Life without Twitter
It’s been a very odd feeling this morning.
Twitter’s been down and I’ve missed it more than I’d have expected.
I’ve not been able to get a sneakly look at sentiment from last night’s TV Burp. I’ve been unable to share our stories (Twitter counts for about 15% of Mumbrella’s traffic). And I don’t even have email addresses for some of my sources.
According to ITN it’s because of a denial of service attack on Twitter, and Facebook was also affected:
I saved up all my best ‘eating my breakfast’ anecdotes for a huge update session.
I’ve been keeping track of what’s going on with this breaking story in real time via Twi….hang on a minute
I was trying to tweet during a boring meeting and was unable to. So I went to the toilet instead. Disturbing.
i cant wait till its denied of service forever
Stockholm syndrome!
Ive said it before and i’ll say it again, twitter is for twits, you fucking idiots are pathetic.
I actually think that Twitter is the worst of social networking media inventions, Web 2.0 or whatever they call it now.
All I have to say to those who are against Twitter is simply this… do you have a mobile phone? it was only fifteen years back that anyone with a phone was frowned upon… the sterotyped rich bloke squarking “Yes John, I’m in the city, talking to you on my *pause for dramatic effect* MOBILE PHONE!” Even now I see some people hide away as they answer their phones… Down the track everyone has them, partly because they do what we want them to and partly due to the spin-doctoring the advertising companies did. after personally eating up the twitter-backlash about how craptastic it was, I tried it, and have found that it’s definately a useful way to keep in touch… BTW, if you say “why don’t you get a life and meet in real life” I could ask you to toss your mobile and drive to your boss/wife/girlfriend/mate etc too.
Wolfie!
Have a phone, have a life but not a twitter, not the same thing mate. work it out
