I said to myself, "Self, you don't ever tweet any more."I said to myself, "Self, you really should tweet more often."
I said to Twitter, "Twitter, I'm ready to tweet!"
Twitter said to me, "Answer hazy, try again later."
Man, this Intarwebz thingie would totally rock if someone could figure out how to handle monster loads of traffic.
Twitter was full? Its hard to believe that so many people could be informing the world about what they just ordered at Starbucks, all at the same time.
ReplyDeleteTruly we live in an age of miracles :)
You know, there were never any data load problems when we had 2400 baud modems connecting to some pimply dork's BBS down the street. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so. Sites like Twitter or Facebook are like the interstate highways of the internet. Loads of traffic moving fast. This leads to the other part of the highway analogy, traffic jams. I have noticed on I-95 that it doesn't matter how many lanes are provided, a single event can bring everything to a halt for hours.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, the two lane roads are mostly empty, but the value in travel is there.
This is true on the web as well, where following links until you find a site you have never visited, a site getting 30 or 50 hits a day, but is being written by someone with thoughtful ideas whose voice would otherwise not be heard is what really rocks about the internet.
I read something on maximumpc about Facebook expressing a need for 100 GBit LAN. Gee whiz.
