What’s Up with Twitter Lately?

How many times can the Fail Whale show up?

How many times can that Fail Whale show up in one day?

All I wanted to do was set up a new Twitter profile for a magazine. It’s a simple task that has taken me all day because Twitter keeps put-putting along slowly, then passing out like a narcoleptic heroin addict.

The cutsie artwork is a nice enough change from most web error messages, but the charm wears off after a while. Plus I start to feel bad for the birds having to fly this whale in so often. Look at him, he hasn’t a care in the world.

Did Twitter not buy enough server capacity? Did they not read the reports about their own growth? Could this be a tactic to discourage Google from buying?

Yeah, I doubt it too.

Anyway, I’m done venting. I’ll just schedule everything thru Twuffer and let nature (no matter how technologically advanced she may be) take her course.

Tweet Tweet!

    If there is a Chinese-language version then there would be a much larger take up in Taiwan. I am sure this applies to latin countries too
