If there were an earthquake in SF, Twitter would probably go down then, too. Right now, no eqrthquake here, so what's Twitter's excuse today? ;-) - Cathryn Hrudicka
They should atleast put a note on blog.twitter.com (it seems to be running on blogger.com) to let people know it is down. - Atul Arora
oh sorry Steve, to interrupt your precious feed with our "chatter". thought the comment link was for comments. my bad. - chris ramey
friendfeed should buy twitter show them uptime :) - Jay Martinez via twhirl
no earthquake, just Belgium that is spliting .... no... just kidding :-) - damienvanachter via twhirl
FriendFeed would take over. So would Jaiku and Pownce. - Robert Scoble
It's probably due to the heat. It's so damn hot in the bay area today :( Milk would be a bad choice. - Adam Nelson
I would agree with Scoble. But if Twitter is becoming so critical, why not put servers on the East Coast and In AZ just to cover all bases? - Mike Wills
@scoble Hey what happened to Jaiku? Didnt Google buy them? I never hear anyone mention it. I get adds on other sites but not Jaiku. - Britney Mason
Aside from the Kerouac cool digital nomads paid enough at least to sit in Starbucks, there are a lot of us digital workers paid by word and it's like any piece work, without any benefits or insurance. Walled institutions are good for giving you health insurance. - Prokofy Neva
I checked it and all signs point to Yes. :) - Morton Fox
So why aren't people moving to Pownce? - Fernando via twhirl
They probably are...The twitter faithful scatter when it goes down. Some go to Pownce, some go to Jaiku, some come here, some catch up on email or RSS... it varies. - Bwana McCall
They confirmed it on their mailing list - today's and yesterdays outages are due to caching issues - Jesse Stay via twhirl
woot ! Twitter is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..c.c......TIME OUT Hold on, no it's not - Shaf
