Where did all the tweets go?

It is 9:15 AM and not one tweet into my iPhone, on my Facebook - welcoming me back to another day in the world of Chaos and sin…

I decide to tweet – and voila – an API Error – i visit the site – and its offline -

I thought it was amazing that the Twitisphere just up and left the planet for some time – dark – dead – doornailed -

We use twitter for notifications as well as e-Mail and SMS  and even telephone – but I was taken back when I did not get a tweet about twitter being offline.

I actually had to visit their blog -   I felt so 2008!

At roughly 9:00am (EDT) this morning, the Twitisphere fell silent (or at least significantly fewer twitters).

Twitter’s blog announced the popular site was under DDoS.
