Twitter Pwned Again
By now probably everybody at least heard about the various troubles that Twitter is currently experiencing. Actually this has been going on for a really long time but they generally do not seem to be making a solution; if they are then at least we're not seeing it.
I strongly believe that solutions that take off on this kind of scale should be as distributed as the web itself. The guys from Twitter should not be sitting back and blaming their own platform. They are just suffering the very typical issues of massive world-wide adoption. Their fault is not in their servers, their fault has been there right from the start: in their initial conception.
Just imagine all the e-mails of the world going through one server. They would have been much worse off than Twitter, I'm sure!
Microblogging should be just as distributed as blogging is currently. And standards can make it happen.
