Louis And in other news, FriendFeed, Facebook and... - Louis Gray

Welp. Here we are! How's tricks, Louis? =) - Jolie O'Dell

Them tricks be played out! :) - Louis Gray

I see Twitter being down, for many folks, like a power outage. Everyone stops... rubs their eyes, looks around, and eventually picks up a book. :) - Louis Gray

Pretty much. I was polling people about something, but I guess I could go... uh... - Jolie O'Dell

Hacked by "Iranian Cyber Army" according to TechCrunch -http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Atul Arora

I am mainly curious to see if Google/Feedburner will automatically tweet my new blog post now. That's why I even found out, because I checked. - Louis Gray

Yes, Atul. (See the Google Reader share on my feed) - Louis Gray

Louis - my bad. Was lazy not to scroll down to the bottom of the screen :) - Atul Arora

...and I'm sure FriendFeed, Facebook, and Google Reader are seeing increased traffic just right now. - Claudio Sennhauser

Then you should be using Lazyfeed! http://www.lazyfeed.com. :) - Louis Gray

I got an error from DISQUS when I posted to your blog - Ankush Narula

Totally. Where else we gonna go? FriendFeed is, in that sense and to some people, like Twitter's less hot but totally more willing friend. Dang. - Jolie O'Dell

Ankush, I got your comment, successfully. - Louis Gray

Yes, no one will hack FriendFeed. - Jose Alvear

Jolie, FriendFeed is much hotter, but there is an entrance fee and bouncers. - Louis Gray

++ Louis. - Micah

yes... it posted to DISQUS... but I get a cross-site pop-up from DISQUS that wanted me to reconfigure my twitter connection - Ankush Narula

Are we still talking about apps?? - WorldofHiglet

Louis is right - I've seen peeps get bounced. Good times :) - Micah

Question is: How many blog posts will get written about it? And how many will have BREAKING in the headline? And... what's the point? :) - Louis Gray

Isn't a daily Twitter outage almost expected these days... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

This seems like a bit more than the regular outage. Am I wrong? - David Damore

oh one more ... Twitter is like a really hot chick with a heart condition and tendency to get raped every now and then... - Ankush Narula

A tendency to get raped... Yup. I'm definitely over the Internet for tonight. Peace, y'all! - Jolie O'Dell

I predict FriendFeed traffic back up this month :-) - Jesse Stay

Why isn't there ever a Farmville outage, it has more people and money is even involved.... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Louis, my question is how will you ironically work the word BREAKING into one of your blog posts by tomorrow. *taps toe...* - Micah

Is it a requirement, Micah? - Louis Gray

Interesting that http://search.twitter.com/ seems to be working fine. - David Damore

++Micah. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF from iPhone

BREAKING HEADLINE: Twitter is currently DEAD. Scoble is not getting smarter right now! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

nice - Ankush Narula

The phrase "twitter is down" shows results from third party clients, but none from Web. http://search.twitter.com/search... - Louis Gray

looks like a DNS poisoning attack: curl -H'Host: twitter.com' http://66.147.242.88 - Paul Lindner

Tech Crunch: "Update III: It is suggested that if you use the same password on your Twitter account with other accounts, now would be a good time to change your password on those other accounts. Because of the scale of this hack, it can only be assumed right now that Twitter has been completely compromised." - David Damore

Louis, yes, it's practically required now - MaryB voted on it! - Micah

Somehow, I just got a new Twitter follower 1 minute ago. :) - Louis Gray

Was it @IranianCyberArmy ? - Ankush Narula

hehe - WorldofHiglet

Back up for me - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

And now that Twitter's back up, I'm going down for the night. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

So do we now know how long Robert Scoble can hold his breath? - Keith Rowland

FriendFeed is pretty lame... I'm switching back to twitter... - Ankush Narula

"friendship to everyone" in your bio out of date? :D - Micah

:-D - Ankush Narula

Google Reader is borked in Chrome at the moment. - Raphae˥

That's unpossible! - Louis Gray

I'm as surprised as you. - Raphae˥

Well not completely. For my main use of Friendfeed, it's not. I use FF to update Twitter accounts (several) from Yahoo Pipes, and it stopped working almost 24 hours ago. - Ignacio Rodriguez de R,
