is twitter overwhelmed?

We fought it. We resisted. But now we’ve capitulated to the twitter tsunami and have ‘twitterized’ digitalmissive. During the process, though, we’ve noticed something - twitter seems to ‘bounce’ a lot (network-speak for short sporadic outages).
Not surprising, given the numbers: Nielsen has February year-over-year twitter usage growth at 1,374%. That’s well over a factor of 10.
Amazing - and that’s not counting the countless tweets that will now be coming from the new and improved digitalmissive….
In the meantime, will short-term outages contribute to a backlash against the service?
And hey don’t forget to tweet this article - if the twitter’s up at the time.
