Twitter hasn’t been runing all that smoothly this week. The Twitter Blog admits this. At this time, they’re not sure what the problem is.
I feel for the Twitter team. Here’s hoping they figure out what the problem is. Their blog says they’ll be putting in more instrumentation to try to determine what’s going on. Sounds reasonable. I’m guessing that as they peek and poke at the system that it changes the behaviour though. That’s a total guess. I’m also guessing that someone’s not going to get much sleep tonight. Hang in there!
