So I had a really fun day writing up about Twitter trying to DDOS itself. I didn't expect it to blow up the way it did here, but even more amusing is that someone took a screenshot of that post and cross-posted it to Twitter and now that post is blowing up on Twitter too!
Poor Twitter. Can't catch a break. It's down and even the holdouts want their turn to give it a good kick.
Update: I have to add a screenshot of that screenshot because someone just reminded me that most people can't view the tweet unless they have a Twitter account to login to. It's ironic of me to forget because that's how today's circus got started.
It also shows how a seemingly innocent change like this can snowball into an avalanche of unintended consequences.
Anyway, 4500 retweets later and the party continues.
