[QUOTE=mi2g]Twitter was shut down for hours Thursday afternoon GMT by what it described as an ongoing denial of service attack. In a one sentence statement on its status blog, Twitter said, “We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.” The outage appeared to have affected users around the world. Whilst the world does not come to a complete standstill as a result of the Twitter DDoS outage, its impact is going to be felt far and wide. The popular short messaging service, compared to the telegraph in the 19th century, has become an integral part of the global communications environment![/QUOTE] [b]Source:[/b][url]http://www.mi2g.com/cgi/mi2g/frameset.php?pageid=http%3A//www.mi2g.com/cgi/mi2g/press/060809.php[/url] Isn't this fun? Oh, also, from the source: [QUOTE=mi2g][Twitter] is an integral part in Global Communications![/QUOTE] If by Integral you mean contains useless updates on people's lives when you really don't care, then sure! :v: Granted, it can be useful for keeping up with your friends or Following [sp]See: Stalking[/sp] that Hawt Chick from school, but it also seems like a site based around Facebook Status'. [editline]06:54PM[/editline] Well that didn't last long, Twitter appears to be back up and running again. Pack your stuff, let's go home :frown:.

[QUOTE=Echidna666;16521788]I like twitter :mad:[/QUOTE] Funnily enough, I signed up just recently and it was being DDoS'd :v:
I can see a lot of posts in the 'If is popular its shit' category popping up in this thread.
Bandwagoning retards will post anything to seem part of the majority. OMG TWETR IS GHE! I use twitter, it's a cool guy, eh shots updated status on where I'm doing cool shit and doesn't afraid of anything.

[quote]Bandwagoning retards will post anything to seem part of the majority. OMG TWETR IS GHE![/quote] You're a bandwaggoning non-bandwagonner. Just because a vast majority of people have the same opinion doesn't mean they're getting on a bandwaggon. And yes, Twitter is mostly shit. There's a few gems in there, but Twitter is just another overhyped site like Facebook.
This is disgusting. I love Twitter and this kind of behavior should not be tolerated. I love tweeting about useless things, such as when I'm about to take a shit.

For what it is twitter is shit. It's usefull for seeing the lives of national treasures (See:Steven Fry). But that's it. All people who use twitter need to understand this [highlight]NO ONE CARES.[/highlight]
I don't want to bring a child into the world where I can't tell everyone that I'm watching TV :suicide:

Calling something a bandwagon is a bandwagon.

I like Twitter because it allowed one of the moderators from Steam Forums to give us updates on what was happening at E3.
Good! I hate twitter. Makes everyone's life further complicated.
