Thanks... - Tatiana Joiro

Umm.... If it's lasted 90 minutes, I would think it no longer qualifies as 'breaking news'. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Thanks for sharing. I'm here in FriendFeed wondering why it is all so quiet :) - Hector

Tina: You want us to post every minute Twitter goes down? You'd be flooded! :) - BreakingNewsOn (MSNBC)

BNO: lol. nice one. and thanks for still posting on FF and not just sticking to via the twitter mode. - Freddie Benjamin

Answer the BreakingNews Robot, Tina! DO IT OR IT WILL CRASH FRIENDFEED LIKE IT DID TWITTER! - Christopher Harley

Certainly not BNO. But the Twitter/FB/Posterous outage has been posted multiple times by multiple people all morning, so adding your own post 1.5 hours after the fact just didn't strike me as 'breaking news'. That's all. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

You can still read tweets on Twitter about Twitter being down: http://bit.ly/lA7HK - Gus

BNbot is far less stable than Happy Fun Ball. - Christopher Harley

How about the biggest beneficiary of the Twitter DoS will be --- FF! - Thom Kennon

Facebook seems to be experiencing some difficulties as well. A link perhaps? - Ian Geldard

As soon as Twitter's status blog confirmed the DoS attack, my first destination was FriendFeed. This just confirms that the value of microblogging isn't in one service like Twitter or FF, it's in having a network of interconnected services. - Jayson Elliot

Twitter API is working again, web is still offline. We use our own panel to update to Twitter and it said my message was posted: "The social networking site Twitter says it is recovering from a major cyber attack, taking the popular site offline for more than 2 hours.". Didn't go through to Friendfeed though. - BreakingNewsOn (MSNBC)

Thank goodness for FriendFeed, I can still get my BNO News updates! - Colin Schmitt

Still nothing here. Neither from web nor API... :'( - Clément

OMG what am I gonna do! Somebody get me a paper bag! - okorioth

Twitter addicts are probably refreshing twitter.com every 5 seconds, putting another load on the server which keeps it from getting back online :) - BreakingNewsOn (MSNBC)

I can live without it, for two reasons - a) I know no one is posting anything right now anyway, and b) I'm on FriendFeed. - Mike White

Ohhhh. You are not going to believe this. It's breaking news on the AFP news wire! - BreakingNewsOn (MSNBC)

i just had a piece published by Huffington Post and this outage disturbs my ability to share my post with my followers and the community at large ;((( if anyone is interested..http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zachary... - Zachary Adam Cohen

you can tweet it later Zachary, don't worry. - Mike White

They should unplug the servers from internet and then fix them... :) - S6.
