In the unlikely event you're not aware,twitter went down this morning due to a DOS attack from (suspected) Zombies, Bots, infected computers, etc.

I'm embarrassed to admit I felt a bit crippled. How can I push my opinions onto the world at large and feed my need for information without it? Oh... thats right, I can just "talk" to someone.. (devonpalmer on twitter/facebook)

Anyone else missing it?

As long as it's back up before the weekend I'll be OK. Missing out on people's Lollapalooza pics and updates will make me very sad :(

Ah cool, my attack worked. Just part of my evil plan for world domination. All your twitter are belong to us!

If only JonMyers had taken his walk a little bit later, he might have prevented this...

It appears to be back up for me..

I noticed the outage, but it didn't really bother me all that much. I did wonder what was happening, but I wasn't really bothered by it.

I noticed that FB was also very slow and intermittently out..

He always struck me as a rather experienced hardcore ball sucker.

The biggest complaints in this thread seem to be coming from you. Why don't you just ignore this one if it's something you claim to care so little about?

Because his commentary here is so creative and original, mind-bogglingly so.

Unlike other people in threads where he cries about people picking on him...

Hey everybody, hop on the bus - it's a good look!

Anyways, sharing an unwarranted/unpopular opinion of a subject on a CU thread is hardly unique on this forum.

Sooo...fucking get over it? Moving on...

i will have to agree with snarf on this one, so i shall become the second one on this thread to bash twitter. it's silly and will die a slow, painful death once twits find something other shiny new toy.
