Twitter FAIL
It seems that Twitter is growing too fast for their servers to keep up. In the last week I have noticed alot of noise about Twitter being slow. And I keep getting this error;
Anyone else get this from the website?

Yes – or just lack of refresh on Tweetdeck and/or the Firefox plug-in. Seems to be working okay now, but yesterday the Firefox plug-in self-adjusted to updates in longer increments because traffic was down at Twitter. I'm still scratching my head…that doesn't follow.
Yes, yesterday was crazy slow on Tweetdeck so I tested the site and instantly got this error.
I couldn't even do a search yesterday!
It has failed a few times for me today too.
That, my friend, is the FAIL WHALE.
Yes I have heard of that. I pretty much use TweetDeck, but with everyone complaining about slowness I tested the site and keep getting the FAIL WHALE.
Just twisting the name as a test..
