Well, I know many palms have become itchy not being able to post updates on Twitter. Looks like Twitter is suffering from a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
They have been providing the status of their service over here..
We are defending against a denial-of-service attack, and will update status again shortly.
Aren’t such high traffic sites supposed to be guarded from the most basic of all attacks – the DoS? Probably, some @Mr.Human or @stupidworldthisis is responsible for this nasty attack!? Oh, just kidding..
Moral: Hmm, even giants do trip and fall flat!
Good luck twitter….’ll keep refreshing every other hour!
Well, testing out the JS-kit commenting system. Hope they don’t disappoint me like Disqus! Can you guys check this out and comment a word or two? Also, let me know if this is fast enough or terribly slow commenting system. Thanks guys!
[...] did you do when twitter went down for a few hours? Refreshed the browser every other minute for 30 minutes. Then checked every hour. [...]
