Twitpocalypse Now


Shahar Leonardo Goldfinger, the guy from TV, is a new recruit at #Finesse140, helping us manage our online social identity and spicing it with special geek effects. We also use him as a talented writer in a sweat shop without  any food, running only on energy drinks. This post is by him, welcome Shahar.

Mid-day, the entire staff of #Finesse140 social media, are sitting at their laptops, doing what social media people do, when suddenly, like a tornado hitting a poor defenseless village- Twitter went down (Read all about it and also DDoS).

Now, to most, Twitter is just a passtime, but to the freaks and geeks here at Finesse140, Twitter is like a cow to a Hindu family, It provides pastime, business and most importantly, social insight.

For about ten minutes, all of us here just sat there and stared at each other as we impotently F5′d our Foxes in hopes the glitch was short lived. But, then we recovered, we got on to YouTube, and our blogs, checked out our Facebooks more closely, everyone found a new twitterless calling. Everyone but me, and that’s why I’m writing this, to make it look like I’m productive.

  • Twitter outage was an annoyance for me, but significantly more serious for others. It was fascinating to watch for me. As a Brick and Mortar guy, I stress out when raw materials to my factories get shut off.

    Now I know what happens to people whose business and revenue is built around a social media platform when the platform goes down. You're out of raw material. No Input, no output. No Output, No Revenue.

    Interesting, and I never really contemplated that it could happen.
