Twitter Gets DDOSed

  So dramatic that Arrington added a grocer's apostrophe to the title. Goodness, the news that Twitter has been DDoSed most be causing overwhelming excitement out in California.

    Upvoted for inspiring me to Google "grocer's apostrophe" and eventually leading me to the Wikipedia page on apostrophe's :-> in general, which I found to be startlingly fascinating.

      "apostrophes" not "apostrophe's" :-)

        Nothing get's by you.

        I know... I just had to be cheeky. That's why the :-> was there! :-]

    It's sad that YC needs to stay on good terms with TC so that its startups continue to get exposure through TC's channel. Any other submission or comment with a similarly dumb title would be flagged or downvoted. On the substance: perhaps Scoble's unfollow script is making the rounds. ;)

  It was probably caused by Robert Scoble unfollowing 106,000 people. http://mashable.com/2009/08/06/twitter-purge/ http://mashable.com/2009/08/06/twitter-purge/
