Facebook was down at the same time. I wonder if the Iranian government has targeted both sites for some reason today? .-= Bruce (GayPatriot)´s last blog ..My “Fishy” Letter To The White House Today =-.

Actually, twitter.com is still down, or at the very least refusing the load and throwing out errors. Maybe it’s a UK thing.

What will all the tweeters do with nobody reading their updates? Maybe it’s time for a new form of twitter, that actually has the back-end structure to survive these kinds of attacks at least a little better.

I’ve never been through a detox program, but I am beginning to understand the concept of “the shakes”. I guess I can fill my day communicating the old fashioned way – through email. Thanks for the update/confirmation Andy!

Twitter is down, hrm. So, what happens now to all the Tweeters out there wanting to display what they are doing?

Do they actually get back to work?

No, they are heading over to Facebook.

Wait, this isn’t like the real Twitter. There are no scantily clad women in these profiles. And I haven’t seen one link for a money-making scam yet. What are you trying to pull here, Mr. Beal?

@Lisa – sorry, I forgot the “everyone except THE Lisa” caveat. Besides, I know you know how to behave here.

Did you really just encourage me to use your comment section like I would Twitter? Because…I’d so totally do that and you don’t want it.

@Frank – “I can’t live, if living is without Twitter” isn’t that how the song goes?
