A new kind of Twitter outage
I wasn’t sure there was an outage until I read this post on ParisLemon and then this on CNET. I noticed it last night when I came back from a seder after posting a picture from a gas station with a very funny name (or so I thought). Usually when I post a pic to Twitter, even a boring one, even in the middle of the weekend, between 300 and 400 people visit (Flickr keeps track). This time only 60 people had clicked on the link.
Same thing happened with a picture of Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Mike Godwin that I took at the French Hotel in Berkeley yesterday, and a post-seder movie walk through an amazing candy store in Lafayette, taken with my new camera (it takes great movies too).
I also noticed that some of my twits from Friday night were gone. And I had said some controversial things that no one had agreed with or objected to.
Usually when Twitter goes down you get a screen saying it’s gone, but this is a new kind of outage, and obviously not a good thing.
