Twitter Not Working Again

An enormous amount of information travels through twitter's servers 24/7 and so when Twitter is unavailable people notice. Among the most likely of causes is one of the web's "usual suspects" - denial-of-service attacks. A critical network upgrade sometimes is called for and must be performed to ensure continued operation of Twitter.

None of my tweets have been registering since this morning. This seems to happen every weekend. At least I can post to my blog via email, thanks to my friend Bai Ling. I find it so incredibly simple. Easy and convenient to post via cellphone as opposed to tethering myself to my PC. Next time there's something to liveblog about, I'm definitely going to do it this way!
