The social networking and micro blogging service Twitter.com was brought down by a major distributed denial of service attack earlier today. It took the service 3 hours to recover from the cyber attack
A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack occurs when hackers use infected computers to flood a website’s server (or servers) with thousands of requests for data packets per minute. Since the server can’t tell the difference between the good traffic and bad traffic, it crashes. The computer owners (YOU) don’t even realize their computers were used in the attacks.
In the meantime, millions of Twitter addicts were forced to find something else to do with their time such as get a life, reacquaint themselves with their children and pets, or actually put in some work for their employers.
I have not been on twitter since yesterday afternoon, so thanks for the update!
OH NO!! what will we do without knowing the every second of the minute up to date info on what celebs are doing with their every waking moment! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! im sorry i cant get wit twitter! too stalkerish.

“Put in some work for their employers.”

Twitter is what u make of it. if u dont want people to be all up in your business then dont put it out there. u can make private pages so only the people u want can see your udates. i dont care what nobody say i love me some twitter, its very entertaining and u get first dibs on news from the trending topics. me and daisy tweet during our shows and discuss

@crystal
TMI!! lol!!! although I have not twitter on the toliet I have talk on the phone while I was on the toliet. I know just nasty lmao! oh wells
I’m DYING IN LAUGHTER over here (STOP IT ALREADY!!!)
If I ever tweeted (WHICH I WOULDN’T)…
I would only tweet WHEN I’m flushing the Toilet and then everybody would wonder did he do a no.1 OR a no.2 ???
I WOULD NEVER give any other details other than saying
“I Just got through FLUSHING MY TOILET”
@ Mizz
*raise hand*
I’m also guilty of that. Depending on who is on phone I may mute to flush
I find a lot of people flushing on the other end of the phone as well so its something people do. Damn cordless phones.
LOL @ ELove
im guilty! i mute to flush but washing my hands and the echo of the bathroom gives it away!
I thought everybody talked on the phone while using the bathroom it really bothers one my gfriends but she will be ok..lol I don’t ever mute the line to flush whatever
Puffy did let the world know he had the runs last Sun and I was thinking TMI Puf TMI lol
I just don’t get it.
OH MY GOODNESS its down again
