A genuine Silicon Valley Web Flyer | One line of code at a time...

You’ve been bluebirded.

is a Ruby on Rails experiment, and at least once a day I am greeted with these messages:

Twitter's blue screen of death

There is even a website called istwitterdown.com that displays a white background with one word in black text. Ironically, Twitter is down now, and it says, “No”. It does link to an Amazon page where you can download Kool and the Gang’s Celebration though.

Twitter’s blue screen of death makes me increasingly frustrated. Why don’t they switch to something that has already been proved to scale? PHP maybe?!

I still love Twitter for what it does. It really keeps me up-to-date with the people I follow.
