Twitter down on web and mobile
- wyclif 11y ago"The company initially confirmed the outage by, somehow, tweeting, from its @support account. We were unable to see the tweet, because Twitter was down."
- tkubacki 11y agoHow big organization have to be to make twitter down - single US agency, Country ?
- gregdoesit 11y agoI was waiting on this to appear on Hacker News. I take to Twitter to complain whenever a service is down. Now that Twitter is down... I guess all that is left is this HN thread.
- soci 11y agoNot so long ago Twitter outages used to happen every now and then. It's quite interesting to see how now everybody expects it to be running 24/7.
- ricksplat 11y agoAh yes "the fail whale" was a common and much loved feature of day to day twife :-)
- airza 11y agoI mean, one part of me has worked on the backend of uber-high-bandwidth computing services and understands that there is no analogue to performance at that scale, and the other part is like "IT PUTS WORDS THAT PEOPLE POSTED ON A BUNCH OF PAGES, YOU CAN IMPLEMENT THE CORE FUNCTIONALITY IN AN AFTERNOON." So I guess I kinda get it.
- ins0 11y agoVisited the status page where you have the option to tweet status problems. I ended in a perfect loop circle. //edit as it looks like HN is now the twitter clone. hey @support your service is down!
- planetjones 11y agoI don't think this is going to help their share price!
- anacleto 11y agoDon't you say?
- poooogles 11y agoWonder what's caused the outage, they're leveraging Mesos/Aurora pretty heavily AFAIK which is what I'm moving towards so would rather it wasn't something on that side of things.
