The risk for Twitter isn’t that it might go down for some periods of time.
The risk is that if it starts going down on a regular basis and/or performance is degraded, a competitor could swoop in and clean their clocks.
This might be a good time for Google to start Google+ again as an independent product one needs to sign in and create a new account for.
