"The company initially confirmed the outage by, somehow, tweeting, from its @support account. We were unable to see the tweet, because Twitter was down."
Not so long ago Twitter outages used to happen every now and then.
It's quite interesting to see how now everybody expects it to be running 24/7.
I was waiting on this to appear on Hacker News. I take to Twitter to complain whenever a service is down. Now that Twitter is down... I guess all that is left is this HN thread.
Wonder what's caused the outage, they're leveraging Mesos/Aurora pretty heavily AFAIK which is what I'm moving towards so would rather it wasn't something on that side of things.
Visited the status page where you have the option to tweet status problems.<p>I ended in a perfect loop circle.<p>//edit<p>as it looks like HN is now the twitter clone.<p><i>hey @support your service is down!</i>
