    Web apps suffer growing pains and the datacenters that support them cost lots of money to keep up. Now also realize the Twitter is an unprofitable startup, so investing in more datacenters world wide can be precarious to the business model. Mobile apps are the coming thing and the way we will all soon interact online, so since Twitter is not costing you anything to use, cut them some slack. Look at Blackberries, they suffer more outages than anybody and Blackberry users pay for that service.

        Thanks, I am a programmer at heart, web apps that is so I am a little more apt to cut some slack to upcoming web applications.

          true true, i bet a fair deal of the outrage more has to do with the social/emotional dependence some people are having on twitter these days than just giving twitter a hard time about tech issues.

            Addictive behavior. This also says that (you are right here) Twitter has become highly useful to many, or at least highly addictive. I just went through a Windows RPC crash and was without Internet for 24 hours. Boy was I not I nice person to be around....
