All I can think, smugly, is that DNS, SMTP, HTTP, etc. don't "go down". Twitter should be a protocol, not a website.

- zzo38computer 7y agoYes, I agree, and I invented a Netsubscribe protocol with a similar use. (There is also ActivityPub, but Netsubscribe is much simpler.) (And then there is other stuff where there are already suitable protocols for too, such as SMTP, NNTP, IRC, etc)
- Elidrake24 7y agoDNS absolutely -goes down-, though in much more entertaining ways.
- EvanAnderson 7y agoAll the DNS in the world can't fail at once. All the Twitter can.
- MYEUHD 7y agoThis is because Twitter is centralized.
