As of writing, Twitter has been down for 2 hours – and according to its blog, twitter is defending a denial of service attack.
The hordes have headed over to Facebook to moan about Twitter, and to get their ‘status update fix’ – only to find that facebook is having problems too! Rumour has it that that’s a DoS attack too, but I have no statements to that effect.
It makes you wonder though doesn’t it – what would happen if Facebook and Twitter disappeared completely? Where would those who have built their business purely around one, the other or both be?
Which is why at NikkiPilkington.com we recommend that clients have in place a full Internet Marketing strategy, not reliant on one service or another, in order to maintain a reliable internet presence when something like this happens.
