the internet has been unreliable today. I assume this is due to me being offsite at a conference!

Sorry everybody!

the thing about twitter that really keeps me away is the fact that they're called "tweets" ew so gross.

One of the challenges some of us face as we try and introduce our friends and family to some of the new Web 2.0 applications is a very large brick wall. My best friend is insistent in her belief that “Twitter is gay” and refuses to report anything other than reports on a fictional cat named Tubby. But for many of us, we are slowly getting through.

some guy on another board had a great summarization of web 2.0:

HEY THE LOGOS HAVE SHADOWS UNDERNEATH ITS WEB 2.0

shadows vs. glossy reflections

We have to chase people down for doing this with our logo and mark

CUZ OF SHADOWS THERE ARE NOW 2 WEBS

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/31/hey-twitter-i-have-a-few-questions-too/

So I have a couple of questions, too, based on a couple of discussions I’ve had with people who say they’ve seen Twitter’s architecture.

- Is it true that you only have a single master MySQL server running replication to two slaves, and the architecture doesn’t auto-switch to a hot backup when the master goes down?

- Do you really have a grand total of three physical database machines that are POWERING ALL OF TWITTER?

- Is it true that the only way you can keep Twitter alive is to have somebody sit there and watch it constantly, and then manually switch databases over and re-build when one of the slaves fail?

- Is that why most of your major outages can be traced to periods of time when former Chief Architect/server watcher Blaine Cook wasn’t there to sit and monitor the system?

- Given the record-beating outages Twitter saw in May after Cook was dismissed, is anyone there capable of keeping Twitter live?

- How long will it be until you are able to undo the damage Cook has caused to Twitter and the community?

- What is Twitter for?
