OMG – Twitter is DOWN!!!

by Erica on May 8, 2009

So a couple of minutes ago I was trying to send a direct message to Kelsey Ruger using Tweetie, but I kept getting an error message.  I went to Twitter and I saw this message (of course I’ve seen this message lots of times over the last 3 years):

So I decided to login to Facebook to see if maybe the conversations had moved over there.  I also logged into Plurk.  And sure enough both sites were lively with discussions about how Twitter was down.  Below are a few screenshots I took in the last few minutes.

The funniest part was that suddenly my Facebook comments went through the roof – here’s a small snapshot of my current inbox:
