Twitter just went down. Don’t worry, it was planned. It should only be offline for about an hour today but there’s another downtime planned for Monday as well. I’m sitting here not quite sure what do with myself, as I’m sure many of you are. So I’ll go ahead a prepare a list of alternative activities for today and Monday, in order of importance/likelihood:

And then this morning, Australia time, friendfeed was offline due to svcolo datacenter problems. Over here in Oz, we were wondering what the friendfeed equivalent of the failwhale was. Pity Scoble's hulk picture is his normal avatar, because that would be a great failwhale equivalent.

So the ultra amusing thing is: while twitter was still down, FriendFeed went down So we did infact sit on Facebook wondering when the two might come back up. And whether or not it was actually Louis Gray's fault. ;-)

Umm.... a lot of CNN'rs were checking all their social networks tonight, getting real time feedback. Participated myself with someone on the panel via Twitter. Isn't this what they are supposed to do?

Ok, CNN was encouraging people to go to the CNN Facebook app. I see that it's Facebook, a lot of the panel was doing the same. I think VW has it wrong though, that's Toobin.
