It seems that everyday now there is a problem with Twitter. Not too long ago I heard John C Dvorak say that if the public jumps on twitter it will go down. Is that what is happening? Today their main database, db006, went down. I always know something is wrong when Twhirl wont let me get tweets even if I haven’t gone over the limit.

It seems from the comments that people are pretty understanding when it comes to twitter downtime. I tend to agree with them, to a certain point. Free services such as Wordpress.com have brought expectations up on free services. Although, the downtime can be quite frustrating.

Why can’t they just get some decent hardware and produce some better uptime? I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to raise some money.

• just got twhirl, it looks great #


• i guess i’ll go with the Tweet app on myspace. looks like they’ll never approve mine #


• for some reason i can’t come up with a website design that i like #

I’m done with the daily Twitter post. First I had every update updating as it’s own post. It was fine for a while, but when I stated Twittering more all the Tweets on the blog became too much. So i swithched to updating it once a day with all the posts from that day. It was still too much though. So I’ve decided to get rid of it. I’m not removing twitter from the site completely though. I’m currently in the process of looking for a good plugin that will show my Twitter feed in the sidebar, so if you know of a good plugin to do that let me know.
