I've scoured the comments and article, but I might have missed it... What did Twitter migrate from?? Did they have their own data centre before moving to Google

    Another step backward for the decentralisation of the Internet... not that Twitter was decentralised in the first place, but it's unsettling to see Google taking over more and more of the "big pieces" of Internet.

      Funnily enough, Twitter and Google were/are neighbors in a QTS datacenter in Atlanta.

        Just moving across the street then? It's probably the fastest data transfer ever by physically moving all the hard drives!
