The System Is Down

No Twitter? I guess I'll just have to work.

It was a bummer to see this on my desktop this morning.

At first I thought the Twitter FAIL was more of a Internet FAIL, which happens at the office from time to time- I mean the Internet is a series of tubes right? Sometimes they get clogged up.

So remember, it’s not something you just dump something on- it’s not a big truck.

Facebook was not down, but it was acting wonky, so I went online, to any site still online, to find out what was going on. Techcrunch reports that Twitter is currently coping witha  Denial of Service attack. Others are also acknowledging that LiveJournal and Facebook have also suffered- whether it’s also due to an attack is unclear.

So until things get resolve it looks like the system is down.
