Twitter was down when I checked it yesterday. Twitter gets overwhelmed often enough. It also seems to have problems delivering email to my inbox. If you use it you’ve seen it get overwhelmed a few times already. I don’t even login to Twitter that much and I’ve seen the “Twitter is over capacity” pages a lot. Apparently the cause is people clicking the refresh button in their browsers.
I’m personally ambivalent about Twitter as a push-marketing channel, which is how most internet marketers try to use it. I do use it here and there but I haven’t really pursued building a large base of followers or tweeting regularly to them.
