So instead of a Fail Whale, what do we call this? Moan Cone? Squirm Worm? - Abbas Haider Ali
last 2 days have been bad twitter-wise - I don't even get a graphic, just 'failed to open page'..:( But I still have FF :) - WorldofHiglet
@Abbas "Moan cone" elicits entirely different images in my mind :p - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I don't even get a graphic :( - Aram Zucker-Scharff
"Moan Cone" = wins - David Bisset
I called it fail snail, but not accurate. Someone else (Tina) called it, perfectly, CONE OF SILENCE. - Brian Carter
...or the caterpillar of doom - WorldofHiglet
Someone should totally hack twitter's "twitter is down" notices with a "why not pop over to friendfeed instead" redirect. - Slippy Lane
I have to concur with "Moan Cone." I'm following fewer people on FF so I feel like I'm stepping into a mostly empty pantry. I have my favorite cereals but no chips or hearty Chef Boy Ardee meals. - Cam
Add Identi.ca for a bit. - Helen Sventitsky

Twitter down. 3 million tweeple working again. Economic indicators jump. - Mike Lizun
It's funny. I'm in FF now because of the "Moan Cone" and all i can think of is "look at all the potential people I can follow on Twitter". I need the "Betty Ford" equal to Twitter addiction. - David Bisset
No need for interventions, David! Better to follow people here and you get their tweets plus all their other lovely activity, too. YouTube, blogs, flickr, memes, songs, podcasts.....so much content..... - WorldofHiglet
so why do DB maintenance in the middle of the day? - Steve Mann

Yea I mentioned that too -- Who does DB maint during peak hours? I doubt this was planned. - andy brudtkuhl
How do you tweet that Twitter is down when Twitter is really down? :-) - Zoli Erdos
I seriously doubt this was a "planned" maintenance as they would have posted a message well in advance... this is an UNplanned event, like most twitter outages. - Susan Beebe
