are not really lost, give me the bad news already...but give me something. Free PR advice: crisis communications is a large field for a reason; you're going to be the poster child for how NOT to do it and, i fear, the consequences thereof. Trust is falling...

At some point people are going to get tired and move on. Twitter set up a status blog but doesn't seem to communicate what is really going on well at all.

f8 plus OSCON equals FailWhale. Bummer.

I don't know about anyone else, but I just checked my email and I have about 30 or so follow notices from obvious spammers from twitter. This outage could be the result of an attack. Edit: I restarted my twitter account yesterday, btw.

I sure hope when it comes back things will be restored to normal... but I fear not. Might try something else out, just for kicks. God knows there are enough alternatives.

See http://status.twitter.com - " Missing followers 1 hour ago Folks are reporting problems with missing followers - that is, seeing the follower counts drop on their profile pages. We’re looking into this now. Update: We’re going to go into maintenance mode to correct this problem."

FriendFeed is so I can tell all my Twitter followers to join me on identi.ca ;)
- Jesse Stay
In case you didn't know, there is an auto-subscribe option on Identi.ca so you don't have to deal with a large number of subscription requests or whatever. Just sayin.

Yes, everyone join identi.ca so we can prove, again, that a database backed tiered architecture can only scale so far before coming crashing down.

as near as I can tell I lost 800 followers (from last time I noticed the number) and about 100 people I follow.
- Michael Gartenberg
I don't seem to have lost anybody at all. Was 620 this morning, am 620 right now.
- Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
Well, almost two hours later I'm missing about 54 followers and 30 followings. Friends report similar numbers now. Is anybody able to report getting people back?

Waiting Twitter's @ev or @biz or @jack replies :(
- Igor Poltavskiy
I lost about 70! Most that I got within the last 3 weeks! Also lost some that did not exchanged Tweets recently also lost the Spam bots, which I never followed! They restored the database which is 3 weeks old!

According to Twitter the numbers will be fluctuating over the next several days. They've stripped out a lot of spammers. I find it hard to believe 700 of my 2200 followers were spammers though... but, like I say, those numbers may not be an accurate count. I'm still a loyal fan - won't be dumping Twitter .. yet. ;)
- Mari Smith
Maybe Twitter is just an experiment by market psychologists to find out how much failure and disappointment it takes to dispel a loyal brand community?
