10 Things to do when Twitter is down

August 6, 2009

twitter-fail-whale-300x225Twitter has been down all morning most of the day. This may be why people are taking Xanax by the handful a bit edgy this morning. The US Marines don’t have to worry about that because they are banned from using Twitter but for some, it’s a state of emergency.

We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly,” Twitter’s staff posted at 6:43 a.m. PDT on the service’s status blog. Get on it, Twitter.

Shortly was hours ago. Which in Twitter time is years. To heal the pain temporarily, I’ve come up with a few ideas on what to do while the Twitter gurus fix what’s ailing the site.  Read the list (and add to it) HERE

    You're so funny. When twitter is down. I usually check all of my twitter clients. I used to check my phone, but don't have that anymore. Long story! I know how you feel!

    I thought I was such a loser when I couldn’t tweet and was so upset by it. I’ll admit it here…I”m totally addicted to twitter. Is there a group for this?

    I can’t tell you how much I LOVE the new look! These types of layouts are my favorite. I tried to do one for mine, but it’s a wee bit difficult on Blogger.

    It totally suits you. :)

    Oops, yeah I can’t believe it when Twitter was down. What’s the deal with that? We could get work done but it’s nice to have it be by choice. Sheesh.

    Apparently Twitter was shut down because someone in Russia did not like what some guy in Georgia (the one in the Caucuses not the one way down south) was tweeting about on twitter…I hope someone does not shut down twitter because of one of your tweets….

    That was great! It is funny how much we depend on out social networks. As soon as they go down, we keep trying every 15 minutes and get frustrated that it is not up yet. We think of the best tweets and we can’t even tweet them. LOL I like your list though. I did a few of those myself.
