FriendFeed was recently reported with a serious glitch in their system, and having to halt services. Where the services was reported down, people were sharing tweets about it – although some time back when Twitter was having these problems, people would use FriendFeed to talk about it, funny I know. Here’s what the co-founder, Bret Taylor, had to say:

“We had a major failure with one of our back-ends. We are in the process of restoring. We hope to have it back very soon.”

and here’s a technical explanation of what Taylor left as an update on a FriendFeed thread:

“Server 1: I am getting sick of all this serving crap. Server 2: I am too. Let’s simultaneously fail right now. Server 3: Hey, great idea! Server 4: Don’t leave me out!”
