Always when Twitter goes down: "Ah damn. Is it down? Let's see if people on Twitter is mentioning something about it?"

It might be because of protest in Taksim, Istanbul. Everyone here was tweeting for/against RTE. I think servers were overloaded.

I've seen more people complaining Twitter is down on Facebook than anywhere else. How odd social networks can be.

As I've said elsewhere, why do we need to be told? If we use it, we'll notice. If we don't use it, we're unaffected. Why should every trivial, transient outage get reported on HN?

Not broken.

Don't submit "X is down" to hacker news.

Two reasons. First, if we need the service X, we already know. Second, you will likely be wrong in just a few minutes, as is true in this case.

If you want to know if some web service is down, ask http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/, not HN.

Based on the title I was thinking this was another philosophical comment about the business model, reduced to 140 characters. Perhaps even a haiku.
