Looking To See if Twitter is Down?
Twitter had a hiccup again. Remember you can always check if Twitter is down at http://status.twitter.com
Everyone is googling for “Is Twitter Down” and finding this article I did on Gmail being down so I’ve updated it with the link to Twitter’s status page. I’m doing a live update of the Twitter dowtime.
=========================================================
Gmail Was Down Today
Gmail had an outage today. Like the ones before, it seemed to be a “rolling outage” since accounts are not on the same servers, maybe not even in the same data centers.
jimdittmer: GMail down, as was mobileMe mail earlier. Hope this isn’t a trend… Conspiracy by the Post Office?!?

MRJBennett: Co-worker getting paranoid. Some GMail down (not for me), Hotmail off and on, my S3 was out
this morning and now the lights are flickering.

HighTechDad: Funny how now Twitter becomes the defacto validation of things (gmail down, earthquakes, etc.). Twitter can’t validate itself being down…

brandonhauber: Gmail is back but I now realize having domain mail hosted at gmail with a personal gmail as backup is not the best idea.
