Twitter And FriendFeed Battle For Downtime. Scoble’s Head Explodes.

May 08, 2009

Summary

We all know about Twitter’s downtime today. It was a scheduled maintenance service that was supposed to last for about an hour. Sure enough, after about an hour, Twitter came back, but only partially. Over the past hour since it’s been back it’s been up and down, but mostly down. And now there’s another problem, FriendFeed is down too.

FriendFeed, aka, the first alternative to talk about Twitter when Twitter is down, has completely lost contact with its data center, co-founder Bret Taylor tells me. They’re investigating the problem right now. But where are we supposed to turn? Facebook? Scoble most being going crazy right now.
