Twitter is down and no fail whale image apepars either.
It’s the first time ever that as domainers we are being forced to report that twitter has been down today more times than an Essex girl’s knickers.
If you don’t know what an Essex girl’s reputation is, you haven’t lived yet. 😀
The truth is, that social media such as twitter and facebook command so much of the daily global traffic, that disruption of their services has severe side-effects, withdrawal symptoms and instant resort to other methods of communication, such as emails or blog posts.
Heck, some people might actually use the phone as an alternative.
On the other hand, if twitter stays down even longer, we might finally experience some peace and quiet in the Middle East; the recent uprising in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain and Libya have been channeled through twitter and other social media networks.
Is the West creating a real life revolution though 140 character messages?
Hey, there’s a reason our knickers are down – we need to keep our ankles warm!
Actually, I always understood that it was the top of Essex girls that doubt was (very unfairly) cast on, not their lower regions. More research needed. 🙂
