As any good Twitter user knows, the service is notoriously unreliable. Sure, they can have uptime of 99.9%, but that’s not really good enough for a microblogging service.
Ever since I started twitting[1. I understand that most people use the verb "tweet" instead of "twit" when referring to using the service, but only the latter satisfies my penchant for abbreving words.], I’ve been torn about whether something is more appropriate for a blog post or a twit. Some hold that it is possible—and perhaps even commonplace—to twit too often, and things too inane. I most certainly do not fall into that category, although I cannot substantiate that with examples of inane twits, because the damn service is down.
Trying to load the webpage, all I see is that damn whale graphic:
“There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness.”
Kind of embarrassing that I had to Google for Moby Dick quotes, because I never read the book myself. I mean, had the folks at Twitter decided to use an albatross graphic or something, I’d be all over that. But so it goes.
I shall suffer through this madness by constantly refreshing When Twitter Is Down.
When Twitter Is Down rocks.
When Twitter is down, I don’t know who I am anymore.
When Twitter is down, clouds robot sperm bird.
When Twitter is down, your followers forget you ever existed.
I just keep craving its tough love.
My favorites:
Great websites please me.
Hm, ordered lists get parsed out somehow. Gotta look into that.
This post is a veritable sandwich of lols. First, the post itself. Then, you used a footnote. Lastly, within the footnote, you used “abbreved” to describe abbreving abbrevs.
Seriously though I’m mostly just here to see the brit flag show up next to my name. £2 for an hour of internet access plus I get to eavesdrop on roughly 3,000 different sweet accents among perhaps 6 languages.
