So there I was about to answer @heatheringemar’s lovely supportive tweet about my cake-resistance efforts tonight, as well as tweeting my previous post, when Twitter suddenly inexplicably fell over. No fail whale, no nothin’, just suddenly I couldn’t get through.

Anyway, y’all, if you can’t get through to Twitter tonight, this is very probably why. I don’t envy Twitter’s support team right now; they must be having a very stressful night!

Twitter’s problem was just so weird! I think I logged off before it happened, but hearing the reports of other twitter-peeps… It’s just weird! lol.
Yeah, I just barely missed the direct fun myself! I only got the evidence of what had happened via Fandom Lounge and then Dara’s own investigatory pokings. :)
I’m glad they got it resolved quickly. Dara was thinking somebody is so VERY FIRED if Twitter’s DNS records were that easily hackable.
No kidding.
If Twitter had been down for any length of time, I would have gone into withdrawls. :P
Ha, I know the feeling! It’s mitigated for me somewhat in that I’m also on Facebook and several forms of blogging… but there’s just something about Twitter. :)
