A morning without Tweets

Posted: August 6th, 2009 | By: Steve Mullen | Filed under: Social Media News | No Comments

failwhaleWere you shaky and irritable this morning?  If so, it may have been the lack of Twitter.  The service was down all morning (EDT) due to a denial of service attack.  Facebook was also affected.  They stayed up, but were running slow.

I must admit that while I’m a Twitterjunkie, I didn’t notice it too much.  I was producing a podcast and working on a client website, so I wouldn’t have been Tweeting anyhow.  I do know at least one colleague (jokingly) said that without Twitter, she’d lost her will to live.

How did you handle your lack of Twitter?  Were you more productive?  Were you less productive due to the cold sweats and nausea?
