Summary

Last year Steve Jobs’ MacWorld keynote put Twitter to bed. This year, even in the absence of Jobs, Twitter still can’t seem to handle the pressure of the buzz worthy event.

If you’re like us, you probably noticed that Twitter stopped updating around 10:30am PT. Instead of fail whales swimming across Twitter streams the world round, we’re noticing that things “appear” normal even though updates have come to a complete standstill.

Twitter is obviously aware of the malfunction, and they’re hopefully doing everything they can to restore service. Meanwhile, the keynote is over, Twitter is dead silent, and FriendFeed is still alive and kicking, no downtime, no sad status message.

Thanks for the update Twitter, but you had a whole year to prepare for this event. Shame on you.
