We have been saved of the horrendous memories associated to the Fail Whale. Twitter was down for almost an hour and micro-blog that only made it to the 100 most visited sites in the UK had all sorts of excuses; from technical issue to regular database management. It’s safe for now, working as it usually does. I guess the idea of charging companies for using the service wasn’t digested at all by it, leading to a failure in service. The good news is that it didn’t last that long as it has in the past and users can just tweet their updates again. Just in case you get to see this more frequently, do give Twiddict a try as it lines up all your updates and publishes once Twitter is up and flying.
