Twitter Down, Workplace Productivity and Number of Attentive Pedestrians Up

| August 6, 2009 | Comments (0)

If your workplace seems more productive today, and you notice that folks walking down the street seem to be staring down at their smartphones less than usual, there’s a reason for it.

Twitter is down due to a rather large DDOS attack. I say it’s large because it would have to be to bring Twitter to its knees.

So, those of you who are getting some sunshine where you are, today looks like a pretty good day to get some rays on that pasty white skin during your lunch hour, then come back and dig into a couple of those low-priority projects you’ve been putting off. The good news is that your boss probably doesn’t know anything about Twitter (the higher-up muckity-mucks usually don’t) and you’ll get credit for being an eager and enthusiastic employee.

UPDATE: They’re back!
