Twitter down yet again?

by Dave Rosenberg

I have been on Twitter for 4 days now and I've yet to have the service stay up full-time. It's disappointing to see this service that so many people love go down a sad Friendster-like uptime death spiral.

This has to get fixed or some other hipster thing will come along and these guys will only be able to blame themselves. Assuming the service comes back up, you can follow my meaningless chatter at http://www.twitter.com/daveofdoom

Dave Rosenberg dishes up "Software, Interrupted" with nearly 15 years of technology and marketing experience that spans from Bell Labs to multiple start-up IPOs to open-source enterprise software companies. He is co-founder of MuleSource and currently serves as the general manager of Hardy Way. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.

Twitter needs to sort out this problem--fast. As more users begin to rely on Twitter for messaging, networking, etc. the impact of downtime will worsen. It went down yesterday just as I was doing a demo for a colleague. Certainly if Twitter wants to leverage commercial business, reliability is a must.
