We have an opportunity to watch a wonderful process in action. A unbelievably successful technology company is screwing it up. And it's big, and it's public, and in this day and age where venture capitalists are able to provide $10 million in funding on a whim of an idea, the fact that a web site can be down ALL THE TIME - having down time every single day for months and months... is a wonderful thing to watch.

Of course, I am talking about twitter. Oh and please follow me, when the site comes back up since it is currently down, http://www.twitter.com/scottjduffy.

Now it's entirely possible that twitter has such a loyal following that are willing to forgive it's frequent screw-ups. And that the site will fix it's problems in short order. And that none of this will come to pass.
