Twitter is down this morning. So is Facebook at times, but only because people are rushing over from Twitter to cry. Anyway, the fine folks at Twitter are in the process of fighting a DOS attack, something we understand all to well, so please be patient, folks. Update: Twitter is back up and running. Intermittedly, anyway.

intermittently? reminds me of the flyer i saw years ago advertising a car for sale with "intermediate wipers". :)
Now attention whores everywhere will have to throw themselves off their chairs to get their fix.
Twitter, Facebook, and LiveJournal have all been the subject of DOS attacks this morning:
